Sinopsis(1)
Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) es el hijo del magnate de los medios de comunicación más prominente y respetado de Los Ángeles y está encantado de llevar una inútil existencia de fiestero hasta que su padre, (Tom Wilkinson) muere misteriosamente, dejando a Britt al mando de su vasto imperio de medios de comunicación. Britt entabla una improbable amistad con Kato (Jay Chou), uno de los empleados más aplicados e ingeniosos de su padre, y juntos descubren la oportunidad por primera vez en sus vidas de hacer algo que tenga propósito: luchar contra el crimen. Para acercarse a los criminales, crean la tapadera perfecta: posarán como criminales. Protegen la ley quebrantándola, y así Britt se convierte en el vigilante The Green Hornet y con su amigo Kato salen a proteger las calles. Empleando todo su ingenio y capacidad, Kato construye el arma retro más avanzada: Black Beauty, un coche indestructible con capacidad de disparo y caballos de potencia a partes iguales. Circulando en una fortaleza móvil sobre ruedas y atacando a los malos con los hábiles artilugios de su compañero, los nombres de Green Hornet y Kato comienzan a estar en boca de todos y con la ayuda de Lenore Case, la nueva secretaria de Britt , emprenden la búsqueda del hombre que controla los bajos fondos de Los Ángeles: Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). Pero Chudnofsky tiene su propio plan: aplastar al Green Hornet de una vez y por todas. (Sony Pictures Esp.)

Una película que no tiene nada que ver conmigo, cuyo humor es para mí pura mierda, y cuyos personajes me parecieron ser una broma de mal gusto. Gondry y yo simplemente no nos entendemos. ¡Pero me tomaría el café de Kato!

Yup, the hillbilly rhetoric and horny teenager humor are more or less Rogen's trademark, which is certainly not a complaint by me. However, the script full of infantile humor is tamed by Gondry in the end. He put the perfect stamp of exaggeration on it and turned all that instantaneous crap into a perfect hit, which pleases especially during the action, when playfulness, original ideas, and wit are combined. No, this wasn't supposed to be the second Kick-Ass, but it definitely is the third Iron Man.

Funny, quite solid action and an imaginative change of the superhero scheme. The heroes of The Green Hornet do not rely on the power of the mask and try to handle the symbolic power through a controlled newspaper - the result is extremely refreshing. Though transparent in places, The Green Hornet turns into a very exciting and epicurean spectacle thanks to a few twists and an inevitable sense of trouble behind an otherwise teenage ride. Add to that Gondry's poetic inserts, the excellent Waltz (the guy waltzes again!), a fresh heroic duo and a pleasant tribute to The Pink Panther, we soon have a candidate for this year's best blockbuster. Minuses: unnecessary 3D that looks like a children’s concertina book, and also that The Green Hornet does not have a completely balanced pace. That's why it loses half a star from me compared to last year’s Kick-ass.

For me, a massively pleasant surprise. Green Hornet was a lot of fun, both with the straightforward jokes and with the way it mocks itself (when the villain puts on a red robe and a gas mask is just hilarious… though not everyone will share that opinion) and other films in the genre (the ending similar to the fateful conclusion of The Dark Night). Gondry made it incredibly brisk and playful, like the fooling around of boys unbound by ethics. And the reflection on how the media manipulates with public opinion is not as cheap as you would expect from a comic-book film. I watched it in 2D, I don’t think the 3D version could be any better.

I've been feeling lately that I’m giving harsher reviews. I guess it's because I've gotten a whiff of South Korean filmmaking. It's set the bar pretty high. But to the rating… I like the duo of Rogen and Chou, but it hasn’t got enough action for and action film and not funny enough for a comedy. Cameron Diaz played a completely unnecessary role. I guess this was just a name to catch moviegoers at the movies. The ending was pretty much a big "humbug", so 3.5 stars.
