The Green Hornet - Review

[MrSplatterPlatter]

I don't know what fucking movie these guys were watching, but it sure wasn't the same one I watched. This is the first thing I walked out of in 10 years (well I usually don't go to bad movies, so I have that advantage) (and in case anyone tries to argue that I haven't seen the film, I saw 80% of it, more than it deserved from me). There was one funny scene, the cameo in the beginning, and the rest is useless. Seth Rogen shouldn't have had anything to do with The Green Hornet. Fucking hated it.

[Rangerwolf447]

Seth Rogan is such a douche in this movie

[ChouJui]

JAY CHOU FTW

[qpae123]

The film is pure BULLSHIT , terrible, crap...recomend it to ur worst enemy.

[trainswee]

@qpae123 agreed fully on the most part

[Seracinfinity]

Terrible film.

[JustinPM]

Gah! Review the movie, don't break it down into the values that you support in the movie!

"I think this movie is great for dogs, because you don't usually see male dogs do things, you usually see Lassie doing things in movies."

Sweet crap.

[HHHdahman]

I liked it. Funny and very good action scenes.

[elevation276]

this movie it`s a complete waiste of time... i not only suck.. but was really stupid... made me hate seth rogen..the biggest idiot of them all!!

[VitsInEnglish]

@elevation276 Why do you think you suck?

[TsugaruClan]

Damn, Jonathan. Get some balls or something. Jump in there. You're a smart guy, and do good reviews, and yet you're just sitting there while Ben and Alonso just go on and on and on and on. Cut them off, like they cut off you. Come on, man. But good on you to bring that racist b.s. about white guys always getting women of all colors, and there's that raging yellow fever white guys and others have, but an Asian guy having a healthy relationship with a non-Asian woman? Virtually non-existent.

[TsugaruClan]

Damn, Ben's a prick. He asks Jonathan what he thinks about the 3D, then quickly cuts him off, and then doesn't even pass the air back to him.

[echosixnoble]

Seth Rogen sucks. I can't stand that guy.

[SuPeRsQuId96]

@echosixnoble i know right



[WalksBehindTheRose]

LIEMAX

[hibbitish]

They say Jay Chou wrong. Chou rhymes with show.

[ChouJui]

@hibbitish technically yes but its been said like tat in the Western world for years. I know because my surname is Chou ;)

[ShowMeSomeTrailers]

Nice review, but I would like to see it in 720p.

[PurushaDesa]

This is an hilarious review - Ben's best yet.

[Jaywed]

Man i loved this movie.

[LobsterPotsticker]

well money

was seth rogen's superpower

[qwuezalothus]

These aren't chritics, their fashionmodels. Their talk is lame, their points have about a hundred holes in them, and the conclusion they make is simply unfair if see it's flaws together.

[runescaper128]

@qwuezalothus That's why you fail at the English language, right?

[qwuezalothus]

@runescaper128

I thought we were talking about a movie.

[captcrais101]

This movie sucked. Jay Chou and the car were the only things good about the movie. I do hope to see Jay chou as an action hero more Often. But Seth Rogan is no action hero. If they make an M.A.S.K. movie Jay would be a good Bruce Sato.

[caleb4080]

@captcrais101 BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TO YOU =D

[bootypicture]

This movie only proved that when it comes to writing Seth Rogan is no Quentin Tarantino.

[Frank9507911]

Favorite part.....the Gangsters Paradise Part was AWESOME

[trippingballs234]

i like the use of "rise up" by cypress hill in the trailer =D

[1Mellodee]

The Movie is an Awful "Campy" send-up of the 60's series-Whoever let Seth write this should be Fired...Don't waste your money on "Frat-Boy Hornet"...I'm glad I'm only out 5 Bucks on a 5.00 Bootleg Dvd...there is Sooo Much that could've been done with the Green Hornet if the writing was the same as "The Dark Knight"..All we got instead was a Goofball comedy...even the Bad Guy was weak!

[ridimwave]

ben is a pussy the new guy is cool the Asian guy is Asian

[warmonster86]

at the part where they blow up the club all i could was "cool guys dont look at explosions, blow stuff up and then walk away"

[MTERM775]

I thought this was a really fun movie!

[mexicanexalted]

Don't like the fat man in the middle.

Henchman 24: Here's a tip. A beard is no substitute for a jawline, no matter how you trim it.

