It was that while he was successful in reducing crime, problems arose due to his alcohol drinking problem; he frequently caused more damage than he prevented. After preventing the death of Ray Embrey in a train accident, a grateful Ray attempted to improve Hancock's public image.
Ray persuaded Hancock that the best way to repair his public image was to appear humble and him turn himself in to the courts, gambling that the city will eventually realize that they need Hancock to keep crime at manageable levels. Eventually, Ray's plan worked and in response to rapidly rising crime rates, the city released Hancock to help with a hostage situation. After thwarting the hostage situation and subduing the criminal gangs leader, Red Parker , by cutting off the hand in which he was holding a detonator, the city welcomed Hancock back.
Spending more and more time with Ray's family, Hancock felt an attraction to Ray's wife Mary which eventually led to the revelation that Mary shared similar powers to Hancock, manifested by Mary throwing him through the kitchen wall and down the street.
Mary initially attempted to convince Hancock that they were brother and sister, but eventually told him the truth that they were created to be together. The pair ended up battling each other and Hancock learned his true age; Mary revealed to Hancock that they were the last of their kind and the race they belonged to were once referred to as gods and angels, but were now thought of as superheroes.
Mary inadvertently revealed her secret powers to Ray and she alongside Hancock tell Ray the full details of their past and their prior relationship. Hancock prevented a liquor store robbery, but was shot twice in the chest in the process, being immediately rushed to the hospital.
While visiting Hancock, Mary revealed that prolonged contact with each other results in deterioration of both their powers and eventually, they would lose their immortality. She then describes their lives from 4 B. Taking advantage of Hancock's weakened state, Red Parker arrived at the hospital and attacked Hancock, where Mary was shot in the process. Though Hancock killed al of Red's henchmen, he sustained a severe beating at the hands of Red. This revelation drags down the tone of the movie as Hancock is forced to start taking itself seriously.
Smith soon starts succumbing to wounds thanks to a plot contrivance. But ironically the original, much more intense ending was actually far more interesting. This iteration of the film closed on a bleak, brutal, and bloody note. Critics agreed that the finished film was an imperfect movie and that the tonal switch into self-serious melodrama after the halfway mark doomed the light-hearted humor of the opening scenes. The production history of Hancock was a long and tortured story.
For many years, the film was in development hell like fellow superhero movie The Flash. This will not affect the original upload Small Medium How do you want the image positioned around text?
