Storyline Edit. The powerful superhero John Hancock has become a joke because of his alcoholism and clumsiness. He has also become the most hated man in Los Angeles. Though he has saved many lives, he also destroyed a lot of property, costing the city millions every time he goes into action.
When he saves the life of PR expert Ray Embrey from an oncoming train, the executive is thankful and believes he can restore Hancock's image as a true superhero. He brings the anti-hero home for dinner and introduces him to his son Aaron, a big fan, and to his wife, Mary.
But for some mysterious reason Mary doesn't want Hancock anywhere near her or her family. There are heroes. There are superheroes. And then there's Rated PG for some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and language. Did you know Edit. Trivia The original screenplay was much darker. Apart from being a low-life, Hancock was supposed to be sexually frustrated because he couldn't have sex with a woman without killing her.
The MPAA actually cleared a scene involving Hancock's explosive orgasm, but it was removed from the final cut because a test audience didn't find it funny. The tone was lightened considerably for a summer release aimed at a wide audience, but the MPAA gave the film an R twice before language and violence cuts resulted in a PG Goofs When the people are running away from the tornadoes, suddenly a strange character runs from the left to the right of the screen. The character is twice as tall as everyone else, and looks like a robot or an alien.
It may be a street performer, on stilts and in costume. Quotes John Hancock : All of you people, blocking the intersection, you're all idiots. Crazy credits A scene after the credits start to roll. The additional scenes include, but are not limited to: Hancock bringing a girl to his trailer to have sex, Mary Embrey driving to Hancock's trailer instead of flying there, and Hancock getting off a prison bus while chained to other prisoners whom he drags behind him.
Geils as John Geils Jr. User reviews Review. Top review. Not your typical "superhero" movie, but still good. I was lucky enough to go to a pre-screening of Hancock last night and I really enjoyed it. Smith soon starts succumbing to wounds thanks to a plot contrivance.
But ironically the original, much more intense ending was actually far more interesting. This iteration of the film closed on a bleak, brutal, and bloody note.
Critics agreed that the finished film was an imperfect movie and that the tonal switch into self-serious melodrama after the halfway mark doomed the light-hearted humor of the opening scenes. The production history of Hancock was a long and tortured story. For many years, the film was in development hell like fellow superhero movie The Flash. The movie went through many rounds of revisions before it finally reached the big screen. However, despite this complimentary appraisal, Berg was keen to make the movie more multiplex-friendly.
Even Berg's later comments on a potential Hancock sequel focused on the relationship between Hancock and Mary instead of returning to the original draft. So what was in the original script that needed to be toned down so much? Well, Tonight, He Comes did not follow the story of a depressed superhero finding his long-lost mate through the intervention of a friendly publicist.
In the first draft script, Hancock also suffers severe PTSD and this is implied to be the cause of his violent outbursts.
The film makes it clear that these tragedies have taken a severe psychological toll on the superpowered being, resulting in attempts to better himself before he loses his mind. Enraged and driven insane, Hancock himself proceeds to slaughter an entire police department in frustration.
