"The Green Hornet" is an action-comedy film, about a young millionaire heir Britt Reid who, following the death of his father teams up with his late dad's assistant Kato to become a masked crime fighting team.
Cast wise, Good choice except for Cameron Diaz. Seth Rogen is infallible as the young party-loving millionaire who became a masked vigilant adamant on justice, whatever be the price. His acting, expression and assent are very good. Jay Chou is good as his unnamed sidekick. The shining star is Christoph Waltz, who is exceptional in his bad-man role. His performance is reminiscent of his equally brilliant act in "Inglourious Basterds". The exception is Cameron Diaz,who looks very old and totally out-of-place for the role. It was a pathetic casting choice. Not to forget the brilliant cameo of James Franco.
The strength of "The Green Hornet" is its stylish Direction, good Action sequences(specially the Car Scene), and Christoph Waltz. The drawbacks will be Cameron Diaz casting and less emphasis on character growth.
Overall, "The Green Hornet" is a good movie. Barring Cameron Diaz, it's a very enjoyable watch. It's a great tonic for multi genre fans.
My Verdict: 7/10
