Hancock/Wall-E [spoilers behind tags, pleezokthnxbainow]

Post by **Sades** » Sat Jul 05, 2008 3:09 am

One word: Adorable. Disney has playing with people's emotions down to a science, they do.

I loved this movie so much I was going to make a bid for the giant 3-D promo standee they had outside the theatre. Unfortunately, it was gone the day the BF and I went in to see Hancock. :/

Opinions? General babble?

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

So this movie was just brilliant as most Pixar films are. Anyone else think that Wall-E looked like a love child of Johnny 5 and R.O.B.?

EDIT: Say... Sadie? How is Hancock? I've heard mixed opinions from the family.

YAY WALL-E!! If you do not like this film you are actually a sock puppet, or something equally as unsentient and nonliving.

I so want my own Wall-E.

I liked Hancock. It wasn't a great film, but it wasn't horrible. I'm not entirely certain it was worth the admission price however.

My big thing about Hancock was that it felt like two different movies. There was the first bit, where he's becoming the hero... and then there's the second, super secret plotline...

THE PUBLIC RELATIONS DUDE'S WIFE IS ANOTHER IMMORTAL. OOOOOH.

And not only that, she and Hancock were "fated" to be together, then after a bit of danger and uncertainty, she dies. Oh, yay.

I personally could have done without the second bit. An extended first bit would have made for a much better movie, IMO...

We took the kids to see Wall-E a couple of days ago. I loved it, the kids loved it, it was ****ing great! It seriously brought tears to my eyes at the end ...

SPOILER! (select to read)
when they made it seem as though Wall-E lost his memory/personality.

The movie was seriously brilliant, hands down the best Pixar movie to date in my opinion, not only for the animation but the story telling. To make chemistry between two animated robots so damn cute and adorable is really a work of art.

You can have your own if you have $190 to buy one...

Saw hancock thursday. I thought it was ok. Will Smith hits another one out of the ballpark in my opinion. I love the emotion that he puts in the character, while retaining the funny.

Also, and I know this isnt one of the movies on the list, but if you are a big fan of the Wanted graphic novel, and you're going to see the movie with that in mind, you might as well go see hancock or something, the novel is NOTHING like the movie, and its not a good thing.

That’s disappointing, but I can’t say I’m surprised.

I went with my Youth Group kids to see Wall-E last weekend, and I was pleasantly surprised. Great chemistry between two main robots... also loved the storylines with all the humans being so lazy in the future. The captain was awesome.

Saw Hancock yesterday... it was pretty good. I wasn't expecting much, but Will Smith was great as usual. Also love Jason Bateman's character. It seemed like they could have done a lot more with the whole storyline though... ah well.

Thats no future, my mother in law is already like that. She seriously only moves to go from the bedroom to the couch and go to the bathroom. Its just too bad they don't have the floating chairs for her, it would save us a lot of trouble of having to go and get everything for her.

There are hideously cute Wall-E toys in the local Tesco store right next to the remaining TFs. They all look like a remake of Short Circuit Number 5, only shorter.

http://www.toysrus.co.uk/SearchResults. ... e&zone=Tru for a sample of offerings.

I must either a) upchuck or b) destroy them all or c) not walk down that aisle until they are all removed.

Never going shopping again is not an option.

We are looking forward to Kung Fu Panda.

Yeah, me too. I was like "Noooooooooooo!!!!!"

... And I have never [by my memory, anyway] cried at a movie before. I was tearing up like a five-year old watching Bambi.

Saw Hancock. I liked it.

Sades, you forgot to mention that when Hancock and the wife are together they become mortal, and while she does die, she comes back to life

Haven't seen Wall-E may or may not. Ienanoe. Though from the commercials where he keeps going "Whoah!" I can totally see Keanu doing the voice. That'd be typecasting at its finest.

Eh.

Wall-E was alright. I dont understand all the orgasming over it though. Auto > Wall-E.

We're going to see Hellboy 2 this weekend, but what I'm really pumped for is The Dark Knight. Dear sweet jesus I cant wait for this movie to come out. It's gonna be most awesome indeed. I cant wait to see how Heath Ledger does as the joker. I know he doesnt really LOOK like a normal version of him, but the personality seems spot on from the trailers.

And here I thought they had different version in Canada. The moment when Hancock tries to move as far away as he can from Mary was my favourite in the whole movie.

I actually read Sadie's spoiler before going to the cinema and I'm kinda glad I did. I like Mary's reactions to Hancock when here husband brought him home knewing she's one of his kind.

I really liked it, but agree it could have done more with the stuff that was touched upon (who were "they" who were attacking Hancock and Mary throughout the history and were they an organisation, like, say in Jumper?). It had only 90 minutes and I wouldn't mind it it were twenty minutes longer.

electro girl · Post by **electro girl** » Sat Jul 19, 2008 11:30 am

I'm going to the cinema tomorrow and im torn bettween Wall-E and Hancock. Which do you think is better or that i should see first?

Also when is Hell boy 2 out?
