Critics Consensus

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

I like Seth, you like Seth. We all like Seth. BADLY miscast, here. And so was the director.

Rated: 1.5/4

[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.

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 3/4

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...

Rated: 2/5

The main characters were ok, but the plot is nearly all action & very little comedy. Didn't turn it off, however.

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