OK first off, this has to be the WORST superhero film I ever watched. I was a die hard fan of the series when it was shown in re runs recently. Van Williams was great as Britt Reid/The Green Hornet. And Bruce Lee was incredible as Kato.
Where to begin with my criticism of this film: First off, I cringed each time I saw Seth Rogan as Britt Reid as I found him to me dull, boring and lifeless. He did not give any emotion into portraying Britt Reid. There was no passion in the delivery of his lines and I felt he could of done A LOT better. I find him to be a very LOUSY actor and will avoid ANY of his films in the future.
Secondly, the casting was just lousy to begin with. Casting Cameron Diaz was a huge mistake to play Lenore Case, she is ugly, old and just cannot act well. Edward James Olmos deserved better than to play this role I kept feeling sorry for him after all the great roles he has done over the past few years. I turned off this film halfway through it because I thought it was bad.
The only good thing about this film (if u can call it that) was the actor Jay Chou who played Kato, he was good...not great but good.
Thirdly, I found the plot to be somewhat lame, I can understand the need for a villain, but come on...surely they could do better than that...
And last but not certainly least, the script was an insult to the memories of the original actors who played the roles in the TV series. I feel sorry for Van Williams being the sole surviving member of the cast, if he had to watch this film I would of walked out of the theatre in disgust it was so bad.
All in all, a worthless film. I swear I heard Bruce Lee churning over in his grave over this film it was that bad. It deserves every Razzie nomination it gets.
