Plot summary (no spoilers): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0990407/plotsummary
This movie was rated PG-13 and I rated it a 3/5. Rated PG-13 for sequences of violent action, language, sensuality and drug content according to the MPAA. The 3/5 rating for the action, green hornet attire and KATO, GreenHornet's (Britt Reid played by Seth Rogen) partner/sidekick (Kato played by Jay Chou). The deductions were that this movie had too much attempts at comedy (also language) in a movie that I think should have been mostly action and for Seth Rogen being a very annoying through the whole movie (I know some like that stuff but I like classic superheroes like superman, batman, spiderman, etc.).
The movie starts off with scenes showing a sour relationship between playboy son Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) and his father, who happens to own a large newspaper company. Also, there were scenes introducing the "am I scary?" villan of the movie (Chudnofsky later Bloodnufsky played by Christoph Waltz), where James Franco makes a brief apperance as the new upcoming bad guy of the area (Danny "Crystal" Clear).
After a little while into the movie Reid's father dies and leaves his entire estate, including his newspaper company, to Britt Reid (Rogen). Because Britt despises his father and everything he stood for, Reid deicides to fire all his father's domestic workers/servants and ruin his father's company.
The next morning he realizes his ritual coffee is no more the same. So he tries to find out who made his "perfect" cup because his life is "ruined" without it. This is how he meets Kato. Instantly they form a relationship together where basically Kato builds and make almost all the plans and Britt assumes that he is doing equally important stuff, but he is not. Kato makes the car and outfits that they will use for the rest of the movie here.
Reid soon decides that Kato and he should do something crazy, so he decides on stealing the head of his father's statue. Upon doing so they run into a gang of men who just happen to work for the villan (Chudnofsky). miraculously, Kato and Reid escape and defeat this gang on their first try (mostly due to Kato and his ability to make super quick decisions like he was in slow-motion).
The next morning, Reid decides to run the company so he can control what people say about his and Kato's character's (Green Hornet and Kato). Also they happen upon hiring a new sectretary that turns from temporary to permanent (played by Carmeron Diaz) because she would be able to help, without knowing, the Green Hornet (Reid and Kato) decide how to make sure that they are heroes and not considered villans. She would be the one who researches and then relays her best guess at what the Green Hornet will do next.
Through much of the rest of the movie, the Green Hornet duo make a name for themselves and Reid and Kato learn to deal and develop a better relationship with one another. But due to this, the villan, Chudnofsky decides to place a bounty of $1,000,000 for their death or capture but prefers death. Soon afterwards the Green Hornet duo finds themself in a trap but manages to escape by blowing up their own car.
While being chased they end up in their own newspaper company where a final fight scene decides the who dies and who lives in the end.
