Some limited intellect thought building a story on stereotypes would be funny. It might be. This one is not even a story. And the end result is quite tasteless.So you have the white yahoo whom his father never loved, but with a lot of money. Like Batman, Iron Man, and many others. Actually these creative types standing behind the so called great comics are anything but creative, they are some sort of Sandra Brown with a writer's block. And the yahoo likes a girl. She must be tall, but not taller than him, white, blonde and single. Okay. These are the limited tastes of the comics crowd so why not of the yahoo as well? But here the acceptable part ends. The creative guy is an Asian guy who even says he does not speak English well. Only the Asian guy is a servant and remains a servant. The Russian is the criminal overlord with a self esteem problem. And so on.And even the car chase is dull. Never mind this is a story set up back in 1946 when there was no sex outside marriage and there were no police helicopters.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

This is the worst super hero movie ever made. It sucks why was it made a comedy????? Seth Rogen cast as the Green Hornet what a joke. He should stick to comedy no action films for this loser. They ruined a good character with total garbage acting from a complete neophyte. Wouldn't recommend to anyone who can read write and chew gum at the same time. Imagine if Wonder Woman had Mayim Bialik from the big bang theory as the lead and Jim Parsons as Steve Trevor would anyone go see it!!!!!!! I think not. Total waste of your life that you can't ever get back.

It has an interesting idea, a different take on the "masked hero/vigilante" theme. He's rich, but goes into the "hero business" out of boredom, rather than some higher purpose. He is not remarkable in any way, but has some success, mostly by way of his capable sidekick and smart (and very hot) secretary. He does good by doing bad and it kind of works.But, it's not fully realized/developed. His Chineese sidekick is difficult to understand most of the time. Cameron Diaz has a role which is not really explored, at least not to the extent others are. We never get why this smart, hot and capable woman, who is not young any more, wants to be a secretary. Even the jokes about her age don't work out. Cristoph Waltz's characters starts great, but at the end becomes silly and shallow.It is fun, but not very much so and not all the time. It is funny only sometimes - too little, since the the movie is silly, so there is no wisdom on insight to be gained here.It's an OK watch, but it leaves one with a feeling it could have been much more.

(59%) Yes it may rattle along at times, and the timing might be a little off, but this really isn't a bad little comedy/action movie. I'm no Seth Rogen fan but he's at least watchable and clearly trying to do his best, while offering some amusing lines along the way. The direction is solid even during the more frantic parts, and yes the plot is nothing that great or anything new, but it's at the very least coherent and something worth getting invested into. Besides Cameron Diaz's character being largely pointless, and the run time being overly long by about 20 or so minutes, this is consistently entertaining and a decent portion better than I first assumed before watching it.
