Interesting casting choice with Harold and Rogen.

So far I don't really have much desire to see it. Looks worse than Daredevil in fact, but it may be decent.

^ I agree, it has a Daredevil feel to it. A renter for me.

Bruce Lee made The Green Hornet what it was. No one will be able to replace what he did. This movie looks like it's gonna suck.

Re: The Green Hornet (2011)

That....looks like crap.

What a shame too because i've been reading the various Green Hornet comic books out right now and they're quite good while this looks like a real bad attempt to mix comedy with the superhero genre. That can work at times but it's quite hard to do. In this case it looks like these guys failed miserably.

Man, I thought it looked really good. It's an action comedy, and looks to be pulling that off well. And the trailer alone was infinitely better than Daredevil because, well, it didn't have Ben Affleck in it.

Agreed. I wasn't expecting to like it but did. Definitely interested in seeing it now. Obviously no one's gonna replace Bruce Lee as Kato and I couldn't fathom Seth Rogan being cast initially, but I like the approach they seem to be taking.

Re: The Green Hornet (2011)

I think the trailer is making the movie look a lot more serious than it is, but I still want to see it.

Re: The Green Hornet (2011)

I was not feeling Seth as the Green Hornet all, but it might work. They went away for the TV show. In the TV Show The Green Hornet is the main guy behind the scene. In this movie that have Kato as the guy behind the scene. I don't like that. Bruce Lee was the man, but the Green Hornet actor was damn good too. I loved when him and Batman team up.

Re: The Green Hornet (2011)

Must see. Would be cool if Batman made a cameo.

Re: The Green Hornet (2011)

That literally looks 1000000x better than anything from Daredevil, so I really don't get those comparisons. Daredevil was a superhero movie that failed at everything it did. This is an action comedy that looks like it is going to have some funny moments and over-the-top action. I see no way this movie tries to be as "serious" as this trailer made it seem like its trying to be.

I can't wait for it.

Re: The Green Hornet (2011)

Rental? I'm going to see it that I won't even look at the box art!

[Blzer]

Re: The Green Hornet (2011)

I just don't see what some other people here are seeing. Obviously it's just a trailer so I can't quite judge a book by its cover, but I don't see much good in this movie yet. It looks pretty awful, and the only comparison I'm making with Daredevil is that I think one looked better than the other on my first look at them, and Daredevil was a movie I did not like. I'm not saying it looks similar to it.

Re: The Green Hornet (2011)

I've been interested in this for awhile, so maybe I know what to expect from this film (especially with the casting - though I would still rather have Stephen Chow), but I think the trailer does a bad job.

[Thrasha]

Re: The Green Hornet (2011)

I'm kinda over the comic book movie adaptation craze but this looks pretty cool.

I'm not a movie buff, but I thought the casting of Rogen as a action hero was pretty cool/bold, along with the fact that the second lead appears to be a relatively unknown guy. The trailer looks good and will prob have me buying a ticket on opening weekend. This is coming from someone who really had no intention of going to see it when I first heard about it.
