But all in all I enjoyed the movie First things first: if you are expecting a Marvel blockbuster or DC A-list superhero caliber Hollywood treatment simply because The Green Hornet wears a mask, uhm, dispel that notion right now or you're not going to have any fun at all. Think more along the lines of 1999's Mystery Men, and expect some cringe-worthy scenes.<br/><br/>-- "The Green Hornet" is a B-movie, as is befitting of a grade-B TV series canceled after only one season for being, uh, let's be charitable and only label it mediocre. The TV-show being saddled with a theme (media mogul by day, masked crusader by night) which precedes both the Clark Kent/Superman and Bruce Wayne/Batman alter-egos but which to the layman errantly appears to rip them off doesn't help (Britt's paper having a reporter who has a hate-on for the Hornet is similar to the often-seen Spiderman-cast-as-villain theme).<br/><br/>In other words, the existing radio/TV material was difficult to work with in that it couldn't be played straight without retreading very familiar ground.<br/><br/>I'd like the think that that the reason the film project remained in development hell so long is that everyone came to realize this after more than a moment's familiarity, and one that note, everyone should be thanking Seth Green that anything eventually saw the light of day at all. What he released was hammy to be sure; but it could have been worse. Much worse. At least you're not going to have to worry about listening to a bunch of tendentious philosophical mumbo-jumbo spouted by invulnerable juggernauts plodding their way through Deus ex Mechina confrontations (*cough* pick an X-Men movie *cough*). -- And there aren't any mad scientists dressing up as space-aliens in this (the TV series-killing season-ender stinker episodes), so there's that to look forward to.<br/><br/>While Seth's "stupid white boy" antics are predictably over-the-top, I ask you: who didn't know that going in? (It would have been more fun for me if Brett had been the car genius, however; and had, say, a time-served tour-of-duty overseas which would at least attempt to explain the plot hole of how these two espresso-sipping civilians manage to acquire military-grade heavy machineguns and rockets.) Chou was perfect in his role; the scene with him improbably drowning in the pool reined in (and spoofed) the incipient "omnipotent Asian sidekick" meme which had been previously building up. Unlike the original Bruce Lee, he can actually act his way out of a paper bag during dialogue scenes, and has a sense of humility absent in the martial-artists ubiquitously considered for the Kato role. (The film, I think, missed an opportunity to present Seth's portrayal of the Hornet as a man a little more capable in physical combat, at least in the sense of being able to, if not dish out, at least take punishment more effectively, a la inebriated Viking ancestor genes or some such.) The villain didn't do anything for me, but then they usually don't in these sorts of things.<br/><br/>Audience pleaser: a certain annoying and wholly unnecessary aspect-neigh-curse of modern civilization is blown to smithereens halfway through the film, and it'll have even you whooping in appreciation. Yes, even those of you who are steadfastly determined to hate everything else in the film while enjoy that scene. A violent, clumsy, jokey, badly-plotted and miscast mess. It's best to let Rogen himself speak about this subject. From WorstPreviews.com: Seth Rogen, writer and co-star of the upcoming The Green Hornet, told Sci Fi Wire that the film will possess elements of both comedy and action. "To me, the two aren't mutually exclusive," said Rogen. "You can have a big action epic with a lot of funny parts." Green Hornet is a big-screen adaptation of the superhero franchise, which was adapted as a popular 1960s television series and was inspired by the original radio program created in the 1930s. Hornet follows the adventures of Britt Reid, a bored playboy who inherits his father's crusading newspaper, the Daily Sentinel. By night he is a masked hero, fighting crime with his sidekick, Kato, who has incredible martial-arts skills. Rogen, whose film projects to date have been primarily comedic in nature, said that the forthcoming update will evoke other action films that feature an undercurrent of humor. "I've seen the early 'Indiana Jones' movies in theaters, and they kill," Rogen said. "There's laughs throughout the whole thing, and it doesn't feel like a comedy per se. It just feels like something that's trying to solicit reactions from the audience, and we think of movies like 'True Lies' and stuff like that. That's more kind of what we're going for with this." Director Michel Gondry also has said this about the film's tone: "It's an action movie with some comedy in it. The action will be fast and furious and the comedy will come from the dynamic between Kato and Britt Reid." Reportedly, he stepped down to work on a superhero spoof comedy starring Jack Black. It's called "Live With Me" by the Rolling Stones.
