I was just thinking, while reading the below threads, that I like the prospect of a Green Hornet movie.
Why?
Because, like Kevin said, not many people know it and therefore there is no huge fanbase of GH geeks to try not to disappoint.
Its not the type of character where it will be easy to butcher the character.
But the main reason I like it is that there won't have to be a tonne of backstory, my main reasons for not liking Spiderman and Xmen, and to a lesser extent Daredevil. (Here Xmen2 was redeemed because the backstory had already been told, and this is why I think I will like Spiderman 2 better as well).
It will be just a nice movie with little backstory, a good comic book action movie that you will just be able to sit down and enjoy, without having to worry about getting caught up in backstory.
I'm looking forward to it.
