The Green Hornet 3D
The ingeniously creative French director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Science of Sleep, Be Kind Rewind) turns his hand to the superhero genre with this big screen adaptation of a 1930s radio serial.
Seth Rogen (who co-wrote the script with Evan Goldberg - Superbad, Pineapple Express) stars as debonair newspaper publisher Britt Reid, who fights crime at night as a masked superhero known as The Green Hornet. With his sidekick, Cato, and his souped-up vehicle, The Black Beauty, Reid faces nefarious villain Chudnofsky (Inglourious Basterd's Christoph Waltz). Cameron Diaz plays the female lead.

why 3D?
saw this in 3D as it was only option available on the night i went at the theatre i went to i see no need for 3D seth rogan was playing seth rogan [and doing a good job of it too] there was less need for cameron diaz then there was for the 3D aside from la diaz and the 3D it's actually a pretty reasonable effort for a hollywood studio movie

pressThough tonally uneven, Hornet nonetheless works as breezy, irreverent entertainment that makes a virtue of its unlikely elements. And there’s the added buzz of James Franco’s cameo.
The Guardian
pressThere's an uneasy sense that Rogen, though aware of the perennial need to preserve and build his brand as a comedy star, would still like to be seen as a leading man of some quirky sort or other.
Roger Ebert
pressAn almost unendurable demonstration of a movie with nothing to be about.
Little White Lies
pressIt comes as some disappointment – albeit no great surprise – to say that despite a few fanciful flourishes, Gondry has fought the Hollywood law, and the law has won.
Hollywood Reporter
pressNever achieves sufficient traction to go the blockbuster distance.
Empire Magazine
pressHigh hopes of magic from the Gondry-Rogen pairing are dashed. Some neat touches aside, this isn't so much eternal sunshine, more superbad.
