New Green Hornet trailer

[Greg Cox]

In a way, they're cleverly playing off the popular wisdom that Kato/Bruce Lee stole the show on the old tv series. Which is a fun angle to explore . . . .

There's actually nothing clever about it. It's about as blatant and obvious as you can get. It's also not very good. .

Well, it's clever in that it takes a potential pitfall, that most people remember the sidekick as being cooler than the hero, and makes a virtue of it. As to whether it works . . . well, we'll find out in January.

(For what it's worth, I actually played the Hornet straight in my own story, but that was aimed at a different market.)

This looks gooq. Question: what is real D? I know what 3D is, but i've seen this in other movie trailers.

I think it's just a proprietary method of 3D. Like Dolby and DTS are both proprietary methods of surround sound.

 

[Nowhere Man]

Ok, thanks.

Is anyone even slightly interested in this movie?

I'm looking forward to it.

I'm more interested in it than most of the comic book stuff coming out simply because it looks funny.

It is just one method of projecting 3D in theaters. There are three or four common 3D projection systems used by theaters.

All 3D films can play in either format. It is just paid advertising in trailers to raise audience awareness of 'RealD 3D'.

Well, presumably the people who posted in this thread saying that they were are ...

 

[Shazam!]

the Green Hornet himself however wasn't a bungling idiot. Which turns this movie from something that might have been interesting, to slapstick I have no interest in.

What might it have been?

Same here.

Its strange people were turned off by the Green Lantern trailer but are more interested in the Green Hornet trailer. I can certainly understand the GL trailer cut was very very bad, but I do remember another certain movie that a very bad first teaser trailer. And that went onto becoming the most succesful movie of all time and paved the way to a swarm of 3D projects!

Add me to this list as well as seemingly everyone else in this thread.

It does look entertaining and while I'm not ready to pass any full judgement on Green Lantern right now that first trailer left much to be desiered.

Oh, and Avatar is never going to be considered a great movie as a whole by me at least. One billion $$$ or not.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I liked the Green Lantern trailer and this trailer.

I'm already loving it.

There's actually nothing clever about it. It's about as blatant and obvious as you can get. It's also not very good. Bruce Lee indeed stole the show, the Green Hornet himself however wasn't a bungling idiot. Which turns this movie from something that might have been interesting, to slapstick I have no interest in.

There is anything you even remotely like in the universe?

Me too

I was not impressed by the Green Lantern trailer, but I still am really pumped to see the movie. I understand that the trailer exists to get the average movie goer into the seats. The people who are wowed by special effects and what not. I'm also not a huge Ryan Reynolds fan and in the trailer he was acting too much like Ryan Reynolds and not how I picture Hal Jordan.

But I did like Green Hornet. It looks differente and looks like it could be a lot of fun and looks like it's going to play with the superhero forumla and not take it too seriously.

I will certainly be seeing both, but I felt Green Hornet had the more effective trailer, for me.

 

[Red Ranger]

From what I've heard of the concept, "superhero take credit for sidekick's ass-kicking," I wasn't looking forward to it. But the trailer makes it look better than a lame The Tick superhero spoff rip-off. So maybe I'll give it a chance. I do like Seth Rogen, but still think he's miscast as the Green Hornet.

Count me as one of those who liked the Green Lantern trailer, though. I think they've adapted some of the best aspects of Green Lantern into the movie. Seems quite faithful to the comics.
