I didn't mind it half as much as you seem to have.<br /><br />BRENT - Rogen is an acquired taste. I have not acquired him yet. But I could still find a little bit of love for this.<br /><br />desertofreel - Completely agree on the Gondry point; it was very obviously 'directed' by Rogen, why you need Gondry when that was the case is beyond me. More than completely agree on your final point; it has promise as something more and it settles for ordinary.Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-67025680832745514192011-09-09T08:23:40.485+01:002011-09-09T08:23:40.485+01:00Don't have much to add, I enjoyed The Green Ho...Don't have much to add, I enjoyed The Green Hornet but at the same time its a slave to convention and could have done with a larger injection of Gondry's style (his appointment baffles me, why have him if you're not going to use him to his strengths?)<br /><br />If I compare it to a superhero film, i think it takes a few more risks than usual (unlikable protagonist, heroes in it for selfish gain) but doesn't follow through on its promiseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-89968627635834659172011-09-09T03:21:39.315+01:002011-09-09T03:21:39.315+01:00I was not impressed with this at all.

The thing is I really wanted to like this but Rogen stuffed it up by playing the complete dickhead.<br /> One of the years poorest movies for me.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-46290289646463183562011-09-09T03:12:57.627+01:002011-09-09T03:12:57.627+01:00Apart from Jay Chou’s great acting, this movie was...Apart from Jay Chou’s great acting, this movie was a total disaster. Poor acting, poor storyline and a poor re-imagining of the Green Hornet whose character has worsen from suave to ridiculous.DTG Reviewshttp://www.dtgre.comnoreply@blogger.com
