Quick poll. Who is seeing the Green Hornet in theaters this weekend?
I am a die-hard Green Hornet fan from waaay back, in multiple media.
I have reservations about the film, but conceding my statements above, I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't give the film a chance.
Heck, if I could sit through Dark Knight and hear that turgid mess lauded here far and wide as the Best. Thing. Ever.--then I can give this modest GH movie a chance--it looks fun.
And if it's fun but not too funny, I'll be pleased.
WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.
NO FLIPPING WAY!!!! Not in the theatre, not on cable, not rental, NOTHING! This movie doesn't deserve my time. Just Van Williams and the radio drama.

Wurd up Scott.....I sat through mumbling Batman I think I can handle Seth.....who i actually like. Plus teens and kids don't have a clue who the Green Hornet is.....
I think its going to be a fun movie. I have no idea if its faithful to the original or not. I know little to nothing about the original. I think I might see it in Imax on Sunday morning or I might go see it before my shift Friday afternoon.
Of course I know that Rogan has this rep as a goofy stoner, but I respect that he cared enough to physically change his image for this film.
The film's MO--of a spoiled, disaffected playboy who is inspired to "rise above" is realistic & plausible for Rogan. Modern viewers will likely see this as a Batman riff, but from what I can tell, the film seems pretty failthful to the source material.

He'll be eternally young in reruns, and bootleg videos and DVDs.
