Critics Consensus

It's sporadically entertaining, but The Green Hornet never approaches the surreal heights suggested by a Michel Gondry/Seth Rogen collaboration.

I never thought a Gondry project could be such a bore, but this movie proves it is possible.

It's funny- others may criticize it, but its hilarious and action packed. Who cares if its a bit stupid.

It has some moments but there not enough to save this parody of a comic book movie. This is nothing more than a typical Seth Rogen comedy rather than a film about Green Hornet, while Rogen himself was definitely a misscast in the role.

I love the character. I loved Kevin Smith's Green Hornet adaptation for Dynamite comics. I hated this movie.

TheWrap

[It] clocks in at a bloated 118 minutes. There is not, I promise you, 118 minutes worth of vital plot, special effects or comic business in this movie.

Lessons of Darkness

Aside from a brief split-screen sequence and a few deft special-effects, there's almost no sizzle to this goofy take on superheroics.

Rated: C-

Gondry’s film is a postmodern blast […] and well worth the wait for fans of the source material.

What The Green Hornet does better than all these films is making superheroes uncool - and there's nothing that's even a bit super about that...