[tigger9866]

Film sucked

[Doublerainbowguy]

limax!

[BigMrFirebird]

Ben, the movie where the good looking white dude gets the asian chick is the Bond flick, "Tomorrow Never Dies".

[bootypicture]

@BigMrFirebird try looking up the word Sarcasm

[BigMrFirebird]

@bootypicture Try not looking up your mom's skirt.

[nongo]

One of the movies Jonathan was talking about was "Harold and Kumar goes to White Castle"

[HillValleyCA]

the movie kicked ass but the 3d wasn't anything special.

[4795623]

I knew this was gonna be a trainwreck when i saw the trailer

[ebolanow]

@4795623

And how is a movie averaging 7,4 on here (very rare for a flick like this) qualifies as a trainwreck cause I really can't wrap my head around just how idiotic your comment actually is.

It is a fun action-comedy that you will want to see with friends (mostly male friends because of the genre).

[tab2522]

3D sucks!

[QuatermassMan]

This movie sucked. Kato was a badass, the car was great and some of the action was good...but Rogen really brought it down. He was a doofus in this movie and he stayed a doofus throughout. He didn't change at all, he wrote himself way too much dialogue. He just says too many words! Annoying.

[ArtemisMS]

The nerdy guy in the argyle sweater needs to shush up more so my sweetie Jonathan Kim can get a word in edgewise. It's like having two Ben's on one show! (Cept I do love me some Ben Mankiewicz ... the original Ben, not his argyle-loving clone)

[longslidenyc]

The 3d sucked and this movie .....I just don't have a word to describe what a dumb piece of shit it is. Maybe it will be fun for kids who know nothing of the legacy of Kato that has been disregarded here. Somewhere an advertiser smile because he got his burger king cup deal.

[doctender77]

This movie was fairly entertaining but I can't figure out why on earth it was in 3D

[CultofPatriots]

I'm sorry but this movie was terrible.... just terrible

[luridplanet]

I think the only reason they even made it is because the characters are now in the public domain

[MaryJesusJoseph]

It's an okay movie that no one should pay more than $9 to see.

[PaulYall27]

Why all the references to Tony Stark. Does the Green Hornet make a robotic suit that flies?? No! He's like Bruce Wayne. Just because Robert Downey is a more charming actor than Bale, doesn't excuse you from confusing the two.

"Film Experts"... pff, my ass

[vidmasterofworld]

OMFG!  its streeter!!

[ceescake]

If he actually said he liked iron man better than batman i might have flipped shit, no disrespect for iron man it was great but DARK NIGHT COME ON

[PaulYall27]

@ceescake totally agree. Loved Iron Man but Dark Knight is fucking Oscar-worthy

[bobino2468]

I LOVE this panel. Awesome. Hilarious. Informative.

[maxsonly]

this movie was pretty good, action and comedy, my kind of movie.

[TheRydog100]

I loved the movie. The audience I saw it with sucked and had no sense of humor though. I was sitting there cracking up and nobody else made any re-action.

[mochalex]

@MrHarrylime79 Yeah, and then she smashed his face in!

[mochalex]

Seeing movies in the theater is a humongous rip off. Netflix = unlimited movies in the comfort of your home for freaking $9 a month. Get ur free trial membership @ Netflix dotcom slash TYT. ;)

[BJrok]

A kiss? Big deal. Just another asian star(?) who kicks ass but sounds like a dork and never gets laid. Further, not even close to the original actor's awesomeness. It's been over 37 years since Kato passed away but not a single asian dude matches his calibre. Maybe we are only bunch of pansy conformists after all.

[CarlosIsDown]

Half of the thing is talking about 3d. Dayum. I blame the 3d

[kirksettle]

People still wear checkered-polos nowadays?

[Ultimoninja]

@kirksettle that's a checkered sweater-vest

[adgeyk]

@kirksettle it's called argyle

[kirksettle]

@adgeyk *AHEM* People still wear Argyle?

[adgeyk]

@kirksettle lol apparently they do.

[QueenLioness84]

In my city, they have Imax and 3D options and they cost $13.00 per person. The "LIEmax" isn't really the Imax experience. The screen isn't any larger and there's really not descerning differnce. According to the workers, Imax films have enhanced sound and picture....I ain't seein' it.

[Nielsen700]

I don't know how anyone can respect Ben Mankiewicz' opinion. He thought The Other Guys was the best movie of 2010.

