    Post The Green Hornet (2011) w/Jay Chou

    Sorry, but the trailer looks pretty insipid. Yet another Hollywood film w/a stupid American lead and an Asian actor wasted on stupid jokes. Sound familiar?

    I love Jay Chou and I'm a fan of his, so I'll be watching "Green Hornet" when it comes out -- matinee only though, because I'm poor. I don't like Seth Rogan. I've only glanced at some of his movies in passing because, for some reason or another, I know people who enjoy his movies. I'll be frank, I don't really watch movies with a critical eye, only purely for pleasure and/or to alleviate boredom. If you remember my taste in movies--gratuitously violent, I rarely watch Superhero comedies, I'm just making an exception for Jay Chou.

    Oh I guess I should mention here that I went to an advanced screening two days ago for the movie. It was consistently funny throughout. There were a lot cool gadgets in the movie and they were all credited to Jay Chou's Kato character. In fact, most of the heroic feats were Kato's lol. He was pretty cool. Seth Rogen was likable enough. I would watch the movie again. It was definitely a sort of bromance film and the two leads had great buddy chemistry.
    I like me.

    I'll watch this just for the Nostalgia since I watch the Bruce Lee version when I was a kid. I admit I watch this for Jay Chou and Kato, like I watched the old version for Bruce Li and Kato.

    I'm shocked that LoveHkFilm gave it a positive. They are usually extremely critical. Then again, the review is not written by Kozo the webmaster who is more critical.

    The movie doesn't take itself seriously, which is part of its appeal. Enjoyable if you want some brainless fun.

    the green hornet was an annoying character to no end. however, kato more than redeemed the movie. i was amazed that i found jay chou charismatic in this role; however, why can't hollywood just find an asian actor who can speak english fluently instead of these big names who struggle with the language?

    Big names = box office.
