Britt Reid é o filho do magnata dos média mais proeminente de LA e sente-se perfeitamente feliz mantendo uma existência sem direção na cena das farras - até o pai morrer misteriosamente, deixando a Britt o seu vasto império de média. Criando uma amizade improvável com um dos funcionários mais trabalhadores e inventivos do pai, Kato, veem a oportunidade de fazerem algo significativo pela primeira vez nas suas vidas: combater o crime. Para se chegarem aos criminosos, arranjam o disfarce perfeito: fingirão serem eles próprios criminosos.
Protegendo a lei quebrando-a, Britt torna-se o vigilante The Green Hornet com ele e Kato a irem para as ruas. Usando todo o seu engenho e perícia, Kato constrói o máximo em armamento retro avançado, Black Beauty, um carro indestrutível que é potência de fogo e potência de cavalos em partes iguais. Rolando numa fortaleza móvel sobre rodas e atacando os maus com as engenhocas geringonças de Kato, o Green Hornet e Kato começam rapidamente a criar nome e com a ajuda da nova secretária de Britt, Lenore Case, iniciam a caça ao homem que controla o rude submundo de LA: Benjamin Chudnofsky. Mas Chudnofsky tem os seus próprios planos: abater o Green Hornet de uma vez por todas.

Um filme que não «comunica» comigo, cujo humor é puro wtf para mim, e cujos personagens me pareciam ser uma piada de mau gosto. Gondry e eu simplesmente não clicamos. Mas eu teria provado aquele café de Kato!

Yup, the hillbilly rhetoric and horny teenager humor are more or less Rogen's trademark, which is certainly not a complaint by me. However, the script full of infantile humor is tamed by Gondry in the end. He put the perfect stamp of exaggeration on it and turned all that instantaneous crap into a perfect hit, which pleases especially during the action, when playfulness, original ideas, and wit are combined. No, this wasn't supposed to be the second Kick-Ass, but it definitely is the third Iron Man.

Funny, quite solid action and an imaginative change of the superhero scheme. The heroes of The Green Hornet do not rely on the power of the mask and try to handle the symbolic power through a controlled newspaper - the result is extremely refreshing. Though transparent in places, The Green Hornet turns into a very exciting and epicurean spectacle thanks to a few twists and an inevitable sense of trouble behind an otherwise teenage ride. Add to that Gondry's poetic inserts, the excellent Waltz (the guy waltzes again!), a fresh heroic duo and a pleasant tribute to The Pink Panther, we soon have a candidate for this year's best blockbuster. Minuses: unnecessary 3D that looks like a children’s concertina book, and also that The Green Hornet does not have a completely balanced pace. That's why it loses half a star from me compared to last year’s Kick-ass.

For me, a massively pleasant surprise. Green Hornet was a lot of fun, both with the straightforward jokes and with the way it mocks itself (when the villain puts on a red robe and a gas mask is just hilarious… though not everyone will share that opinion) and other films in the genre (the ending similar to the fateful conclusion of The Dark Night). Gondry made it incredibly brisk and playful, like the fooling around of boys unbound by ethics. And the reflection on how the media manipulates with public opinion is not as cheap as you would expect from a comic-book film. I watched it in 2D, I don’t think the 3D version could be any better.

I've been feeling lately that I’m giving harsher reviews. I guess it's because I've gotten a whiff of South Korean filmmaking. It's set the bar pretty high. But to the rating… I like the duo of Rogen and Chou, but it hasn’t got enough action for and action film and not funny enough for a comedy. Cameron Diaz played a completely unnecessary role. I guess this was just a name to catch moviegoers at the movies. The ending was pretty much a big "humbug", so 3.5 stars.
