Critics Consensus
It's sporadically entertaining, but The Green Hornet never approaches the surreal heights suggested by a Michel Gondry/Seth Rogen collaboration.
Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B- Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Leah Rozen TheWrap [It] clocks in at a bloated 118 minutes. There is not, I promise you, 118 minutes worth of vital plot, special effects or comic business in this movie. Oct 7, 2011 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Aside from a brief split-screen sequence and a few deft special-effects, there's almost no sizzle to this goofy take on superheroics. Rated: C- Jun 1, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Gondry’s film is a postmodern blast […] and well worth the wait for fans of the source material. Rated: 3/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Not as horrible as I thought it would be. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 9, 2022 Full Review James McMahon NME (New Musical Express) What The Green Hornet does better than all these films is making superheroes uncool - and there's nothing that's even a bit super about that... Rated: 2/5 May 25, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
emilly r I honestly loved this Movie and I don’t know why people don’t like it. It has has a lot of action and is hilarious. Wish they continued to make the 2nd film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Georgan G The main characters were ok, but the plot is nearly all action & very little comedy. Didn't turn it off, however. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Dark K I'm all for reboots/remakes but anything with Seth rogen I can't recommend all he does is play same characters all time idiotic drug and drunken fool this is slap make fun of green hornet characters parody disrespectful movie if Seth rogen didn't do stupid stuff act more serious I would have like it more as green hornet fan I can not recommend it to any one Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Christine S I watched the whole movie because I kept thinking it would get better. It never did. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Gareth v I never thought a Gondry project could be such a bore, but this movie proves it is possible. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review J B It's funny- others may criticize it, but its hilarious and action packed. Who cares if its a bit stupid. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis Britt Reid (Seth Rogen), the heir to the largest newspaper fortune in Los Angeles, is a spoiled playboy who has been, thus far, happy to lead an aimless life. After his father (Tom Wilkinson) dies, Britt meets Kato (Jay Chou), a resourceful company employee. Realizing that they have the talent and resources to make something of their lives, Britt and Kato join forces as costumed crime-fighters to bring down the city's most-powerful criminal, Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz).
