I saw The Green Hornet. ...Can I have my Thor now?

Jan 14, 2011 17:09

Overall, I was entertained.  The dialogue was sarcastic and humorous, and Seth Rogen and Jay Chou had great chemistry together.  However, the crime-related plots were underdeveloped and as a result, seemed stupid.  Oh, and the Green Hornet as a superhero does not have a strong identity like Batman does.  It was clear that we weren't supposed to take the film too seriously, but the problem is that it doesn't take itself seriously enough.  If it did, Christoph Waltz would have been playing a smart villain who didn't let everone tell him what his image should be.  Really, Christoph, what were you thinking?!

I was amused, but I was also left pensieve and befuddled, like poor Hugo here.  Can I have the better-known superheroes' movies now?  Please?!

Anywhere, I snagged two memes from lavendergaia.

Meme the First:

Name a character and I will tell you:

a) a fact about them from my personal canon
b) a reason he/she sucks
c) a reason he/she is amazing
d) a thing that I'd like to see happen to them
e) someone that I can't ship that character with

Meme the Second:

Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them.

meh, meme, work, movies
