lol...man I can't believe they are making this. The cartoon was so corny back then and this movie takes it too another level.

[Daniel.]

Wow looks hella stupid.

[SexPanda]

man you guys are just hatahs. speed racer is the shit.

[IIIXziuR]

The cartoon was corny as hell but It had a cetain sense of awesomeness because of that. Like how everything was like super dramatic and the horrible english dubbing and names.

This movie is going to just be flat out stupid.

[jskateborders]

yea... that looks like a trailer that should be on mad tv or something. Really gay. how did they possibly get wb to fund that one?

[90KAcoupe]

man i grew up watching speedracer i thought it kicked ass.. i could care less if its cheesy or not... im probably gonna go see it... im just a hardcore speed racer fan... but i will admit the movie looks gay as hell.

[SNC240SX]

I always loved speed racer. I used to think about the theme song while i rode go carts when i was a kid. But this movie looks pretty terrible. Why are they making it so serious.

[kdashy]

Haha at least this shit is more than 2fps.

Broke ass japanese animators.

[kyoru]

man...like...wow..I have no words to describe what i'm thinking. Just looking at Speed Racer's helmet makes me shutter. Is this a joke?

[SochBAT]

Retarded Megaman helmet FTL.

[Helghast]

This movie has new cinematic technology.
Kinda like when the Matrix first come out.

well..it's it by the wachowski brothers.

it's gonna be the new standard soon.

[Dirty Habit]

Wow looks hella stupid.

/Thread closed.

[ManoNegra]

I'm intrigued and probably will end up watching it even though I have very little expectations of it being any good.

[Phlip]

See, I am a huge fan of the cartoon, so much to the point where I own all 5 volumes of the DVD set.
I am going to kill the Wachowski brothers in the faces if they fuck this one up like they dropped the ball with The Matrix trilogy.

I wish we could give them a re-do on the second and third movie.

[xamraci]

WOW...this looks dumb

[Neejay]

That looks like shit :(

[kyoru]

lol look what I found, looks close to the Speed Racer movie.

[DreamN]

^ OMG!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The movie looks cheesy and will probably be a huge failure, but I'll still end up wasting time dling it via torrent.

[jackjack]

FAIL on the cast.

dude from girl next door? i mean come on. i think with their budget they could have picked someone better.

christina ricci? no thanks. just dosent look right. crack whore-ish maybe?

what the hell are the wachowski brothers thinking? looks like something straight to dvd. ULTRA FAIL.

GO SPEED RACER................GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

oh and LMFAO at mega man. ahahahahahaha.

[murda-c]

wtf is that ugly new mach 5?

or would it be mach 6?

either way it's no where near as cool as the original.

[Antihero983]

eh......I LIKE IT!

[SochBAT]

Weakkk.

I think if they made the movie actually feasible, to hollywood standards, then it'd work out.

Matthew Fox looks like a homo BDSM flamer in that suit. Totally killed it.

[Flipzide]

It's so corny that I might actually enjoy it with a bunch of friends.

I don't like who they chose as Speed though... The whole time i was just thinking "The Girl Next Door"...

[Antihero983]

dude why on earth are they going to ruin mega man like that?! please tell me that was a photoshop......:(

[diomedes]

I never watched Speed Racer due to the fact that it was so corny. Now the live action one looks even cornier.

[SimpleS14]

dude why on earth are they going to ruin mega man like that?! please tell me that was a photoshop......:(


It's a photoshop......

this movie will blow total ass...why do they feel the need to make a damn movie out of every cartoon ever made...I kno its marketing but jesus

nice retard helmet btw

[sijia10358]

i remember watching that shit when i was 5 years old! lol

[ZX88]

i use to love the speed racer cartoons.....when i was 5 but ill probably see it. it really does look corny.

