We see a police officer who has been wounded by gunfire we do not see the wounds, but see her in pain. In several scenes we see a man get shot several times at close range he is not injured. A man threatens to blow people up. We see a woman punch a man hard and he is thrown through the air. We see a man snatch a man through a wall. We see a man hit a woman in the back of the head with a rolling pin there is no blood or gore. We see a man poke a woman in the shoulder with a fork there is no blood or gore.
A man is hit in the face with a metal pole and falls to the ground. We see a man trying to choke another man. Police chase a car full of men who have guns and automatic weapons. The expense of insurance claims and law suites also causes superheroes to fall from grace in the animated film The Incredibles. Will Smith plays another character who finds himself down and out in The Pursuit of Happyness.

Although he's blessed with powers even Batman would envy -- he flies, can lift cars with one hand, and is bullet-proof -- John Hancock Will Smith is far from your typical superhero.
Even when he "helps," he wreaks more havoc, ripping up streets when he lands, knocking freeway signs down, and squabbling with people who are fed up with his shenanigans.
So it's perfect timing that he meets up with compassionate publicist Ray Embrey Jason Bateman , who thanks Hancock for saving his life by making it his personal cause to refashion the superman's image. Ray's wife, Mary Charlize Theron , isn't so sure it's a good idea. But could she have undisclosed reasons for wanting to maintain her distance? Surprising and original, Hancock hooks viewers within the first 10 minutes, when the movie makes it clear that you're in for a different kind of superhero movie.
Who's ever seen a hero as churlish as Hancock? Fans of comic book-based films may initially be put off, but they should persevere, despite the liberties that director Peter Berg takes with the genre's fundamentals. At the very least, the special effects are superb. And just when you think you've got the movie figured out, you're handed another bolt from the blue, as the film metamorphoses from a somewhat typical Smith buddy comedy into an unexpectedly tragic and romantic film.
Hancock takes the usual superhero movie conventions and turns them on their head: Hancock doesn't just have a tragic past that compels him to do good -- a la Spider-Man -- but is himself tragic. He has no secret identity, but he has secrets he doesn't know. That, combined with strong performances from the stars except for his propensity to squint too much, Smith manages to turn in a fairly understated performance, and Bateman's ease belies the talent that allows him to seem realistic within a fantastical frame , makes for an intellectually satisfying superhero movie.
It takes a leap of faith, but ultimately it's worth the trouble. Families can talk about why kids want to see this movie -- is it because of the story, or because of all the hype? Discuss why Hancock is so distant and angry in the beginning of the movie. How are both Hancock the character and Hancock the movie different from and similar to other cinematic superheroes?
