Review of The Green Hornet (2011) by Joe M — 05 Feb 2012

Awful, just awful, what a waste of 119 minutes.

This is essentially one (bad) joke repeated to death -- spoilt rich kid becomes a superhero/crime fighter, unaware his employee/sidekick is the one with the superpowers. Seth Rogen in the lead is neither a believable rich kid nor a believable superhero. Jay Chou does a better job as the sidekick, while Christoph Waltz is the least scary villain you've ever seen, and Cameron Diaz serves no purpose at all other than to look good. The humour is crass, the plot paper thin, and even the special effects are not that special. The fact that Rogen was producer probably accounts for nobody pulling the plug on this before release.

Really - don't bother, awful.
