re The Green Hornet, I saw these two reviews by effex and @fantasticfangirls that say pretty much the same thing allchildren (er, hello!) is: Kato is awesome and it subverts some stereotypes.
Otoh, I also saw this by (I think) an Asian guy at 8asians.com asking/ranting, Is Kato just another model minority stereotype? Which has me thinking (yet again) why, if Rogan's character isn't all that, he needs to be in the movie at all (or why the lead dude, even if he isn't awesome can by played by a POC, and have a sidekick POC too).
On the third hand, Jay Chou learned English in one month for this movie, and I kind of think I should see it just for that, because that is impressive. I mean, it's not like I'll be watching Thor for anything other than Idris Elba (and I don't even know what character he plays or how big his role is in the movie).
