In this episode of We Have Seen That, we revisit The Green Hornet (2011) to see if this polarizing superhero comedy holds up over a decade later.

Starring Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz, and Christoph Waltz, and directed by Michel Gondry, this 2011 action-comedy tried to reinvent a classic character for a modern audience, but did it actually work?


We break down:


  • The cast, crew, and production background
  • Box office performance and behind-the-scenes context
  • IMDb and Letterboxd reviews (and what people really think now)
  • A full plot recap with our honest reactions
  • What works, what doesn’t, and whether it deserves a second chance


Was The Green Hornet ahead of its time, or exactly where it belongs in superhero movie history? We give our final ratings and settle the debate.


Stick around to the end as we tease the next episode of You Haven’t Seen That, where we dive into the slow-burn espionage classic Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
