This Hornet has no sting.

Every week I am going to be picking a random movie to review; whatever peaks my interest.  As a child, I grew up loving superhero movies.  One of my first movie experiences was watching "Superman" with my mother.  I remember wishing I was Superman and I even tried jumping off tall buildings thinking I could fly.  Even as an adult, superhero movies bring out the childlike nature within me.  I can recall watching the original "The Green Hornet" with Bruce Lee.  It wasn't a great show, but it had superheroes and Bruce Lee, which was good enough for me.  I thought to myself, "Let's give this movie a chance!"  I paid my hard earned money, so I went to the cheapest theater I could find and payed $2.50.  http://www.cinemark.com/theatre-detail.aspx?node_id=1477 

After watching the movie, I would have paid $2.50 to have not seen it.  What can I say about the movie?  Well, besides the fact it had no story, no plot, zero character development, it was one endless action sequence after another which were pointless.  The  main character played by Seth Rogen was so annoying and unrelatable that about half way through the movie, I was hoping that one of the villains would take him out.  It is pretty sad when watching a superhero movie and I find myself rooting for the bad guys to win.  All in all, avoid "The Green Hornet" at all costs.  It is not even worth a $1.00 rental.  Stick to the original series.  See you next week.  http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thegreenhornet/site/
