E 'physiological. Comes to everyone on the day of truth. The moment when the genre exhausted all its cartridges - the inspiration, enthusiasm, trials - and become a cliché. That 's what perceived watching "Green Hornet", yet another unconventional fumettone, fracassone, full of jokes, chases, fights and references to other movies and comics. A film is not bad nor boring, where you really enjoy thanks to the good dose of humor that enriches the writing, but where there is the inevitable lack of real ideas. In "Green Hornet" (a historical paradox that makes him a forefather of the superhero, before Batman and Superman for instance) there is really everything. They range from references to Sin City, Batman and Robin, the Pink Panther, and even in action films like "Lethal Weapon" or "Beverly Hills Cop." The protagonist is a strange mix between Peter Parker and Bruce Wayne, while co-star is called Kato, does martial arts and emulate Bruce Lee in the late sixties he had played (really) in the homonymous TV series. Citing short circuit in which the director Michel Gondry loves to splash around, but the final effect is, however, that the mere decal.
Gondry, on the other hand, takes its director and visionary, especially in a couple of sequences, demonstrates character and desire to renew. One must also mention the scene where the underworld is the word of the vigilante killing, or the moment when the protagonist relates everything that happened until birth Green Hornet. short, "Green Hornet" is a film well directed, well played and fun, but sin in the absolute lack of novelty. Only for fans of the genre.
