    Green Hornet (MC: 39, RT: 44%)



    Another case of me not really digging who's playing the protagonist. Looks.. average, plan on seeing it though.

    A jewish green hornet. Kinda feel bad for Christoph Waltz, because this movie is gonna kill his career.

    Wish they had stuck with Stephen Chow for Kato.

    Eh.... this totally looks like a B movie.

    I'll probably watch it but I wont be expecting much more than the popcorn.

    I'm actually impressed by what I see in the trailer.

    Kato is a stronger character in this version, instead of Bruce Lee trying to bring legitimacy to the stereotypied Asian sidekick.

    I think (and I'm probably in the minority here) Seth Rogan has the chops to handle this role, especially if you consider that this will make or break his career as a type-cast pseudo funny guy who is still lovable.

    Movie looks dumb but reminds me of pinaple express for some reason. I never saw the series but was it ever this campy? I was expecting a good action film but this reminds me of the starsky an hutch remake. Seth Rohan is ok, but he is not like will ferral who can keep me entertained with the same character over and over.

    Looks fine, Rogen's usual writing partner (Superbad, Pineapple Express), director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Hans Landa? sign me the fuck up.

    Doesn't look that bad. Christ, people are way too picky. I'll probably end up seeing it, looks fun.

    The skinnier Seth Rogen gets, the less I want to watch him.

    Jay Chou? Really?

    That guy's the Asian version of Keanu Reeves.

    Looks to have a flashy fantastical element to it, kind of in the same vein as the Speed Racer film. I'm expecting major cheese, but it looks potentially entertaining.

    I'll be looking for old Green Hornet episodes after I see this film, lest I judge Rogen's performance too harshly.

    If this is anywhere near as an accurate translation as Speed Racer was I'll be happy. Shit if it is onpar w/ A-Team shits good.

    Wow, I am shocked that nobody else has posted yet. Just got back in from this. It was a very enjoyable experience. Seth Rogen was pretty.. Seth Rogen I guess, but other than that I loved almost every minute of it. There were a few cliches in there, but what can you do? Christopher Waltz and Jay Chou were the definite highlights of the movie, and they both had enough screen time to enjoy. The 3D didn't seem tacked on or cheesy, especially for a converted movie. Hell, this 3D was done better than Tron, and that was filmed in 3D. This is a movie I wouldn't mind seeing again, and one of those movies that's good to see at theaters.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    My husband's company did a lot of the action 3D ^^ They were originally slated to do 10 minutes but sony liked it so much they had them do 30 minutes from the main contractor for a lot of the harder scenes.

    I saw this yesterday and quite enjoyed it. Jay Chou and Christoph Waltz were the best part for sure but Seth Rogen wasn't bad by any means. The only problem I had was I didn't really see the need for Cameron Diaz to be in the movie, I think just a buddy superhero movie would have served just as well. The actions scenes were all pretty good, I saw in 2d because its cheaper and since it wasn't fully shot in 3d I didn't see the need, but I have heard other good things about the 3d so kudos to being able to make it not shit like Clash of the Titans etc.

    Favorite part:

    Spoiler: show

    The scene where they were spreading the word to kill the green hornet and had it split off in one constant shot was awesome. That was really well done and must have taken forever to get perfect even with time stamps.
