If anyone knows what Speed Racer is about, it’s the Wachowski Brothers.

If anyone can pull of a Speed Racer movie, it’s the Wachowski Brothers.

This film kicked so much ass peoples’ seats were glowing red.

Awesome? Not from what Iâ€™ve seen!

This looks like a marketing-driven bastardization of what they THINK Speed Racer is about. Emile looks to be completely incapable of pulling off his part (John Goodman looks to be an EXCELLENT pic for Pops!), and I donâ€™t get where the John Woo-esque slo-mo gunfights are supposed to be reminiscent of the original.

AND WHY CAN WE SEE RACER X’S FACE?!?!

This show was about a kid who loved racing, and his amazing car, and this looks to be one more over-hyped Hollywood embarrassment like the Hulk.

I wanted this to be awesome, as I have been a life-long fan, but nothing I have seen so far gives me ANY hope it will be pulled off.

This is a long over due movie. As a kid with no tv access because of big brothers and sisters I had to watch speed racer cartoons at friends house. This movie will be the biggest movie since Starwars. Special affects are excellent. The cars are awsome. The mach 5 looks just like the cartoon and they added a prototype in the begining I never seen, that was cool. You wont like this film if your square or lame

its hard to believe the original series of this was inspired by viva las vegas(the film) and goldfinger and that means those wondeful machines in this trailer wher basically inspired by chapparals and elvas and chevys(if you look at the mach 5 it looks like a chevy from the back. and the racing is a combo of drifting,60’s sportscar racing, and a hot wheels megafantasy. i only wish the fia would have this kind of racing.

I’m not sure about the runaway hit of the Summer, but they’d better already have boxed up plenty of X-box video games, because this could be the biggest selling video game ever!

With the mass appeal, the stars, the writer-directors, the stunning visuals, the marketing and the merchandising…

…I think this could end up being the runaway hit of the Summer!

There’s ‘films’ and there’s ‘movies’. Blade Runner was a film, in that it was more of a mental, thought-provoking sort of thing. Speed Racer is a ‘movie’. I mean… yeah, maybe there’s some extremely deep and sophisticated film here, and they’re just showing us the ten minutes work of action, but somehow I doubt it. So passing judgement on it using the same set of criteria as you would for something like ‘Schindler’s List’ doesn’t really work. It’s not trying to be that sort of movie. It’s just trying to be a movie where you can turn your brain off and have fun with a cheesy plot and high-energy action and effects stuff.

I have to say that some of the images of the cars all mid-air and flipping around in slow motion with dust and smoke billowing all over the place just looks amazing, and beautiful. I didn’t think I’d like this flick when I first saw some of the stills for the characters and frames of the movie, but seeing this stuff in motion is just awesome.

That main “actor” overacts and the dialogue is crap.

I’ll still watch it for the effects though.

If only real cars were that much fun!
Yes, I was a Speed Racer fan boy as a kid, and I’ll go into the theater with an open mind. It looks as if the makers wanted to nod at the toon aspect of the original, while adding the thrill of modern, state-of-the-art CG, and that’s really okay with me now. At first I was hoping for a more realistic approach, but realizing that no REAL cars could ever hope to pull off the stunts that the original series laid down, and the new movie obviously expands upon, I’m really alright with the semi-realistic world Speed Racer lives in.
Have fun at the theater, but remember you have to drive a REAL car on the way home! ;)

I hope this is better than the Thunderbirds movie from a few years ago. Speed Racer was one of my favorite after school cartoons when I was a kid. Here’s hoping for the best. Go, Speed, Go. MaHaGoGo!!!

You people must not have been around when Tron came out. NOW people say it was lame or something like that, but in ‘82, it was simply mind blowing. This has the same quality. You need to take this as what it is…a film that is hopefully entertaining. Spend your bucks at the theatre, and make a decision when you see it on the big screen. Bet you will be impressed with it.

Oh yeah, the Phantom Mach 4…Speed at point has no idea that Racer X is his brother, Rex. He’s always looked up to his brother with awe, and that’s exactly what is going thru his head…it’s not enough that he’s beating his opponents, he needs to be on the same level or better than his brother. So he’s racing his “dead” brother’s image, he’s throwing out there what Rex would be like if he was there… I just wonder if that last bit in the trailer is real (Speed finding out that Racer X is his brother), or imagined by Speed…? I’m thinking real, as the costume looks like Racer X’s…

Plus, the first time I saw a still from this movie it was of Hirsch in his racing helmet. My first thought was “Why does Jack Black have a ping pong ball on his head?”

I can’t be the only one.
