Went with YSL and Yap to Mid Valley today to see The Green Hornet. Currently, only 3D of this film is being shown (I wonder why) so we had to watch in 3D.
The story is quite decent. A rich man who owns a newspaper company suddenly dies, leaving all his empire to this playboy son. The son realizes that the person who makes his delicious coffee is also a genius mechanic who has good fighting skills and can slow down time. He quickly teams up with him and that formed The Green Hornet with his sidekick Kato.
The Green Hornet's acting is great as the stupid, kinda useless hero. On the other hand, Kato's character leaves me wondering if other actors can play it better. Jay Chou and Kato's character does gel, though not very well. After all, Kato is a much better hero to be dreaming of becoming but the movie doesn't really produce that effect.
The movie's fighting scenes isn't all that great (because of Kato's power) which makes the comical parts of the movie much more enjoyable. It isn't very realistic either with Kato's power and the almost indestructible car. Somehow, this movie doesn't really feel impressive. Maybe it's because there are better superhero movies that are cooler and funnier than this.
Overall, it is a decent movie. I feel that 3D isn't really worth the price for this movie (and it felt uncomfortable on my glasses too). It might be a fun movie to watch but it doesn't grow on you or get you wishing you were the super heroes. Except for the supertanker car though. Who wouldn't want it?
