My Thoughts:

I tried to get this one watched yesterday... but real life was against me getting through even a single movie yesterday.  So when I woke up so early in the morning (like 3am) I decided I was going to get it watched! When I first found out I was getting this film I asked some friends about it... the ones that seen it didn't have too much good to say about it. Basically hearing it was no more then an average film. So I didn't go into it with too high of expectations. Even with that... I found I agreed. No more then average. I found the story itself to unfold a little slow for my taste. But the storyline was interesting enough to keep me watching. And when it was over I found I still had some questions that I wasn't sure about by watching the film. So afterward I watched the making of documentary to see if I could get some answers... and I did... sort of. Basically it was the filmmaker's point not to answer all the questions... that he wanted the viewers to draw their own opinion of what was being told. So the answer is whatever you believe it to be. Over-all a decent way to waste an hour and a half. One I can see myself watching again. But not one I would watch very frequently.

My Thoughts:

This is a film  been wanting to check out since I first found out it was being made. But this is the first time I got the chance to see it. I never watched the original series this film is based on... or read any comics (was there Green Hornet Comics?)... so I know very little of the mythology of The Green Hornet. But that could work for the better since I have nothing to compare it with I have a better chance of enjoying it... right? After watching it I found there was things I liked and things I didn't like. I thought for the most part it had some great action. And I liked Cameron Diaz as Britt's secretary. As well as thought Kato was just plain cool. As for what I didn't care for.... I didn't like when about to fight the red outline zeroing in on the weapons and people. I felt this took away from my enjoyment some. Then I also thought that most the comedy they tried really didn't work for me either. But over-all I really enjoyed this one... glad I finally got the chance to watch it.
