I went to see this at the cinema randomly when there was nothing else on. To be honest I hadn't seen the trailer and had no idea what it was about. I also wasn't expecting much from it as I hadn't heard much about it in the media. The film is directed by Michel Gondry and it based on the original Green Hornet radio show from the 30's. It was released in 2011 and is now available on DVD. I watched it at the cinema when it first came out but have since bought it on DVD for £10. It is probably cheaper than this now though. **Plot** The film tells the story of a millionaires son whos father dies after an allergic reaction to a bee sting. The ...  Read the complete review

Despite the fact that I find superhero and comic book movies incredibly hit or miss I still seem to persist in watching a wide range of titles. After the recent success of Iron Man 2 and Captain America I found myself settling down in front of the TV during the week to watch Seth Rogan take the lead role in The Green Hornet. It's not a comic book I'm familiar with and as such I had no idea about what the storyline would be or whether I'd even enjoy it, but thanks to Lovefilm I was able to find out. Rise Of The Hornets Growing up with a millionaire father has its downsides, but Britt Reid seems determined to celebrate the upsides and live the life ...  Read the complete review

Have you heard the buzz? There's a new superhero in town. Will it have crowds swarming to the cinema? And, having handed over £10+ to watch it, will it leave them feeling stung? It's time to bee-hive, stop with the rubbish stinging insect jokes and review Seth Rogen's Green Hornet. The film follows the adventures of Britt Reid, playboy and heir to a newspaper fortune and his sidekick Kato. Despite being a bit, well, rubbish, young Britt decides to make a difference, fighting crime and taking on local kingpin Chudnofsky. Despite trying to introduce something a bit different, Green Hornet treads a well worn path for a comic book conversion, covering ...  Read the complete review

*** Film only review *** The story begins when useless playboy Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) suddenly inherits his father's newspaper, The Sentinel, following his untimely death. At first, Reid is content to let his employees run the paper while he continues his hedonistic lifestyle, until his morning cup of coffee fails to please. Discovering his fired mechanic, Kato, is also the coffee maker, Reid spends time with him.

The Green Hornet is a masked crime fighter who first appeared in a 1930s radio show. Most people familiar with the character however recognise him from the sixties TV programme which featured the legendary Bruce Lee as Hornet's right hand man Kato. Supposedly the Green Hornet is a distant relative of the Lone Ranger... I guess having a minority as your side kick runs in the family. I've been watching a lot of super hero movies lately so I decided to give this one a go, especially as it brought something new to the table. Unlike other hero themed flicks the Green Hornet concentrates on comedy over action. Will the decision to go with laughs pay off? Let us find ...  Read the complete review
