No buzzes are necessary for this movie. Seth Rogan is back in his second 3D movie “The Green Hornet.” Based on the original radio, film, and television show, “The Green Hornet” also stars Jay Chou, and Rogen’s former co-stars James Franco and Cameron Diaz.
Britt Reid (Rogen) is the party loving son of a wealthy and mean newspaper publisher (Tom Wilkinson).When his dad dies of a bee sting, Britt meets his coffee maker Kato (Chou), who he starts to hang out with. After cutting off the head of his father’s statue for his “meanness,” Britt and Kato notice a robbery going on. After a spectacular 3D fight, Britt and Kato decide to become heroes. But they decide they would pose as villains to get close to the criminals. The main villain is Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz, “Inglorious Basterds”), who after being insulted by a drug dealer (Franco) hurts anyone who insults him. He still plans to get rid of the “Green Hornet,” Britt’s new identity.
Seth Rogen and Jay Chou are the best action duo since Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. “The Green Hornet” was a 3D blast. The best 3D scenes are when Kato fights criminals and the end credits, which really go out at you. Franco made an awesome cameo, while Waltz made a great villain. However, I did not like Tom Wilkinson’s character, because he was too harsh. Overall, I am fighting four smiley faces.
