It's kind of a shame you are unable to enjoy a decent if derivative movie, Bob. They can't all be winners.
As for Smurfs... I totally agree about Gummi Bears. It looks like the Smurfs movie will be the most awful thing since Cat in the Hat. This should be the tag line: "The Smurf movie is set in modern day New York City. Fuck you."
Also, I take it this means we won't be getting a review of Jonah Hex. Too bad. I was kind of looking forward to it. Your review, that is.
As for Seth Rogen as the Green Hornet, I had to google him to find out who that is. Fortunately, that turned up a trailer for GH. I don't know about having a comedy actor in the role. However, I don't know much about the character other than watching the serial when I used to own it on VHS (which had Keye Luke as Kayto delivering the awful line "You saved my wife!" after the Hornet rescued him.) That and the Green Hornet, aside from being a descendant of the Lone Ranger, and therefore a then-modern day version of the character.
But, if you were to ask me what the character was like, I could not tell you because the Green Hornet is a piece of dry white toast. There is nothing interesting about the character itself. The trailer looks like they try their damnedest to make something out of it, even if the Hornet is something of a buffoon. Buffoon or not, he also looks like he's effective as well, which is a plus. Even if he's being clearly upstaged by Kayto in that department.
So I don't know. The movie looks interesting despite being another fucking origin story, something that needs to fucking die in super hero movies. (In six movies, the origin of Batman was covered in like three of them. Enough, already. We get it. He's whiny because his parents are dead.) I kind of like the change of heart in Rogen's character although origin stories mean large chunks of a super hero movie where the super hero is neither. So, we'll see how it plays. The wisecracking is better than the vacuous nonentity. I will say that much.
