The Green Hornet
SCORE: 53
I wish Hollywood could stay true to the roots of things when they reboot them. They butcher franchises in some of the worst ways. The Green Hornet is the latest example. Hollywood has completely killed it off in its reboot. The hero is shown as a bumbling, sexist pig who can’t do anything for himself. His trusted side kick Kato is the one who does everything, and is completely charming with the ladies. The Green Hornet tries to be funny but fails most of the time. The two heroes fighting it out is the only scene I found to be funny. And that is because others around me were laughing.
The Green Hornet is stuffed with violence. The Green Hornet and Kato are vigilantes. They murder bad guys. They do have non lethal weapons, but that does not always help. The level of violence in The Green Hornet is shocking. Most of the violence is there just to keep the movie going. The closest movie I can think of is The Punisher. I have to ask why this movie was not rated ‘R’ for Restricted. The content is definitely in that realm.
Another reason The Green Hornet should be rated ‘R’ is the continual bad language. These characters talk worse than sailors. Over and over again they swear. The Green Hornet is worse than most rap songs. It is like The Green Hornet is trying to be offensive on purpose.
The Green Hornet contains a gag reel, commentary, feature on The Black Beauty (their car), and writing The Green Hornet. This is a movie I will not ever rewatch. In fact I plan on selling it. I bought it, so I can turn around and sell it. I don’t want to ever see The Green Hornet again.
It was a real chore to watch The Green Hornet. At first I was very interested in seeing what this movie was about. It got bad in the beginning and stayed there and until it finally ended. The characters in The Green Hornet are just dumb. Their roles make little to no sense. Its like the writers were trying to apologize for how the franchise was done in the past. There are inside jokes in The Green Hornet, but each of them turned into awkward moments.
Trust
me, and avoid The Green Hornet. I wish I had never seen this film. It is
that bad. As a comedy it falls flat. As an action film it makes no
sense. The main bad guy is not scary, and he obsesses over it. The Green
Hornet is portrayed as a complete idiot. I kept expecting him to get
caught and killed. The love interest hates him, and can seriously damage
him. His side kick Kato is the strongest character, but he has his major
flaws as well. The Green Hornet is two hours I will never get back.
