The Green Hornet Reviews

I like Seth, you like Seth. We all like Seth. BADLY miscast, here. And so was the director.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

A pleasingly average superhero movie whose greatest triumph is avoiding disaster.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

This had potential to be something of an action thrill ride, or at least a comedic, campy take on the usual superhero formula, but what we end up with is a directionless, pointless backdrop for blowing things up with some martial arts thrown in for kicks.

A dud, that has a few bright spots.

Full Review | Original Score: C

There are some good ideas here but they're buried under masses of conventional superhero dross and half hearted execution. This is one vigilante who should really just leave all the hard work to the police.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

[It] clocks in at a bloated 118 minutes. There is not, I promise you, 118 minutes worth of vital plot, special effects or comic business in this movie.

Hornet fans across generations will enjoy connecting this modern version to its pop-cultural roots stretching back more than seven decades,

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

A childish film written from a grade school perspective with neither quality nor excitement.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

Derivative of several molds and unable to really take command of any of them.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

Aside from a brief split-screen sequence and a few deft special-effects, there's almost no sizzle to this goofy take on superheroics.

Full Review | Original Score: C-

...an uneven, disastrously overlong piece of work.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Give me loose, idiosyncratic, comic meandering over stone-faced business-as-usual any day. It isn't the movie you're expecting, but it's got its authors' grubby handprints all over it.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

For what problems it does have it is a genuinely different take on this kind of material with a firm focus on action, character and humor. No one else should ever attempt to make a superhero movie quite like this, but for The Green Hornet it works.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10

Seeing this movie in 3-D adds nothing to the experience. The most in-your-face thing about the movie is the crippling insecurity of all the main players, which rendered it painfully difficult to care about them. Waltz is delightful.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Gondry and Rogen walk a fine line between fairly brainless bro-medy and occasionally knowing examination of the superhero genre.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

Um longa que não só desaponta pelo roteiro, mas também (e aí o choque é maior) pela direção nada inspirada de seu realizador.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

With Jäger, it'd probably be a blast.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Part origin story, part spoof, part bromance -- the movie can't decide. It winks at itself constantly, but only to hide its cluelessness.

Full Review

Gondry's biggest success is recognising that superheroes can still be funny, and embracing that in every part of this film.
