And actually Chou did a decent enough job, with good acting and well-choreographed action/fighting sequences. Jay Chou (playing Kato) certainly had HUGE shoes to fill out after the original role was played by Bruce Lee. And the scene at the beginning where Britt Reid was bringing home a woman and they went through the garage and sat in all the cars (showing them off for the audience, actually) in high-speed capture, what was up with that? Already at that point, the movie started to falter and crash. He did bring along some comedy, but it didn't work so well in this particular movie. Seeing him in this role didn't go well with me. I do admire his spirit and enthusiasm, but he is more suited for comedy movies.

I know he was involved in directing and writing the movie and all, but he is not chiseled out for an action role of this caliber. First of all, Seth Rogen (playing Britt Reid/The Green Hornet).

But there were also aspects of the movie that were less than successful. And surprisingly enough, it managed to do so in a good enough way. Having grown up with the original TV series, this movie really had some big shoes to fill out. I watched 'The Green Hornet' with a sense of skepticism.
