If you want to read lengthy, drawn-out reviews of the movies in theaters now (or soon to be) then this isn't the blog you should be reading. Most of the posts from The Other Critic are short, sweet and to the point; that's how we roll here.

We also don't just focus on current movies. Let's face it, there are plenty of good movies that have been made, and sometimes viewers have a tendency to forget that there is more to life than movies in the theaters.

With all that said, please enjoy the short and concise, and sometimes opinionated reviews. If you don't like them, that's okay—we won't hold it against you.

The Green Hornet

Hmm...how can I put this gently. This movie sucked. It lacked "sting".

Although it was action packed, with tons of explosions, gadgets and the occasional funny one-liner from Seth Rogen, this show is nothing more than a waste of time and money—and even more money of you rented the 3D glasses. There was no chemistry between the characters—Cameron Diaz must have used up her "chemistry account" with Knight and Day. It seems to me that the character of Britt Reid (in this film) is the horrible result of mixing the stories of Batman and Billy Madison together—wealthy, powerful and retarded, all in one. Seriously. Horrible acting on the villains part as well—just stupid acting. No real story or development overall. Jay Chou (Kato) was the best thing about this flick, and he was the sidekick.

Don't waste your time with this one, at least not in the theaters. Red Box it or get it through Netflix when it comes out.