[alindeman1989]

i love the cartoon but i think the movie will suck

[BustedS13]

1.) mach 5 looks pretty true to the original, i dig
2.) sounds like they went for dialog that sounds like a bad dub. while i'll find this entertaining, the rest of the world is just going to chalk it up as bad acting. that's unfortunate.
3.) WAY TOO MUCH FUCKING CGI. I HATE CGI.
4.) it's got my 8 bucks

edit: here's a MONSTER PICTAR. who said this thing doesn't look right? it's practically the same, minus the fins.

http://www.aintitcool.com/images2007/srmach5.jpg

DOUBLEDIT:
what the fuck is that nasty looking mach 6 piece of shit? eat a dick wachowski brothers. ten to one odds somebody steals the mach 5, or wrecks speed, or something, and he has to unveil a sick new ride for the last race (hopefully just the last race). lame cliche bullshit. if you're going to not invent a new franchise, you could at least stay true to whatever franchise you're working with, instead of shoving a cock in it and trying to reinvent it with gay sex. i am, of course, assuming that the speed racer franchise is a man.

[bloodangels13]

its got advan tires! WOOT... otherwise it looks like butt

[BustedS13]

its got advan tires! WOOT... otherwise it looks like butt

so are you saying it doesn't look like the original mach 5, or are you just saying you think the mach 5 is an unattractive car?

[jackjack]

new trailer:

http://www.canmag.com/nw/10968-speed-racer-international-trailer

[cuddlesthesheep]

this movie looks absolutely amazing, i honestly don't understand the hate towards this movie, how sweet is that trailer. Its going to be ridiculous and its meant to be ridiculous.

[bluepanda523]

Not a fan, it looks too corny for me to pay ten bucks to go watch.

[cuddlesthesheep]

also i think they did a good job on the casting for racer x

[Baka Sama]

Its gonna be a dope movie, mark my words. Dont be lame an hate cause of the CGI. Take it as it is, a semi live action speed racer movie. I bet the colors would look really nice in Imax.. mmm. Imax.

[Gnnr]

FAIL on the cast.

dude from girl next door? i mean come on. i think with their budget they could have picked someone better.

Seriously. I don't like his face. His asshole face.

How can you fuck up the helmet? Geesh!

[jackjack]

^ahahhahah "his asshole face" ahahahaha i like that.

but anyway............. i'll probably rent it or something.

[BustedS13]

^ahahhahah "his asshole face" ahahahaha i like that.

but anyway............. i'll probably rent it or something.

this movie's going to be 100% visual... i think it's going to be fully necessary to see it on the big screen

[Gnnr]

This would probably look good if it where in IMAX 3D...too bad...

[BustedS13]

....was off the fuckin' chain!

saw it in imax tonight, my eyes started bleeding about halfway through. the style was just surreal, just balls out insane. it had some lolz, trixie is hot, he races the mach 5 in a couple races instead of that goofy fuck mach 6 thing, the jacks make the right sound effect.. shit was RAD.
ONE complaint. sparky has an english accent. what's that shit? he's supposed to sound like a retard from jersey.
well, two complaints. this movie isn't going to be nearly as entertaining on dvd as it was in the theater. do not wait for the home release. i'm going to go see it again saturday, back to back with iron man.

shit's intense!

intense like alpha team!

i can't overstate this.
MY EYES CAME.

[gabe30]

glad to hear.

i was kinda worried that it would be disappointing because of all the cgi

it's supposed to look blatantly cartoonish, so the cgi is welcome.

MY HEAD A SPLODE

Congrats

my bad broseph

[cuddlesthesheep]

just saw it as well, me and my fellow movie theater employees just had a screening, fuck thats an amazing movie. it blew my mind

[touge240monster]

definitely worth watching, dont think about it, just go see this movie

[Quail]

Is this aimed at the kiddies or will it appeal to the car heads? I'm tempted, but I don't know why I'm not drawn to it. Think I'm still dissapointed from the crappy Transformers remake!

[Flipzide]

It was off the fucking hoook... saw it at midnight with a couple buddies

if you liked the show, you'll like the movie. definately not just aimed at kids, imo. there's stuff to enjoy for everyone.

i was digging the music in the credits too and i thought it was fun trying to spot hidden advertisements from companies.

