Green Hornet with tude, reviewed…
Well the trailer is out and up, and it looks good so far to me. I know there will be purist out there that will scoff and boycott and what not, but personally, I think if they are going to do this one, it needs a face lift. The trailer looks great. Wish Bruce Lee was still around to see this.
They got the look and back story right, hero pretending to be a villain to get into the darker seeder side of criminal life and take them out from the inside. Kato looks right on the money. The hidden lair is updated but still pretty close to what I recall from the old shows and comic strips I saw.
They may go a little overboard with the comedy, thats the only part scaring me right now. Being both a superhero and television buff from way back in the day, it irks me when folks make drastic unnecessary changes to the story characters and world just to throw a twist on something. Updating it for the new era, cool. Adding a new gimmick or two, great. But if they turn this into another spoof like they did the Charley’s Angels movies… they’ll lose my interest fast.
It looks good. Rogan lost the necessary weight and I’m not sure how much comedy they want to push in this adventure. Any serious adventure movie can have decent comedy especially if the hero doesn’t really know what he is doing, but if they over do it then you have the rediculous spoof like the aforementioned angel’s.
I miss your posts! I just discover this and then you never post. Oh Woe.
