646f9e108c When the publisher of "The Daily Sentinel" dies, his son Britt Reid inherits his newspaper. The idle Britt is a playboy that parties all the time with women and hates his father but he is forced to become the new publisher. He also meets his father's mechanic Kato, who is a skilled fighter of kung fu, and they decide to fight crime for fun wearing masks. Britt uses "The Daily Sentinel" to promote "The Green Hornet" and his sidekick, attracting the attention of the kingpin Chudnofsky, Now the Green Hornet is chased not only by the police, but also by Chudnofsky that is hunting him down.
When news magnate James Reid dies, his son Britt and chauffeur Kato, resentful of Reid's slights, vandalize a graveyard statue. By chance, they also rescue a couple from thugs, but TV reports the vandalism, not the heroism. Britt, thinking he's a genius while relying on Kato's mechanical and kung-fu skills, decides to be a superhero, the Green Hornet, and use his father's paper to play up the bad-guy elements. The reporting on the Hornet upsets LA's DA, who's up for reelection, and the city's real crime boss, Chudnofsky. Plus, how long will Kato suffer in silence, when he has all the skill? Competition for the affection of Britt's assistant, Lenore, brings things to a head.
Let me begin by saying i have never seen the original, so i don't know the real story. The Green Hornet is tagged as a comedy, action and crime, so i will address each type. First off is comedy, which was sorely missing from this film. Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz funny? Luckily Cameron Diaz was not in too many scenes because she is horrible as comedic actress, even Aniston might be better. Seth Rogen has been in many comedies, but has yet to make me laugh once. He reminds me of my mother's second husband, ugly fat dude with no personality. Secondly, action is provided all due to the excellent performance of Jay Chou. This is the first time i've seen this actor, but i thought he was engaging as Kato. He provided the only comedy and action that was available in this film. i hope to see his other films now and see what he does in the future. And at last we have crime, which was provided by actor Christoph Waltz in the role of the evil Chudnofsky. The actors performance was okay, even a little funny, but the character was one dimensional, a carbon copy of all evil crime bosses before him. In fact there is not one thing in this film that was original. A young boy grows up with a rich strict father, his father dies, he is angry, he wants coffee, he hires his servant back, his servant makes coffee and gadgets, then they fight crime. Wow, that sounds ridiculous when i say it that way, but i guess Michel Gondry, one of the best youngish directors of today, and the studio heads did not say it that way or this horrible film would not have been made. In conclusion if you must watch it, you feel like you will miss out on something if you don't, then be sure to wait to see it on TV for free, so perhaps you can find some entertainment in the commercials.
On the surface this might sound like an awkward concept with extremely questionable casting, and in execution it's exactly that. I'll admire the guts it took to look at the franchise from a totally different perspective and cast Seth Rogen as the lead, but he really doesn't step up his game to match the opportunity. His character is a complete jerk, an unlikeable doofus I couldn't pull for in the even simplest melodramatic setup, and Rogen's constant pursuit of the perfect mistimed joke only adds fuel to the fire. Of course, it doesn't help matters that the movie itself is an incomprehensible mess, constantly straddling the line between reality and exaggeration, without a tangible player in the hunt. Director Michel Gondry brings a grand total of three surreal, dreamy, inspired scenes to the table and sleepwalks through the rest of the process, which is a major disappointment. An irritatingly generic action dump with neither an emotional connection to the audience nor a tangible hold on reality. In short, a total waste of time.
Never achieves sufficient traction to go the blockbuster distance.
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.
