If you want to appreciate this movie, you have to put aside your prejudices:
including - superhero movies = the history of the struggle of handsome handsome men to bring back beauty after bitter hatred,
remakes = bad movies,
slow motion ≠ real kung fu,
Jay Chou ≠ Bruce Lee. . .
It's a seth rogen comedy with a so-called superhero cameo, and it's hilarious and good. Just like Shrek's love story aimed to subvert the traditional Disney princess and prince, Rogen's Green Hornet is subverting the traditional superhero movie.
For example, if you watch a movie starring Sean Zombie and the hot-blooded police detective, yes Simon Pegg, you have to break the conventional thinking to accept the inspirational breakthrough and subversion of these geniuses.
So, when the big-bellied Green Hornet and the double-chinned Kato appear on the screen, they can defeat the Iron Man armed with technology, or "the weakest superhero in history"! After all, Iron Man can still fight alone to be a hundred, but the Green Hornet is not only not good at kung fu, he can only kick balls + sneak attack + green hypnotizing gas gun (sounds like Tinker Bell's magic weapon), and he is the only sidekick he relies on However, Kato is often arguing with him because of women, and another powerful weapon, the Black Beauty Chariot, not only the operating system is that he cannot read Chinese, but also adds settings that can be destroyed by the villain, so he needs a lot of substitutes.
He even called his own name "Emerald Bee".
When other superheroes either made their name in front of the public or learned from Lei Feng behind their backs, the Green Hornet was thinking about how to pick up girls. , or he is going to go out and do some bad things and pranks or something, so until he finally overthrew the two major villains in politics and gangsters, he will continue to carry the blame of the big villain and be wanted by the police.
Now you understand, those clichés used by Superman Spiderman Batman Iron Man Flash will never appear on The Green Hornet - so much so that he, as the protagonist + hero, wants to kiss the beloved old woman Di Yaz would be thrown out of the door by the latter.
So, no clichés, you can enjoy their clumsy slow-motion fights, swear words, stupid but lucky shit and piss performances~ At this time, you will truly relax and be able to smile while watching the movie of.
When the Green Hornet and the villain councilor met and discovered the despicable face of the other party, he seemed to sum up the cause and effect of the truth as quickly as lightning bolts in his mind, and then the councilor said impatiently: I see it, you used the one you just passed. In five minutes, I finally figured it out - I'm having a good laugh here.
As for Jay Chou's Kato, this originally belonged to Stephen Chow's character! It is a pity that Stephen Chow and Rogen had a serious disagreement when writing the script and broke up unhappily. So the task was handed over to Jay Chou, the small-eyed and big-tongued man who had tried the bad film Su Qier, who could run for the most idiotic role in the history of Valkyrie, but in the film he showed Kato who is different from Bruce Lee's cute home version. . Although he has no real skills, even though he has fat on his chin after putting on the stand-up collar, and although his English is very poor, this version of Kato does give people a refreshing feeling, no longer the taciturn Killing machine, but a big house boy in a red sweater with a parted head who likes to listen to classical music.
From this Kato setting, we can see some subjective impressions of Chinese boys in Western society: technical nerds (masters of mechanical engineering + experts in tools and weapons), masters of kung fu, good at a musical instrument (piano), and a hobby of enthusiasts (listening to classical music), good at drawing comics, taciturn, with a unique accent in English, good at housework and taking care of people first-class, short stature + small eyes + split head + red sweater.
The film did not forget, pay tribute to the great Bruce Lee!
Also, talking about the villain whose limelight was stole by the narcissistic Green Hornet, Christoph Waltz, who is Christoph Waltz, this neurotic, cold-blooded villain is a bit of a continuation of Captain Lance in Inglourious Bastards, and there aren't many breakthroughs, but Waltz The acting is still excellent, and it is rare, letting a ruthless villain who is not deliberately set to be an idiot adds to the film's comedy.
