Why so many people hate on Green Hornet(2011)?

[blu-mike]

I don't understand all the hate on this movie. whats so bad about it? I liked the little homage to Bruce Lee in it. but I always think about this, If Brandon Lee was still alive he would have made a amazing Kato.

yeah seth rogen was just playing seth rogen

[Visco.]

I liked it even though it wasn't as good as it could have been.

It wasnt paced very well leading to a less effective climax.

I did think it was pretty good and Im glad I own it.

[Foggy]

It was just a bit of a naff film, not very funny and quite poorly paced. It wasn't awful, just a strong meh.

[Kaiju]

I like Seth Rogen as much as the next guy, but he was just terribly mis-cast in that film.

He's not necessarily superhero material.

[Booker Dewitt]

It's a interesting mess, that's why I like it.

Well for one the story sucked they had the Green Lantern spend way too much time on Earth when he should have been on Oa to learn the ropes and whatnot and the villain sucked I could go on but I'm tired

Definitely mis-cast. Definitely not superhero material. It's films like these that make better fan-backed projects; i.e. The Flash, Dr. Strange, Wonder Woman, etc, harder to get off the development table.



Kick Ass was far better, with intentional humor.

I only saw part of it but I think it suffers from the same problem as a lot of older shows suffer from - they can't think of a serious story for the film version so they try and make it into a comedy. Think of 21 Jump Street - doesn't matter if you liked the movie or not, the series was not a comedy like the movie was. I think that is what happened here - they couldn't think of a serious storyline that they felt would work so they put in Seth Rogan and tried to play it as semi-serious which didn't exactly work. Because of things like Star Trek, Hollywood seems to think any old radio/television show can be made into a movie but some of them work best in that episodic format.

John Cho?!? I guess all Asians look the same to you, eh?

seriously?? Out of the HUNDREDS of films that come out in a given year, how many are superhero films? 3? 4? 5? 6?

Im not talking about the number, I'm talking about Box office.

I like the occasional superhero flick (the Original Superman, Hellboy, Spiderman 2, etc.), but i speak for many that are generally baffled as to how these films are considered to be the tentpole/huge must see releases.

Its fine, but fortunately, there are other options.

...and Cameron Diaz. Already not a very good actress, but also about 10 years too old to be a convincing love interest for Seth Rogen.
I don't know why anyone keeps casting her in movies.

[P@t_Mtl]

Not horrible but they change to much of the original traits of the characters for my liking. I was a huge fan of the show has a kid, Britt Reid was a serious newspaper man while with Rogen they turned him into a young, stupid, rich kid with no focus. The TV show look's cheesy today but it never was a comedy, it just was a product of it's time. Today they turn these stories into silly comedies which the original materials were not and that is why I usually don't like many of these movies made from old TV series, I Spy is another example. The Green Hornet would have been a good movie to be made back 15 years ago, into something a bit more solid and serious with George Clooney as Britt Reid and Jet Li as Kato. It would have been a much better movie.
