Review of The Green Hornet (2011) by Nick O — 08 Aug 2012
Call it the new "MacGruber". Michel Gondry's "The Green Hornet" has every making of take-it-or-leave-it, from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's stoner screenplay (but all parts two-dimensional) to its basic cynicism in the execution of vigilante perks.
Me, I choose to take it as it comes. It asks you to buy into a lot, and the potential of freakin' Christoph Waltz as heroin kingpin Chudnofsky is unfortunately wasted. "The Green Hornet" isn't bad, it's just a let-down given the talent involved and the idea at hand.
Still, dumb fun (emphasis on the "dumb) to such a point that, like "MacGruber", it's simply incredible.
