Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) is the son of LA's most prominent and respected media magnate and perfectly happy to maintain a directionless existence on the party scene—until his father (Tom Wilkinson) mysteriously dies, leaving Britt his vast media empire. Striking an unlikely friendship with one of his father's more industrious and inventive employees, Kato (Jay Chou), they see their chance to do something meaningful for the first time in their lives: fight crime. But in order to do this, they decide to become criminals themselves—protecting the law by breaking it, Britt becomes the vigilante The Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets.
Using all his ingenuity and skill, Kato builds the ultimate in advanced retro weaponry, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car equal parts firepower and horsepower. Rolling in a mobile fortress on wheels and striking the bad guys with Kato's clever gadgets, The Green Hornet and Kato quickly start making a name for themselves, and with the help of Britt's new secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), they begin hunting down the man who controls LA's gritty underworld: Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). But Chudnofsky has plans of his own: to swat down The Green Hornet once and for all.
This movie was awesome. I loved how both actors had distinct personalities that made the show fun, entertaining and funny. This is a light-hearted film with neat special effects. A good see.
OMG ... i just wasted 2gigs of my monthly bandwidth to download this piece of #$%@!!!
I've never written a review, but this movie is SOOOO BAD that I cannot comprehend the rating it is getting. I honestly don't see how some people rate this 5 or even 4 stars. Some of the jokes are funny, but the entire movie is based on the main character(seth) being a total ass, to the point of being completely unrealistic ... even for a movie that is obviously not supposed to be realistic. All those who rated this movie a 1 or 2 are completely correct. Those who gave this movie anything better must have been smoking something ... well then again I smoked something and the movie still SUCKED!!!
