    Great film

    WARNING SPOILERS! 
     
     
     I haven't read the comics or seen the shows so I don't know if the film was a good adaptation. But as a stand alone film I thought it was very good. The film is kind of a mix between Iron Man and the Dark Knight. Although there is a strong comedic element to the film there are a fair amount of action moments (Especially towards the end). Kato was probably the best character in the film. He does nearly all of the fighting in the fight scenes and Jay Chou does a good job in them. Seth Rogen plays a pretty good Green Hornet and Christopher Waltz plays a great villain. 

    Good

     
    The Black Beauty looks amazing in the film. Chudnofsky is a great villain. The overall plot is pretty good and the special effects are good. And the jokes were hilarious 90% of the time. 

    Bad 

     
    Cameron Diaz's role is a bit pointless and sometimes the jokes in the film felt a bit out of place. 
     

    Opinion

     
    4.5/5 
     
    Great film, really funny and action packed. A must see!

Having wasted most of his life, Britt relies on the people around hi...

      The Green Hornet by silkcuts on January 18, 2011

      With all the mixed reviews on this movie that us as a community has written I have decided to add my 2 cents.  The short review is that this is a fun movie.  Don't expect your life to change after it, its the Green Hornet.  Go in expecting a fun ride and you'll be happy.  Go in expecting Inception, then that is just expecting Twilight being Stephen King.  *The longer part to the review* I'll be honest with you, I was thinking this movie was going to be bad.  It was actually very enjoyable. There...
