Well that trailer has me sold. I'm there in 2D.

Wow. Looks as bad as I thought it was going to turn out, Gondry or no Gondry. Green Hornet has no fanbase and isn't interesting enough to carry a movie. And this trailer proves it.

wonder how chows would have been

I didn't know they were making a fourth Rush Hour? What happened to Chris Tucker?

Sorry to disagree with you Dev, this looks pretty good – looks like it'll be a fun film, its a decent first trailer to get Joe Public interested and I'm sure the final product will be Gondrified enough

I would now like to take this opportunity to apologize to the motion picture Jonah Hex for some of the negative things I recently said about it.

Kinda difficult to have a rapport with someone when he's reciting lines that he learned phonetically.

I can see why it's being released in January. lol

They stole a joke from Johnny English, that does not bode well.

Maybe there is nothing unique to show? Maybe there is nothing special? Maybe it isn't unique and is like 40 other movies you've seen the past few years? Why do you assume it's simply the trailer?

Amazing how you basically say not to judge a movie by the trailer, and then you judge the movie badly by its trailer.

You sir, are a master of bullshit.

It doesn't look so bad.

So the trailer doesnt appear to contain any of the trademark Gondry 'quirks'. 1. it's a trailer, it's hardly long enough to do any scene justice, hence not allowing any of that to come through. 2. So what if it doesn't look like a Gondry film? He got the gig because of his talent, that doesn't mean he wanted to make a film that looked and felt like all his previous work, and would that even work? I mean other than you saying yes because you feel like you are being robbed or something? I really wish your writing was more evenly handed in its balance of opinion Vs factual reporting. It really makes the website seem amatuerish…

Judging movies by first draft scripts is also for suckers. Devin is right, this looks all kinds of terrible. If the point of this movie was simply to stick a character from Knocked Up in a superhero movie, then why in the hell didn't they just make Jonah Hill the Green Hornet. Now, THAT would have instantly removed the movie from generic land.

I wish people would give this movie a chance, seen a lot of hate online about this trailer already and I have no idea why – it looks like a fun, unpretentious action/comedy…and we need more of that at the moment. For all those people dubbing it "the next Spirit", I think you have to go back and watch that movie…because this looks like a masterpiece in comparison. But where's Olmos? They should be trying to get those BSG fanboys in seats!

Looks like it might be fun. Cue whiny fanboys complaining it isn't grim, dark and tedious.

That's pretty much how I feel towards the trailer. It looks like nothing special and the playboy turned vigilante feels like Batman Begins tbh.

I have to say … As someone who was NOT remotely interested in this film, it actually looks kind of fun. It won't be a classic must-see, but I'm sure there's enough fun it be had. Time will tell.

Hey, remember back when Devin promised to not be so cynical about movies? Lately it seems that mantra only applies to Scott Pilgrim. Ther was some cool stuff here – the shots of Kato kicking dudes, the fake car/gate facade… and regarding being just an action movie, the most satisfying thing I've seen this summer was "just an action movie" (the A-Team) so I can live with it. I personally am less worried about Green Hornet than I am about Inception, which gives gives me a "hot filmmaker given too much power" vibe. It could be Nolan's "The Village"

1. if this is the director of be kind rewind, I don't see what all the hubub is about. it's the same lame style.

2. rogan is very close to suffering from ceraitus, we're kinda tired of the actor playing the same character in every film.

I thought this trailer looked great. I dunno why everyone's hating on it online. I watched it last night, posted my version of it (I'm an online writer), and went about my business. This morning, I can't believe how many people are dogging on it. I thought it looked funny, action-packed, and there's the inclusion of Christoph Waltz to consider.

I'm really tired of the whole "Oh, this sucks" attitude towards everything. Not to mention: we haven't seen KatoVision yet.

Come on, Devin, give it a break.

Looks like there'll be some form of dark humor at a point.

I think the trailer would have been better without the generic, shit-metal playing throughout.

Yeah i dunno about this one

I have had zero interest in this movie, but I've got to say after seeing the trailer, it looks like this could be a really fun flick.

If it's a good film, I'll be delighted. If it's a bad film, I'll be just as delighted. Either way, I'm going to see this sucker.

So here's to hoping the Jack Black Gulliver's Travels somehow transcends its stupefyingly shitty trailer. Somehow, I doubt it will. Much in the way I doubt this will.

This looked mediocre and then Cameron Diaz walked in and sealed the deal. I also like the idea that the traffic camera stores the pictures it takes like it's shooting on film. I really hope this is just a bad trailer for a good movie.

Cameron Diaz makes her "entrance" into the trailer, and it comes to a screeching halt.

you certainly CAN judge a movie by its trailer and you freakin' know it

The anti-hype machine had this pegged to look a LOT more terrible than what this trailer delivers. It's a good looking trailer!

Doesn't look horrible, I guess. The kind of thing I'd watch on Netflix.

I've been a huge detractor against this ever since Seth Rogan's name started getting attached. Generic or not, I'm officially now interested. It looks nice to see Seth playing it almost straight-laced for once and if his comedic efforts are toned down (and less ad-libbed), it might make for an interesting picture.

Who cares? And it's always good to cut together a trailer where the sidekick steals the whole show.

Ugh. Gondry is one of my favorite directors, but this looks like Kevin Smith directed it after all.

And Seth Rogen plays … Seth Rogen. Way to transform yourself for the role, Seth.

Gotta disagree with you on this Devin. It put a smile on my face. I don't know if that says anything about my movie tastes or the state of the movie industry this summer…

this is iron man:starring seth rogan, rich kid, likes to party, dad dies, says, ive never doen anything good my whole life, lets become super heros, the chinese guy is the inventor, cameron diez is pepper, the chinese guy is rhodey to stark

Jay Chou's (not chow) lack of charisma is going to sink this. Have you seen CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER? Or his executive produced PANDAMAN TV series? He's a black void of charm and acting talent. He's a pretty good pop crooner, but that's as far as it goes. He's no Rain.

looks o.k., but the trailer has too many "money shots".

I'm beginning to think that the hate towards Devin written on these talkbacks might actually be studio people involved with the marketing of said films because this obviously looks a hell of a lot worse than The Shadow!

Gee, what a surprise. A movie with Seth Rogen playing Seth Rogen.

Looks like total, uncut, homogenized generic crap.

The action and design look top-notch. The dialogue and acting doesn't. This will bomb. I have a soft spot for Rogen but let's be real the man can't act and is best only as varying shades of the Knocked Up character. Or if you've got someone with bona fide skills and charisma like Franco beside him he'll come off okay. Chou doesn't seem to do that for him. Frankly, Kato stole the trailer (just like the TV show) and seemed like the 'real' superhero. If Rogen was the Hornet while STILL being a degenerate pot head, that would be a better movie. The man cannot play sober. And was that Cameron Diaz? for like 2 seconds? This sucker's gonna tank. There better some cool cameos at least.

It had me at least halfway until I saw that it would be in 3D at the end. Looks like Hollywood is going to kill off 3D again with over saturation.

The only thing this was missing is the needle screeching off the record sound when Diaz walks in.

@ 20, Rogen isn't playing the "same old character", he's playing himself…..because he's a bad actor. Also, this movie looks pretty blah; if I'm bored one night I may check it out on Netflix.

Amateur hour with Devin, once again.

As devoid of charisma as Jay Chou seems to be, he stills comes of better than Seth Rogen in this trailer. And I did like Chou's deadpan delivery of the line "I'll go with you, but I don't want to touch you."
