Movie: The Green Hornet

[winter_elf]

Saw 'The Green Hornet' tonight. Interesting in that I liked some parts of the movie and disliked others.

Liked: The action, Kato, the villain, the girl, the supporting characters

Disliked: Seth Rogen :(

Unfortunately, he played Britt Reid as a major A##hole the entire movie. I can sort of see starting OUT that way - but he really didn't learn anything and really, you wanted Kato and the girl to take over.

It was like watching one of those slapstick pratfall type movies turned into an action movie. I'd rather have had an action movie without the slapstick poke-your-eye-out type humor (a la 'Hangover' or 'Bruno').

corvis_corvax and I spent time after the movie discussing actors we'd have rather seen play Britt Reid instead.

We did, however, finally get some new trailers. OMG! PAUL!! I LOVE Simon Pegg's humor movies! This is Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are sci-fi geeks who encounter a slacker alien named PAUL!! Go watch a trailer of it now!

Yea, let me know what you think of it!

Actually, I haven't read the comics or watched the old show either.

corvis_corvax said that she caught a few episodes of the old TV show (they were playing it on marathon) a few weeks ago, she said it actually HELPED her - in that she could see 'oh, they took that, and that, and oh, I know where that nood is', etc.
