"The Green Hornet"

Corny and unfunny.  I'm all for oversized ego; only if it's matched by brilliance (Tony "Iron Man" Stark, anyone?).  But certainly not bullying.  I've never watched a "hero" that is more insulting than trust-fund, boorish slacker Britt Reid (Seth Rogen).  When the sidekick, Kato (Jay Chou) is far superior, and you're rooting for anyone to remove Reid out of the equation, 'Hornet' doesn't stand a chance for salvation - except maybe for the last quarter of comic-style nonstop actions.
