I personally think Hancock was very underdeveloped, they could of made it way more interesting if they would of spent more time writing instead of working on special effects. They rushed the ending too, at least I think so.

I actually did the with Lord of the Ring's,
but that's a whole other story.

Yeah but I would put money that The Dark Knight get's
countless nomination's and award's...And Hancock get's notta.

But it's cool, I remember thinking "Dude Where's My Car?" was a good movie.

I didn't mind Hancock. I didn't pay to see it, but I thought it was pretty good. Funny, but a bit short. In no way does it hold a candle to Batman, though.

That's what I love about Batman. It's not like other superhero movies where you have to suspend disbelief, it's something that could really happen.

Your absolutely right. That's what I was thinking when I went to see it. The script writers left much to be desired. It had tons of potential, but they didn't develop the characters and storyline enough. I am a big Will Smith fan. "I Am Legend" was great. "The Pursuit of Happyness" was another one of his recent great movies. This film falls a bit short in my mind.

Dont get me wrong, I laughed at it a few times. And I actually enjoyed it. But when you sit back and look at the movie, and look at the storyline and substance...It sucked. Quite enjoyable though.

Is that the 6 year old childhood fantasy coming out?

Though I do actually know what you are saying. I haven't seen Dark Knight yet, was going to yesterday, but saw these Chinese Acrobats, was sick actually. But with Begins, I felt the movie had a lot of substance because it didnt over play the nonsensical aspects. Which gave it realism, and takes it way above other movies in its genre, for me.

The only thing I found to be kinda of "Out there" is the airplane part, I'm not going to explain anything but people who have seen the movie know what I'm talking about.

Bale was really good...Eckhart was great...Ledger was amazing. Honestly, one of the greatest performances I have ever seen...

I watched it last night. Great movie. I really enjoyed it, and Ledger's performance was incredible. I believed every second of it, he took the movie to the next level. Which they could clearly tell as it pretty much revolves around him. Bale took more of a back seat role I felt, which normally would have annoyed me, because I loved his performance in Batman Begins. But Ledger more than made up for it.

Great stuff, and definitely worth 2 hours and 30 mins of your time.

The "Out There" aspect in it MAS, I felt, was when they showed the Joker's video on the news...That would never happen. But they needed to get his threat in there somehow I suppose, as it was pivotal in the storyline.

Well anyway, well worth a watch, and the best movie I have seen this year.

They show hostage films and terrorist clips on the news all the time. While the Joker's was very graphic, I have no problem thinking the media would show that footage.

I dont believe they would show a ransom clip like that, myself. Yeah they show terrorist clips, but they are never anything like that, which was full blown insanity. The news might well be there to scare us, but even they have limits. The clips like that are often hostages being forced to talk and whatever. This clip effectively showed torture, insanity, mass panic being induced and ultimately death. Dont think it would get shown myself.

But I forgot the most unrealistic part if that is what we are discussing. *Mild Spoiler Alert* Harvey Dent coming out the hospital like that. Just dont see that one happening.

Anyway, the movie was awesome. Im not knocking it, I just felt the Airplane part wasnt particularly unbelievable compared to a couple of other parts.

And yeah GPG, Id go if I was you. Everyone seems to be loving it that I have spoken to. And its been out over a week, and on a Sunday night at 1930, the showing was sold out that I went to see. Just thought that was quite impressive when its getting shown at least 5 times a day.

Just got back from the cinema, and I have to say, that as probably the best movie I'd ever seen. All the actors and actresses put in very strong performances, from Heath Ledger to the guy who played the Mayor.
I particularly liked the guy who played the Lieutenant. I don't know his name, but I thought he was very very good. Would he be considred a supporting character? Because he was, then I could see him winning a few awards. That whole film should be expecting quite a few awards.

From operation skyhook link that IS posted...

He next used a pig, as pigs have nervous systems close to humans. Lifted off the ground, the pig began to spin as it flew through the air at 125 mph. It arrived on board undamaged but in a disoriented state. Once it recovered, it attacked the crew.
Thats freaking funny.... I would have loved to see that.

He gave a good performance, but I dont know if it was award worthy. I dont think it was that challenging of a role to play. Dont get me wrong, very convincing, but nothing that blows your mind...Like I felt Ledger's did..