[BustedS13]

dude the advertising was so well hidden... all i caught:

Yokohama Advans
Autobacs
Sennheiser

the story is LIGHT in this movie, and it aims to be like the cartoon. but it wasn't about the story, it was about the completely insane visual..

[jackjack]

well then............ i might have to check this out after all.

[IIIXziuR]

....was off the fuckin' chain!

ONE complaint. sparky has an english accent. what's that shit? he's supposed to sound like a retard from jersey.



Yeah WTF!!!
How are they gonna deny us Sparky?!
I'm gonna check this film out, it looks really flashy and bright.

[Flipzide]

Yokohama Advans
Autobacs
Sennheiser

oh man! i didn't catch autobacs.. my friend was bugging me about it, but i didnt see it.

there was sea world too of all things... lol. sparco seemed to be the most obvious, imo.

anyway, if you liked the original show in some form or another, you're gonna like this movie to some sort of level.

Damn i live in jersey bro!! na j/p i might go check this out..thanks

[Helghast]

FUCKING EYE CANDY TO THE MAX.
Jesus christ, I couldn't stop smiling on how pretty this shit looked.

FUCK you alll HAAAAATERS.

[DRavenS13]

Too much hate in this thread.... I went to see the movie earlier today, it was actually pretty awesome. There was a bit more talking than I would have liked, but the effects were insane. They shoulda did it in 3-D imo.

[kyoru]

I really don't like the look but I have to go watch this to see if it's good, sounds like its pretty decent

[drftwerks]

this rules everything


http://youtube.com/watch?v=TPKJZJITZHw

did this work?

[NervGS]

So much fun, so pretty, and so funny.

It's everything the trailer offered, and more. Didn't think Spritle and Chim Chim were going to be so awesome.

He does the fucking pose too, it's greatness.

I wanted a nod to the Geico commercial in some way, too bad there wasn't anything.

[slider2828]

Saw the movie... Thought it was pretty crappy.... Middle was really boring, ending was ok and beginning was ok....

[HyperTek]

i remember they did a remake of the cartoon sometime in teh 90s and i watched that and it was kinda cool.. maybe ill have to see this movie

[Bubbles]

I

Must

See

This

.

[NervGS]

Go into it with no expectations. It's first and foremost a movie for kids and family, then it's for fans of the show.

That is the best method. I always do that so I wont be disappointed. There have been a few times in the past where everyone boosts a movie so high, so I expect a lot from it. Then when I see it, it's a disappointment to me.

[jimmytango00]

THIS SHIT WAS DOPE!!! its weird though cause for me it was one of those movies where you are watching and its kinda like whatever...but when you leave the theatre you realize "damn that was really good"


Its a great movie and honestly im glad it was made the way it was. It would of been lame if they tried to make it all serious.


GO WATCH IT!

[drift925]

this money was freakin insaaaaaneeee

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

honestly, speed racer cartoon sucked ass. What's next? VR Troopers the movie?

[ROGER]

my personal opinion is that the greatest thing about the cartoon is 1) the mach 5 itself 2) the insane races and the ungodly distances and obstacles. the movie looks cheesy x8 but thats probably the only way to convey the world of speedracer in live action since it would essentially be fast & the furious without the way out there races and stuff. all of us old enough to recall growing up on the reruns and whatnot also have to realize the movie exists to make money and connect with kids of today. they could have bridged the gap a bit better though. after transformers, theres no excuse for that much disconnect, PG rated or not.


sidenote: i will check it out just to see if they have the mammoth car in a race!

bad news, no mammoth car. there IS an enormous semi that i think was supposed to kind of resemble it.

[BustedS13]

just saw it in imax again with a couple d00ds. the reaction from everyone i've talked to so far about it has been "i thought it looked/sounded horrible but i enjoyed it anyway". really sucks this movie's bombing, i love it.

[an_orange_s2k]

all the cg kinda gave me bad taste. everything was so unreal..but i did enjoy the movie nonetheless.
