I thought I am legend sucked, hard. Didn't know much about Hancock except what I saw briefly in previews and I was very impressed by the movie. Good story which they moved along at an excellent pace, great concept and while they could have made it a 3 hour epic with tediously long scenes, I thought it was the just the right length.

I give it 4.5 FG's out of 5.

I saw Don't Mess With The Zohan last weekend and thought it was awful! Honestly felt ripped off.

I agree, absolute crap I thought... The accents were so bad it was frustrating me the whole way through, and the constant little kid humour was also annoying.
Hope to see Hancock soon, sounds good!

Hancock is very funny but don't take it seriously.It is obvious a sequel is possible.
