sup. nothin. Just saw The Green Hornet, directed by Michel Gondry starring Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Christoph Waltz, and Cameron Diez. The movies about this guy Britt Reid who lives this crazy carefree life, whose dad suddenly dies! After his death Reid decides to team up with his dads mechanic Kato, to pose as villains in order to get closer to the bad guys so that they can take them down!
Being a fan of Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind led me to wanting to see this movie, along with Seth Rogen and Christoph Waltz. Overall I'm sad to say, there were some disappointments. First off, the movies release was sent back because they wanted to convert it to 3-D, so I'm thinking to myself, Whoah! 3-D Cool Man!, butttttt after viewing it in 3-D I would say that was a waste of time and money. There was probably about five 10 second scenes that were cool in 3-D, but other than that, I would have been perfectly happy seeing it in 2-D.
My second complaint is the PG-13 rating, I understand that the people making this movie want to appeal to a large audience, and R rated movies cannot achieve that. But I feel it would have been a lot better if it was rated R. The lack of swears coming out of Seth Rogens mouth seemed odd! and the lack of blood and gore in the fight scenes was a let down.
My third complaint is Christoph Waltz's role. After seeing him for the first time in Inglourious Basterds as the Jew Hunter, I had very high hopes for his future roles. In this movie, he played basically the leader of all the bad shit that goes on in the area. He had short scenes/lines, that didn't really effect me as a viewer. It is possible that I was comparing him to much to the Jew Hunter, but WHATEVA.
Fourth complaint-ish is Cameron Diez. The moment I saw that she was cast for this movie I punched the shit right out of my cat. Although I find her attractive (mmm mama) her acting is unbearable. Luckily her role in this movie wasn't thaaattt big, so I was able to live with it.
There were however, positives to this movie. The editing of the fight scenes were awesome. In the movie Kato has to ability to slow down time when his heart starts racing, so the editing to show his character slowing down time and focusing on everything was very cool. Although it was PG-13 comedy, it was still enjoyable comedy. Seth Rogen can make any role funny, and didn't disappoint in this movie. Also all the cars, weapons and gadgets were awesome. buhhmmmmm yeah.
Overall there were some disappointments, but the positives to this movie were able to override all the negatives, making it still an enjoyable movie to watch!
