Movie Review : The Green Hornet (2011)


First I really have to say this, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH IT ON 3D! really waste of money. I don't, and I can tell there's no big differens in it anyway so better save your money to buy a popcorn or nachos. For you who didn't know the story yet, you just go to youtube and watch the trailer because after watching it maybe you probably could sum up the story cause yeah pretty much there already. 

For me personally the story is really shallow. It's about a spoiled heir who shock by the death of his father then team up with his late dad's driving who made a great coffee and awesome gadget, but without  heroic reason. Then yada yada yada they fight the bad guy then win. Now the different is they do it in style, with a lot of sillyness, great fighting scenes, cool cars, and Jay Chou. All of that maybe could fill the whole for that lack of thrill in the story.

The actors, yeah let's talk about that. The only name that really got me interest about this movie is Jay Chou. It's his first movie in Hollywood and he even can't talk in english but he could manage it and pretty good accent that he made. He also don't have basic martial art eventhough he's from asia but because he can dance so that really help I think. But it just so cool to see Jay Chou in hollywood and I really wish to see him more rather then "My name is Wein (Rain)". For Seth Rogen this kinda movie is pretty much his area expertise but plus the action and for being silly, he still good at it. The best cameo is from James Franco! love his appearances.

So overall I'm gonna give this movie 3,5 stars out of 5. 0,5 because of James Franco and the other 3 is for Jay Chou acting, their really really cool cars and the sillyness.
