FLYmeatwad Putting the 'Origin' in Original: Thoughts on The Green Hornet

 I had a chance to catch an advanced 3-D screening of Michel Gondry’s latest film, The Green Hornet, last night, so I am taking a bit of a break from my 2010 coverage to venture in to the present. Never early enough to get a jump on the current year, ...

Shrevey3 Quick and simple:Take my word for it

 OverviewThe Green Hornet doesn't suck. If you buy a ticket for this movie you will not hate yourself afterward. You will laugh at the scenes filled to the brim with Seth Rogen well...being Seth Rogen and you will enjoy some of the over to top action.   Characters (writing)/StoryWhat faults this ...

freeteafilm Rogenomics

Considering the fact that actor Seth Rogen and screenwriter Evan Goldberg, both of whom were involved in writing the film Superbad, are also the men behind The Green Hornet isn’t surprising. Rogen’s history of playing oddballs, degenerates, slackers, and stoners seems right for this movie at first glance, but when ...

Matiss The Green Hornet is Kato's film, but it's very entertaining

  The Green Hornet is an action comedy based on the character created in the 1930s by George W. Trendle, and it's a surprisingly entertaining movie. Michel Gondry is a very interesting director - he's made a genius, outstanding film - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and some good-to-average ...

kariyanine Film Review: The Green Hornet

When I originally heard that “The Green Hornet” was going to be adapted for today's superhero crazed audiences I was somewhat skeptical but because Kevin Smith was attached to write and direct it, I had a lot of hope. That was 2004. Since then, Smith left the project and numerous ...

Emandudeguyperson Movies like this need to stop coming out at this point

I WILL admit that I came into this movie with the simple pre-concieved notion that the Screened staff and Roger Ebert didn't like it, but this film's level of dissapointment is actually a lot deeper than that.  Green Hornet is based on the comic and TV show from the 50s ...

ImperiousRix What IS it?

 The new Green Hornet film is quite similar to the Frankenstein monster.  Apart from the green motif that both possess, the two share a similar haphazard and patch-worked design.  Where the poor creature in Mary Shelley's famous novel was sewn together with the dead remnants of human corpses, The Green ...

Silkcuts The Kato Show (How did I manage to get this title writing 5th?)

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 ...

Moviemaniac An entertainming film, if not accurate

The Green Hornet (2011) directed by Michel Gondry, written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, starring Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Christoph Waltz and Cameron Diaz. I thought this was a somewhat entertaining film if not funny. I liked some of the acting, although Chudnofsy was kinda a stupid villain (Even ...

TravisCowan More Goldberg than Gondry

After being shelved for nearly a year by Columbia Pictures, the superhero brainchild of Seth Rogen and Michel Gondry has been birthed upon the world. In "The Green Hornet," Seth Rogen plays Britt Reed, slacker playboy and heir to his father's prestigious newspaper. But after his father, played by Tom ...

MrWright An entertaining but ultimately average movie.

I have heard mixed things about the Green Hornet from friends, one liked it while another did not not. After watching it I come down in the middle and say it is entertaining but average. Going in all I knew about the character was that it had once been  TV ...

StrongProtector Green Hornet Lacks Sting

Based off the classic radio drama, 60s TV show, and 70 years of comic book iterations, the Green Hornet movie looks to bring this classic character to a new generation of fans. Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) is living a life of debauchery at his father’s expense, a well-respected newsman and ...

SnowyMountain Green with Envy

This is another movie that received a fairly poor rating so I was pleasantly surprised when I actually bothered to see it on DVD. I'm only vaguely familiar with the Green Hornet, mainly because of Bruce Lee but I found myself actually liking it. It's not like traditional superhero films.Seth ...

Everyones_A_Critic It's a Completely Acceptable, if Not Shallow, Action Comedy

A short-lived comic series and radio program from the 1930′s and ’50′s seems like an odd basis for a film in 2011, and yet here we are with The Green Hornet, a Seth Rogen vehicle presented to us in conversion 3-D (meaning the film was shot in 2-D and converted ...
