Green Hornet


(Seriously, he's just the cutest thing ever.)
Director: Michael Gondry

Year: 2011

Length: 1 hr 59 mins (119 minutes)

Staring: Seth Rogan, Jay Chou, Christoph Waltz, Cameron Diaz, Tom Wilkinson, James Franco (who is uncredited and I'm still mad).

Plot: Following the mysterious death of his father, Britt Reid, local party boy and heir to his fathers newspaper and fortune, teams up with the mechanic Kato to become a masked crime fighting team. Sort of.

Review: I don't care what you people, critics or my mum, think, this film is amazeballs. Seriously, though, it really is pure family fun. Its witty, its cute, its stupid, and overall just hilarious. I want to put my foot down and call it laugh-out-loud funny. Plus, Jay Chou is adooooorable and a pronominal actor, a new and young Jet Li maybe? That man is getting on... and still kicking butt. What was I talking about? Oh right, this film.

Seth Rogan even co-wrote this and I am, as a lot of you are too I'm sure, a huge fan of pretty much all of his movies. He's so talented and funny! Its a whole different kind of humour.

I am, as you may have guessed, actually a bit of a nerd, and this film really hit home with me in a whole different way, right in the childhood. It kept so close to the old characters and their kind of personalities, even with Jay Chou playing legend Bruce Lee was so close!

Also, who doesn't love Christoph Waltz as a bad guy? Amiright? Hell yeah I am! I mean, he even just won an Oscar! Whoooo! He's pretty amazeballs in this, too. I mean, to be fair, he kind of MAKES this movie as awesome as it is.

Quotes: 'Kato: You know Shanghai? Britt: Yeah, I love Japan.'
'Britt: I will blow this guy in any proportion I want!'
'Britt: Girls are a drag... I'm so glad we have each other Kato.'
'Chudnofsky: You said I'm boring. My gun has two barrels. That's not boring.'
'Britt: Kato, I want you to take my hand and I want you to come with me on this adventure. Kato: I will go with you, but I don't want to touch you.'
'Chudnofsky: Ha! I'm ungassable!'
Pluuuussss that whole scene at the start with James Franco saying Chudnofsky's name, that shit is HILAIR.

Overall Rating: 5/5
