film: SPEED RACER

[dr.strangelove]

I found an HD version of the trailer here:

I seem to be in a minority here, but the more I see it and see how they have both stuck almost religiously to the dated cartoon and tried to do something totally different and fresh on film, the more I am anxious to see this.

^ i watched the same trailer earlier today and believe i will get real high and go see this on the largest screen possible.

Man. Just saw the trailer for this and it looks embarrassingly bad. Also,for some reason,Emile Hirsch looks just like Jack Black in the face when they show him in that retard helmet. I guess a live-action Johnny Quest movie is right around the corner.

just saw a trailer on TV, and think watching this one lots of acid, or insane ammounts of hash, would be awesome.

I hated the show. I doubt I would like the movie.

 

[Ezek1el]

I dunno I liked watching the cartoon way back when even as cheesy as it was. I think visually the movie looks great, so I'm going to give this film a view when it releases for sure.

Five buck club, ftw!

i am thinking no for theater, but definite yes for blu ray.

 

[L2R]

i like pretty colours

This might be the only time when I want to rate a film before it comes out. I wish I had another pair of hands.... so I could give it four thumbs down!!!!

Isn't he supposed to be Japanese or something?

 

[Swerlz]

thats a movie ill definitely watch tripping..

not at the theater of course

special fx should be nice, but overall.. itll most likely blow

if its not like the old violent cartoon with the fast races and horrible dialog, than fuck that shit

 

[L2R]

i liked it more than i thought i would.

the wacko brothers do a fine job making a 2.5 hour episode of speed, with the most amazing cg effects used in ways to cheesafy them immensely. many time during the film i thought to myself how funny it'd be on a head full of acid.

it's silly, trippy and exciting. what more could you want?

the movie starts with a bit of a jerk, no unlike a car that sputts and stall on ignition, but once it gets rolling and you get used to the dialogue being spoken by faces flashing across the screen it aint that bad.

4/5

 

[Sziontist]

^definitely made me consider how rad it would be on acid as well.

Loved it. watched it three times today.

4/5 certainly.

 

[thugpassion]

I thought, wow colorful. Might be cool if your tripping on mushrooms. Other than that it suuccked.

 

[L2R]

vote then, bitches

I think i am the only one who i know in person who has admitted to liking this movie!

Granted, it definitely is not deep in substance, but for pure entertainment value, i give this five stars!

When i first seen the trailers for this, all admit i gave the finger to The Brothers, but since the movie was released on dvd, I have watched at least 7 times, and yet to grow tired of it in the least.
