This year has seen the release of yet another comic book superhero. The Green Hornet. In mind boggling 3D! Wow!? No. This film lacked something, that unfortunately I am unable to put my finger on. Oh wait.. would it be that comic book 'oumph' that we have seen in Iron Man and The Dark Knight. The green hornet deserves to be left of the shelf alongside Superman Returns and the Fantastic Four. For me, as a fan of all comic book film both Marvel and DC, I just didnt enjoy it. In comparison to the original t.v series of the 60's it was relatively bland.
I am usually a rather big Seth Rogan fan, having loved superbad and pineapple express but he wasn't right for the part of the Green Hornet. It didn't feel right. I found it hard to enjoy myself whilst watching even with the fantastic acting talent of Christoph Waltz. Christoph Waltz, famous for his role in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds alongside Brad Pitt and Eli Roth plays the gangster in this film and as always is sly, evil yet fabulous.
As far as the use of 3D goes, what was the point? It did very little to the overall effect of the film and would have been nice in 2D without the annoying glasses. Why do film makes always feel the need to use 3D?
Poor comic book adventure but by far, not the worst. It is no Dark night but it can't put on the same shelf as The Fantastic 4; Rise of the silver surfer.
My Star Rating:
6/10 *
