Should be drama
Tons of violence. Most of it isn't bloody but it is action packed.Two kisses. Very strong language. Like about three uses of F**k. And ***hole a few times.

A message about respect is drowned out by language, excessive drinking
Despite popular belief, superhero movies can indeed be funny, and the hit 2008 action-comedy Hancock proves it without a doubt. Hancock is a quirky blend of action, comedy, romance, a dash of drama and a pinch of sci-fi. Basically, it has enough variety to appease fans of many genres. You want to laugh? It's here. You want to cry? You probably will. You want to jump out of your seat? You just might. While there is plenty to like, Hancock is not a superhero movie for the young kids, and the PG-13 is spot-on, due to alcohol abuse and lots of language. Best reserved for teens or mature preteens. Other than that mentioned, Hancock also has quite a bit a violence and blood, some sexual tension, and excessive consumerism. I gave it three stars, but it almost teeters down to two. Only watch it with an open mind, and expect disappointment.

Pretty funny, but mostly in offensive ways.
All to be concerned over is the language: A little boy calls Hancock an "a--hole" near the beginning of the film when he says he won't save anyone. Hancock tells everybody that they're "all f--ked up" after he saves a man from a train crash. Hancock yells at a few people in the neighborhood and calls them "pr--ks". The words "a-s", "a--hole", "j--ka-s", and anything else including the word "a-s" are used throughout the entire film, with other words like "s--t", "f--k", "b--ch", and "sl--".

Don't get the unrated version.
In the unrated version, there is one scene where Hancock and some random woman are having sex in a trailer. You don't see anything but you hear it all, with some explicit sexual language. Other than that, it's fine. 10+ for rated version, 13+ for unrated

I really like this movie and i think Will Smith does an awesome job. Hancock is an alcojolic with some problems, so i cant really say this has good role models, but later on he does start to do good things. It isnt too violent but there is a ton of violence thrughout the movie. There is a lot of language for a PG-13 movie. Hancock uses the f-word once and the s-word is used in about double digits. The rest of the language is mild, but there is one thing that NEEDS to be noted: characters (including kids) say a-- about 40 times. If you tolerate the language than this movie is fine. I really liked it. Also, when Hancock is in jail he shoves a mans head up another guys butt.

Perfect for tweens and up, not for younger kids.
Good movie, I think just some elements are too racy for younger chidren, may cause nightmares and/or crying for very little kids. I saw it when i was 11 and it was fine but my little brother found it frightening and the language was too much.

a PG-13 and UNRATED family friendly comedy/action movie
this is a funny action movie. funny like the "Rush Hour" movies but some strong language and hancock is a violent superhero. like when people call him the a word he does physical violence on them. this movie comes in both PG-13 and UNRATED versions. but family friendly.

Too violent for younger kids but ok for tweens
although the special effects aren't the best, the movie is very good. hancock is a troubled guy but turns into a really nice superhero. the plot may be hard to follow for younger kids, and the violence is probably to intense. people are nearly killed using bombs strapped to their chests, gun fights, stabbing, and shooting. if you are over eleven though, a perfect movie!
