    Hancock 2

    Seems like I'm one of the few people who actually enjoyed the original...

    Sure it had flaws but I still enjoyed it. Hopefully a sequel can improve on it...

    Ugh ... the first was forgettable, watered down pish, which had moments of interest.

    I wanted the full-on R-Rated Hancock, but oh no, can't have Will Smith doing that ... let's just make a lame movie with a twist you see coming from a bajillion miles away.

    Got no interest in seeing it again, let alone a sequel.

    I kinda liked it. But I do remember thinking the "villain" was kinda forced into it somehow. He had no real reason to hate Hancock.

    i really liked hancock, but does the story need a sequel?, not really, it ended with him finally settling into the role of a hero, what more did you need to see?, hes the only superhero and theres no supervillians, it can only be two things, one: its more of the same, two: a "previous unknown" superpowered villain shows up.

    if something besides those two are the outcome ill eat my hat with a bagel and cream cheese.

    I recall thinking Hancock was "okay", but now I can't remember very much of it. That says alot, right there...

    I'm all for sequels if there's a story to tell, but this?

    Sequels are better than a whole line of remakes though.

    I'd rather have a pointless sequel than a pointless remake.

    I dunno. . I really liked Hancock. It explored a different side of the superhero persona. . one that we havn't seen on screen at least. I think there's still plenty left to do with the story, although I would prefer a prequel. . .showing his downward spiral.

    The previews led you to believe the movie was going to blow you away. In instead I was given this major snoozefest. I'll pass on part II should it come out.

    Agreed. I thought the origin was kinda interesting & how the pieces to his background/what happened to him came together.

    I wouldn't mind a sequel, cause I kinda always hated when they do an "origin" story for an original superhero & then you're left thinking "I want to see what happens next!" (Unbreakable is a HUGE example to me....would have LOVED to see a sequel to that one.)

    This. I'm SO sick of f*cking remakes, man....

    I rather enjoyed the first one, so I'd be down with a sequel if they have a decent story behind it.
