The Green Hornet

I wasn't expecting much when I went to see this on Monday. I expected a typical super hero movie. It was not exactly a normal superhero movie. It was what I should have expected in the first place: A Seth Rogan style action film. There were the stupid vulgarities and the characters had no redeeming qualities. The problem is that I actually enjoyed it a bit. It wasn't a great film that I'd watch over and over again but I certainly had fun. The main issue I had with the movie is that the average age of the audience was 10 years old. I do not want to see what our future generations turn out to be if they grow up watching this. They should watch 4kids shows like civilized people.

So the story is a very basic one. This douche is the son of Charles Foster Kane or something. His dad dies of a bee sting because he is a sissy. The douche inherent all his fathers money. He then, though a hissy fit about coffee, meets his father's mechanic. By chance, the mechanic happens to be a super fast ninja who can create military grade vehicles. Both of them feel like their lives were ruined by the father, even though he was the main source of both their incomes. They decide to desecrate the statue of the recently diseased man. Coincidentally, they see a mugging and beat up the petty criminals. Once they tasted blood they decide to go on a crime spree under the guise of being vigilantes. They make a mess and destroy tons of their own property and even getting shot in the process.

Bro, we're totes gonna kill sum peepz 2nite. lolz

I feel like this is how all superheros start out. They're just dicking around in their basement and drunkenly decide to run around in spandex beating the crap out of petty criminals. The one plus side of The Green Hornet is that they actually have cool outfits, opposed brightly colored spandex.

except the masks make them look like the hamburgerler
