COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Really Funny submitted by InterestedPat on June 23, 2011, 4:17pm A lot of people hate on this movie. I don't really understand. Though it might go back to the fact that Jay Chou is awesome. Seth Rogen and Jay Chou make a hilarious dynamic duo as they fight crime by being vigilantes. The fight scenes are funny and Jackie Chan-esque. I recommend this movie for people who like Jay Chou and/or are looking for a fast laugh.

Great Mix submitted by qfaro1 on June 25, 2011, 6:32pm I really liked this movie. It had a good mix of Seth Rogen's funniness and Jay Chou's awesomeness.

Great submitted by Chris82 on July 30, 2011, 11:54pm This isn't a particularly good movie but its really fun to watch. It has some great action scenes and a lot of funny scenes.

Better than Expected submitted by amykmilligan on August 16, 2011, 8:43am I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I thought I would. Definitely not one of the greatest films of all time, but really fun to watch.

heroes without power submitted by jszchen on August 20, 2011, 3:30pm It was a funny and unique movie. It is interesting how a cup of coffee brought the unlikely pair together that make a hilarious duo. Jay Chou is awesome - I had never even heard of him before. It is also interesting how the yare a superhero that do not have any super powers, but boy do they have some cool toys.

strikes as milled! submitted by lekendrick on October 16, 2011, 10:19pm Jay Chou take on Kato struck as kind of offensive given day an age in addition his moonlighting or day job really as an asian language R&B singer borrowing tracks older groups as instrumental! But, its gas gun & disposition taken piece the ongoing Marvel can be one an out! Series though there's really not enough to be supported stance shift cultural including very much anyone revisiting the career bruce lee as brandon felt, but I'm naive...

Ok... submitted by tree64 on June 16, 2012, 6:06pm This movie was more of a comedy than an action movie. The plot was not that great, but some parts were pretty funny. Overall, I did not enjoy the movie as much as I expected to. However, if you are a fan of Taiwanese singer Jay Chou, you should probably watch this movie, since he is one of the main characters, and he is involved in a few fight scenes. This is not ideal for little children, but if you like comedy and humor, this may be a good choice for you.

Liked it submitted by crazypockets on July 13, 2013, 12:33pm A lot of people didn't like this, but I really enjoyed it. I didn't know anything about The Green Hornet story beforehand, so maybe that's why. I just thought it was very funny and different from most super hero stories, and I liked that. I love Seth Rogen in just about anything though. There was a lot of really good action, too.