[getgot1]

LIEMAX!!!!

[AnIntangibleBadge]

YESTERDAY IS HERE.

[y8qxk9as]

this is one of those "feel good movies" well at least i think so. i thought it had some action packed scenes and had a good amount of comedy. despite the bad reviews, i enjoyed the film, i didn't care that it wasn't as serious as the original green hornet series.

[berrygirlfinn]

loves this review ...sold me and hubby a ticket!! I ain't paying frickin $40 bucks though!! These three are a great "bro-mance" trio...lookin forward to seeing them more!

[DoctorCataclysm]

Shit, they spoil movies with regularity. Twice now, they've given away plot points in their "reviews". Going to have to unsub.

[cockroach2]

Yay! They brought back the sexy cabana theme!

[robjla1]

Asian Kassem G..wolf shirt

[kgdblade]

"When will there be a movie about a white guy, who gets a good looking Asian woman?' <- Ben.

Answer - 'Year of the Dragon'...Mickey Rourke gets the gal!!!!

[DoctorCataclysm]

@kgdblade Balls of Fury too!

[bookworm3583]

I'm loving the post-production! Such an advancement from the days of someone just clicking play on Windows Media Player. This is finally coming close to replacing the giant hole At the Movies left in my life. Just wish these reviews were a little shorter, though.

[westernbaconburger]

"Did you not hear me it blew?"

Ben, we all heard it the first time, you don't need to repeat it over and over - -.

[Scratch912]

@westernbaconburger great insightful comment, thank you for sharing...

[Stablemable2]

The Green Hornet and Kato are the coolest of comic duos but hollywood should show more range in races with these superhero flims.

From superhero films to video games to tv its all about subtle white supremacy.

[BarackMcBush]

This Review brought to You by "a Geek ,a China-man,and a Jew"™ , They also do Wedding's...

[madpat2007]

I don't know why everyone craps on Ben, I think he's funny.

[12oranges]

I like the new guy.

[OddBallent]

Thumbs up if you think 9:12 was added in after this was shot.

[occupiedbytim]

The guy in the middle looks like Streeter from College Humor.

[ScottishAtheist]

Ben can't help himself from interrupting, why can't he just SHUT THE FUCK UP and let the other two talk; they have a lot more interesting things to say.

[TNAKurtAngle]

i like this guy better than matt

[YuanMizzle]

lmao, for a second I thought Matt actually came in costume for one of the reviews.

[TNAKurtAngle]

@YuanMizzle haha me too

[GUCCImontana420]

no christy? booooooooooooooo

[Beja87]

@GUCCImontana420 She's off filming for Roger Ebert's new Review Show....she's moving on up

[chrisproxxx]

Did the audio cut out for a second for anyone else when Ben shouted "LIEMAX!!!"?

[DakotahSalazar9]

Jesus ben calm down with the Imax for crying out loud, ask for a refund.

[hollaboutit]

or, its like the original green hornet.

[Vocalities]

Wait...first he wanted to hide the love interest / cameo...and then he just blurts out who it is!

[AlianzaZ]

This movie is disappointing:/

I recommend download//rent. 

[savindian]

lol have you never seen porn you got interracial stuff happening all the time lol

[borimirtheboring]

Imax is a lie.

[kadoushe]

what happened to the hot chick?

[publicatdamagnificen]

"Let me interrupt you" Ben that's all you do is interrupt people! Allow me to elaborate, Ben, you're a cool guy, but...YOU TALK TOO DAMN MUCH!!!

[bigcomcast]

Thanks Ben I have been looking for a good movie review show ever since Ebert got sick and had to quit his show.

[BrimHawk]

Seth Rogan has to be just about the most unfunny actor today.

No wait, that title has to go to Jack Black...Seth Rogan is the second most unfunny actor today.

[metaitachi]

@BrimHawk Agreed, i dont get the appeal of Jack black. He was better in King Kong then any of his comedies.

[dwbkmj]

yea you guys have seen a duo super hero movie where each guy thinks he's the hero... have you guys seen Blank Man!!! really it's a great Super hero Duo lol

[MisterEvil1]

LIMAX, I love that new term.

[MpowerdAPE]

manko - dicks's ratings are utterly screwed. the guy hasnt had a consistant day in his meager life AND he wont stfu.

