THE GREEN HORNET



Directed by:
Michel Gondry

Nicolas Cage and Ben Affleck is actually laughing now, knowing that there are superhero more lame that the one Nic acted in Ghost Rider and Ben in Daredevil. The lame superheroes are Britt Reid and Kato. Everything about this film is lame, the joke, the action, the dialogue and the linear plot, not to mention 3D converted to rip off decent people is in the category of ultra-lame. Gosh, even Kick-Ass and that lame Clash of the Titans are more entertaining than this one. If you happen to have insomnia and trouble sleeping well, this movie will make you snore to the roof.

It seems that this film is nothing more than just showcase for Seth Rogen's ego since he talk too much here, very annoying. I know he is also the screenwriter and the producer but did he have to put so many words in his character? As for Kato, the choice of Jay Chou is nothing more than a mistake, sure he can sing and very famous in Asia but he still need to learn to speak English in a way people can understand. To add salt to the wound, both of them has no chemistry at all.

The Green Hornet was based on a popular radio series in the 30s and TV series in the 60s the latter catapult Bruce Lee into fame. It's about superhero fighting crime and comedy.

It could be good if only Jay Chou decided to go to the gym to train hard so he can look mesmerizing shirtless. Here, Chou doesn't even take off his clothes and wear see through tights. If he did that at least it is one small effort to redeem the bad quality of this film and make the ladies (and some men) happy. Remember that Korean star Rain who appear shirtless in
Ninja Assassin? Although the film is also suck at least he show some effort by looking muscular and entertain the ladies (and some men too). Do I need to bold the above mentioned sentence?

I don't know why I wrote that, especially the see through pants stuff that can make me vomit, I just think that at least some eye candy stuff can make this film a bit better. I do wish that Emma Stone is in this film, seeing her alone is worthy of admission price, but she's not here and I don't know who or what to blame except to blame the existence of see-through pants.

Cameron Diaz is certainly wasted here, she didn't show herself in a bikini and her character was made to make the guys who watched this film not bored. Sorry but why Cameron Diaz? Does Hollywood is running out of young beautiful girls who take a line at any fast food restaurant to cast? Why her? It's not her best part and she doesn't look comfortable at all.

The director of this mess is Michel Gondry and I think, after the reviews are out he wished he had the memory erasing machine he had from
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to erase any memory he had making and watching this film and perhaps have the generosity to lend it to us.
