Buzz kill

The Green Hornet (2011)

After years of knocking around in development hell The Green Hornet comes to the big screen directed by Michel Gondry and staring Seth Rogen. The son of a news paper owner inherits his father's media empire and decides to become a masked vigilante on the side.

Given the glut of super hero/masked vigilante films of late this film does need something to set it apart from the others and it appears the makers have chosen to take a comedic route. While the film has funny moments it is not especially funny and the plot is rudimentary and unoriginal at best. As something to fill two hours of spare time this film is not bad but it is nothing more than that.

3/5