[YOURINQUIRER]

I think they're playing the whole angle of how, in Hong Kong, it was called "The Kato Show" not "The Green Hornet".

Sorry guys, but this sucked.

It's funny how, on TV, Batman was the campy show and Green Hornet took itself seriously and now it just the freakin' opposite!

[SlyCopper23]

Ben is complaining too much about the 3D. Is there anything else bad with the movie?

[kangax]

yeah and the guy who drinks, takes drugs and sleeps all day long ... becomes a hero over a night ... lol

[RyuuMakato42]

Ben's pronunciation of 'Chou' is quite irritating. Oh, now the new guy said it too.

Jonathan's in his thirties? What?

[tharealrebels]

keep the new guy.. he's funny

[wildhias]

hong konf fui, Jeeves and Wooster - i love this new guy and his look is great too - a fat guy with glasses, beard and pullover -cmon that's how a movie geek is supposed to look

[gbw80521]

Color me surprised. I was sure from the trailers that this movie would be crap. I guess now I have to go see it.

[YavinArba]

11:10 - Scott Pilgrim vs. da world.

[YavinArba]

ITS LIEMAX!!!!

[Hamhark98]

This is one of the movies I actually wanted to hear about and get an actual review for and really I still have no idea what to expect after watching this. That was rather pathetic.

[spazzing]

JEEVES AND WOOSTER?! YOU GET 5 BAJILLION POINTS, ALONSO. <3<3

[schmoab]

I love Ben's tangents. I'm thinking of seeing it now even though I wasn't interested before.

[ilove01986]

20 bucks for a movie, yeah you paid for it

[unabomberman]

LIEMAX!

[manhunt48]

07:06 To see the actual review. . . anything before that is just bitching about 3d and Imax.

[norbu2006]

I hate Seth Rogan. I don't know why. I always hated him, always will.

[cheddyrod]

@norbu2006 No problem, the world always has hated you and always will.

[TheTaskmaster]

every superhero movie amps up the "i don't know what i'm doing". every one. spiderman to daredevil to batman to kickass.

this one is just shameful.

[DeJach]

@TheTaskmaster It's an interesting contrast between american superheros and japanese superheros. The japanese get their power from having something to protect, and if they fail their power goes away from despair and they basically die, while the americans just randomly get their powers (e.g. bitten by spider) and decide fighting crime's a good enough thing to do with those powers. The japanese are often doing the same thing before their power as after.

[edgeninja]

Whenever I view an ad for a movie and see "starring Seth Rogen", my interest immediately takes a nosedive. The guy hit his peak in "Superbad", as far as I'm concerned. Having said that, I'm quite surprised 2/3 of the WTF panel gave "Green Hornet" high grades. I'm conflicted now.

[AllWalksofLife]

@edgeninja Uhhh he wasn't even in Superbad.

[manoric82]

@AllWalksofLife Yes he was; he was one of the cops.

[mangaas]

Skip to 7:00 mark if you want to hear the actual REVIEW of the movie...

[frozencanuckreviews]

@mangaas Thanks for saving me 7 minutes.

[MrHarrylime79]

Didn't a white guy get an Asian woman in Sideways? (kinda)

[Moionfire]

@MrHarrylime79 Ben was joking... Films hook up Asian women with white men A LOT... The reverse is much less true...

[carlosreyes11]

7.4 WTF? lol in a movie where nobody wants to be the main character but the sidekick. Average score above of IMDB and not mention RT which has this movie in 44% atm. Are you sure that you saw the movie or it was the rerun of the TV series? Just kidding! I guess that you are part of that 44% which are a few ;D

[Z0hann]

"Thanks 3D!" lmao

[Coolguysandler]

Who is this fat guy? He's completely new and got no introduction

[underweightHater]

can you do a video on where to shop for movie critic threads? there is some dazzling fashion going on here.

[Coolguysandler]

@underweightHater Hahaha

[RatRodyo]

furthermore james bond got a asian girl

[RatRodyo]

i have decided i dislike the fat guy -.-

[IcarusAllsorts]

I thought this would be terri-bad, guess I might go see it after all. 

[TuchMySwrd]

I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!!!!

[TuchMySwrd]

I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!!!!

[Coolguysandler]

Good change, starting the video right out with clips rather than sitting there awkwardly.

[RatRodyo]

he said snooty <.<

[RatRodyo]

he said shite >.>
