I have to admit when I went to into the theatre and while watching the coming attractions, I was preparing myself for a for a bad comic-book moving. I'd avoided reading the reviews, but it's hard to keep from hearing the negative buzz about the movie.
I'm happy to say that Seth Rogen did a good job updating the Green Hornet franchise for the 21st Century. Much of the two-hour running time is spent hammering out the inter-dynamics between Britt, Kato and Lenore, Britt's secretary. Rogen really needed to address this in the screen play since the dated dynamic of intelligent publisher and dependent man servant and secretary established from the 30s radio series doesn't hold up, especially when the publisher is played as a boob that brings little to the table.
However, Rogen manages to include a few hat tips to old 60s television series with Van Williams.
Overall it's a fun flick with a surprisingly high body count for a superhero movie.
