I got around to seeing The Green Hornet

On an entertainment scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 6.5

It wasn’t boring. It wasn’t edge on my seat riveting. I did want to watch it all the way to the end and came away with a positive impression.

Honestly, the Green Hornet isn’t a compelling character if taken seriously. Inspired by The Shadow, he’s a precursor to other more intriguing characters… such as Batman. He is mostly remembered for a brief TV series with a great contribution  by Bruce Lee. That being said, taking it tongue in cheek is the only way to make it palatable to a m ore Comic Book Movie  savvy public… and even then, it is limited in marketability.

Had I paid to see it in the theater, I would have been less enthusiastic as it would have been a wasted night out. It’s a good midweek renter.
