The Green Hornet - 2D

Frankly speaking, I went to watch it due to 2 reasons - my friend and to get out of house to experience the CNY spirit in Orchard.

As far as I know, it is a spawn off from a comic book and that Jay Chou went into Hollywood due to this film.
Here are some of the highlights that I observed:

a) It is one of those laugh it off movie. It invokes a lot of gaffaws and mirth. Of course, my friend is embarrassed again as my laughter is among those which permeated the large threatre.

b) Jay Chou's command of English is not bad. However, when he is emotional, it becomes incoherent.

c) Jay Chou's acting is well-maintained as in the past.

d) During the promotion of this film, the Orientalism theory comes out prominently. When have you heard a reporter asking a western celebrity like Seth Rogen how is it like working with Jay Chou, an Asian?

e) Cameron Diaz is once again reprising similar role like the one in The MASK. Though her character is depicted to be more intelligent and sassy, the role itself is meant for vase.

f) The storyline is not very memorable, at least not to me.

Still, it is worth the laughter and for the sake of festive mood.
