The Green Hornet

 

 

This weekend, ComicsAlliance sent me to go see The Green Hornet, and shockingly, I thought it was great. Admittedly, that’s not saying much since I inevitably have to compare it to the last two movies ComicsAlliance sent me to see, Marmaduke and Jonah Hex, but really, it’s great.

So great that I wrote a couple thousand words on how much I liked it — and a few parts I was a little iffy on, including my reaction to the first 3D movie I’ve seen in 8 years — for your reading pleasure. Be warned, though: there are total spoilers in there, and if you’re planning on seeing it, you might want to be as surprised as I was. Or maybe not!

Either way, the short version is that I thought it was a hoot. Enjoy!

  1. Thought it had a BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA vibe, what with the “Doofus Hero and Supercompetent Sidekick” thing going on.

  2. Although I knew they weren’t going to resurrect Bruce Lee or bring Van Williams out of retirement, I did expected them to make a movie at least marginally related to, you know, the TV show they’re trying to cash in on. If they were aiming to lampoon the show like this, they might as well have created pastiche lookalikes, put Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer in charge and be done with it.
