Trivia:
Warner Bros. passed on the chance to make the film. Sony then stepped in. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In one scene, the TV news announcer states that Hancock has been taken to "Los Angeles General Hospital" but in the following scene, there is an exterior shot of the hospital with the sign "Mercy General Hospital". moreQuotes:
[first lines]Police Officer: All units. All units. Code 3 pursuit of 2-11 white SUV heading east on Alameda service road. Suspects: three Asian males. Request back-up immediately. Be advised. Shots fired. Shots fired.

Lots of people, including the critics, are ragging on this film. Seriously, what did they expect? It's a Hollywood blockbuster with Wil Smith in. Get over it, turn your brain off, and sit back and enjoy the ride.
For what it was, I thought it pretty good. It was entertaining, took a unique take on the superhero thing, and didn't have an overt number of huge gaping plot holes or completely blithe dialog.
If you're feeling like a Wil Smith movie, go for it. It's not as bad as they say... just don't expect any more than the typical Hollywood affair.
