Probably it was Sony’s ambitious goal to produce multiple sequels to "Superman Hancock for All", which also made part of the film a bit confusing because of too many clues buried. When Hancock had more contact with Ray’s wife, Mary, Mary suddenly became a superman with extraordinary abilities. She and Hancock are a couple who have been in love for 3,000 years. They have a good story angle. The director did not have a good grasp of the transition point of the story, which caused the final plot of the film to be unsmooth.

Compared to an alternative superhero story, this time the protagonist is an unwelcome job. The first half is a course for public brand image building, and the "love drama" in the second half is neither poignant nor touching. The plot is severely compressed, making it impossible to chew.

Mary Embrey: [referring to Hancock] Did he... just take the whiskey bottle to the bathroom?
Ray Embrey: Do you want him to kill us all?

Ray Embrey: My basic diagnosis of your fundamental problem is... do you want to hear it?
Hancock: No.
Ray Embrey: You're an asshole. I know. I call it like I see it, though. It's not a crime to be an asshole, but it's very counter-productive. Not a crime, but you are an asshole, don't you think?
Hancock: Be careful.
