Why this movie?

Ive seen this video 3 days ago in the theatre pathe schouwburgplein and i still

remember a lot of the plot. I went to the film because I have seen a trailer on

YouTube and that immediately showed that this film was kickass. There are 2

versions of the movie the 3D version and IMAX 3D I went to the IMAX 3D version. Ifound the film very entertaining to watch, theres a lot of action and comedy in it and

the quality of the film was very good (IMAX) . And I love watching superhero movies.

Also one of the main characters is Chinese and Im Chinese myself so its funny to see

a Chinese actor starring in an American movie.

On the left you see Kato, he is dressed

as the sidekick of The Green Hornet

Dressed in Black.

On the right you see The Green Hornet

dressed in green of course.

The film location was in Hollywood, LA.

The story is told in a chronological order.

The scene that stick the most to me was

the last action scene. Where kato and britt hurried to the newspaper office to upload

a file that will stop all the crime in Los Angeles. And the whole mafia was chasing

them and gun fire here and there. It was just too much to explain. You could say

that a big part of the movie was action but also comedy played a huge role in it. I

had laughed several times when I was watching the film.

Review by: Katy richsource:http://www.cinemablend.com/

The Green Hornet is the combination of a lot of things we never expected or

necessarily wanted to see working together-- the writers of Superbad, the director

of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the star of Knocked Up, and a second-tier

comic book property known primarily for bringing Bruce Lee to American television.

It's still unclear why exactly we need The Green Hornet again, especially in this era

of superhero overload, but the movie The Green Hornet, shaggy and inconsistent asit is, makes a pretty good argument for its own existence all the same.

I saw The Green Hornet at an advance screening earlier this week, and I'm not

allowed to tell you too much about it, though to get into specific details would

require untangling the movie's messy script, an effort that's not really worth it. I'll tell

you that the audience I saw it with-- mostly regular people, a handful of critics --

were with it the whole time, laughing consistently and engaging in all of the action

scenes in exactly the way they were meant to. It's not a hard movie to get on board

with-- after some strained exposition scenes establishing the character of spoiled rich

boy Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) and his newspaper magnate father (Tom Wilkinson) he's

grown up resenting, we jump into the now -familiar origin story of a man compelled

to do good in the world by donning an outfit, picking up some cool weapons, and

kicking bad guy ass.

Screenwriters Rogen and Evan Goldberg proved with both Superbad and Pineapple

Express that they've got a knack for writing funny, tender friendships between men,

and they've done it again in all the scenes between Britt and Kato (Jay Chou), the

mechanics whiz and martial arts expert Britt adopts as a sidekick. Chou acquits

himself remarkably well in his first English-language role, and Rogen's natural

likability shines through with Britt, a character who never quits figure out how to

stop being so selfish even when he's ostensibly out fighting crime. Like any good

Rogen and Goldberg movie The Green Hornet is best viewed as a platonic buddy

romance, and the scenes between Britt and Kato as they play with their high -tech

toys or even deal with their own issues of jealousy are the best parts of the film by

far.

The problem with the movie is in the writing about everything else, particularly the

big evil bad guy plot that drives the second half of the film. Christoph Waltz, in his

first role since the iconic Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds, shows glimpses of

comedic skill from time to time, but the character is generally too underwritten and

underutilized to make much impact. And Cameron Diaz, playing Britt's secretary and

totally the brains behind the Green Hornet operation, is sparky and pretty but

underused as well.

The good news is that Michel Gondry, coming off the underperforming but tender Be

Kind Rewind, acquits himself quite well as an action director, and tosses in some

trademark moments of whimsy and imagination that do a lot to augment the slack

script. The story, for all its moments of inconsistent logic and tired cliches, is swift

and economical, and Gondry directs with a practical eye that still leaves a little room

for more inventive moments. Best of all, the comedic energy rarely flags, with

Gondry trusting his actors to build their own rapport together but also hitting thebeats of the jokes just right. It's not the funniest movie you'll see or the best action

movie, but the hybrid works well for the most part. Even when the script feels shaky

or certain emotions or plot developments unearned, the movie stays entertaining.

It was smart of Sony to hold The Green Hornet until January, a release window when

there's rarely anything worth seeing out there, and when a movie that's as

misshapen but endearing as The Green Hornet should be able to do well. Though I

wish it were a better movie, and especially that Rogen and Goldberg had brought in

someone with a better sense of action pacing to write the script, I'm rooting for The

Green Hornet on behalf of everyone involved. It's not that this is their best work, but

they all deserve a hit, and in it stronger moments the movie reminds us of why we

liked all of these guys so much to begin with.

5/5

The film is made for amusement purpose only that by the plot isnt that good. But

that doesnt mean that this movie is not worth watching. The quality is great but I

feel kinda scammed of the 3D part. I find the 3D not as realistic/amusing as in other

movies. I did had high expectations for this movie but overall I still enjoyed watching

it. So I rate this movie a 6 out of 10, if you like comedy and action this is a movie

definitely worth watching.
