I warned you peeps a few weeks back the early buzz on this flick was NOT good. Seems the early buzz was true. www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hancock/LA Times "It's a strange feeling to see the summer's most promising premise self-destruct into something bizarre and unsatisfying, but that is the Hancock experience." |

Ouch, looks like Wil's streak might end in terms of blockbusters.

It won't end, just hit a bump a road.
Unless he keeps hanging out with Tom Cruise. That doesn't exactly do wonders for a career these days.

Actually the Incredible Hulk didn't have very good buzz until about the week before it came out. The advertising for the film up to that point hadn't been well received because most of the previews weren't very good. Hulk was helped out by some last minute good buzz. |

I saw it tonight, It wasn't too bad. It started out pretty decent, then got "meh" when things got "serious". But it's not as bad as the reviews I'm reading.

I bought my ticket tonight for tomorrow night's 10 pm show. I don't care about reviews. I'll watch it to decide rather or not I liked it. I don't need "Hollywood buzz."

Is it really "the summer's most promising premise"? Maybe more 'the summer's most promising box office draw' is in something not so fantastic, but it's not as if the whole premise is something mindblowingly awesome.

So I guess the Super Ejaculation didn't impress?

You do know by starting/jumping into threads about this movie, to tell us how much it sucks, you're giving it publicity, right?

Publicity for movies is a good thing.
I wish for every year to break the box office records.

Well I'm looking forward to the serious part of the movie so I'm still going. If it dissapoints then I'll just have to deal. Maybe the trailers just make it look like my cup of tea.

I'm not trying to get people to not see it, I'm just telling them in advance it's not going to be very good.
And you should never assume you know what I'm thinking.
