United States (CNS) - 118 minutes

In theaters January 14, 2011

Rating: PG-13, Comedic thriller

As superheroes go, this one is extravagantly campy, going for the giggle instead of the thrill. So he's a hornet without much of a sting, but at least he's gone green. And tongue-in-cheek.

The Green Hornet is a comedic actioner that would work better as an action comedy -- an actionomedy, perhaps? -- but that still gets the job done.
