The Green Hornet 3D - STEEL

My Rating: 4/10

Yeah it was bloody awful.

I didn't really enjoy any of it, thus the low score. Normally i'll watch these films and think they're shit but still enjoy it based on solely how poor a constructed movie it was. However this film didn't even give me that pleasure.

It started off ok a little obvious and cheesy and the action kicked off with a great little fight scene with some great shots of slo-mo action and some really well utilised 3D with shrapnel flying out into view and roundhouse kicks feeling like they might just get you. From here on out it just went extra terrible, the story or lack thereof was just unbelievably stupid. It made absolutely no sense.

The premise was the green hornet played by Seth Rogan doing his usual i'm a guy that's super clumsy thing loses his farther in tragic circumstances, however he despises his farther and as such we kick off the escapades of the green hornet with him and his newly employed friend Kaido going to cut the head of a monument of his farther.

This goes to plan but turns sour when they get involved in a mugging, que the pretty cool fight scene mentioned above. Yet it appears after defeating these people they seem to think the best way to fight crime is to become secret criminals but actually be the good guys at the same time (you what?!).

Yeah it really is that stupid, so you figure ok the plans to infiltrate the evil ranks of crime which they start doing by busting up drug rings whilst pretending to make a bid to take over the city from an evil crime lord. Blah Blah Blah. That's it that's what happens for the remainder of the movie, then you figure it'll all pan out nicely and they'll become some kind of super hero duo!

But... They don't there isn't a slight bit of redemption for these characters and in the end instead of stopping the villain the Batman way (all justice no killing) their plan goes to shit when the hapless green hornet accidentally doesn't record the incriminating evidence to take down the entire crime ring and it's leaders and end up having to just kill the guys responsible by shooting one and ramming the other off the top floor of a building with their super gadgety car which let's face is it isn't an awesome old school mustang it's just some 65'ish american car that ain't no Batmobile!

Oh did i mention this was a comedy? No? That's cause it isn't funny!

Oh and did i also mention the awesome Admiral Adama, Mr Edward James Olmos was in it? No? That's cos he was so underused there wasn't really any point why not get a cheap extra it was hardly worth contracting him!

Something good:

The wicked 3D fight Scene.

Something Bad:

The rest of the film (sorry Seth probably best to let someone else write for you from now on huh)

Better than:

Dark Man

Worse than:

Spider man 3 (and that's rubbish too)

Overall: Don't bother with this one, rent some other rubbish super hero movie like Iron Man 2, Spider man 3 or maybe even just watch one of Joel Schumachers Batman movies anything's probably better than this!

STEEL!
