The Green Hornet: Wickedly Mediocre

So, I just got back from the midnight showing of The Green Hornet, and I must say, it was an unfortunately hit-or-miss adventure. If you're wondering "Is it one of those films where basically all the good parts are in the trailer?", the answer is a resounding "pretty much". For a superhero movie that seems to tout its uniqueness from other superhero legends, the film is littered with clichés and characters who don't seem to take anything in their world seriously.

"You don't think I'm scary? Why don't you think I'm scary? I have a double-barreled gun. That should be scaring you right now! Do you think I'm old? Gah! I'm too old for being a crime boss. That's why you don't find me scary, isn't it? I knew it! Please, tell me how I could be scaring you better. I... I'm no good at this."
