"THE GREEN HORNET" can take stock in the knowledge that it is based on one of the earliest superheroes (it began in the 1930s as a radio program by George W. Trendle), but as a "long-in-development" feature film, there is virtually nothing to distinguish it, or make it stand out from a crowd of other, more popular, more interesting characters running around fighting crime.

I enjoyed this film a good deal. I know it got beat up a little by critics, but it was entertaining for what i expected from it. It was an action comedy, c'mon it's Seth Rogan, it's near impossible for him to be unfunny. It wasn't a great movie, but it was good. It had just enough comedy and just enough action to keep me happy as a filmgoer.

The first time I saw it, I was like "Meh, not bad" then I forgot about it.
I re-watched it. I think all in all, it's pretty forgettable, but probably shouldn't be completely forgotten. There are some great inventive moments in the way the action sequences are shot from Gondry in a pretty average overall film.

Special effects were cool, acting less so. Start was quite funny, but it all felt a bit stiff.

Depressingly bad. It's juvenile, plain stupid and unnecessarily crude (it's not like I have some incredibly delicate ears, but still). It felt like it was written by a 13-year-old. But worst of all, it commits the cardinal sin for these kind of films - it's simply boring. I kind of like Seth Rogen, but while watching 'The Green Hornet' I had some difficulty remembering why. Also, I'm going to pretend that I didn't even see Christoph Waltz in this mess…

I've never seen an episode of "The Green Hornet" or the previous movie which may have helped by enjoyment of this ridiculous, over the top bit of action comedy.
It's pretty stupid but I found I really enjoyed the goofiness. Plus Christoph Waltz always makes things better.
