DAMN

C..A..N.. N..O..T.. W..A..I..T

from the begining I said it.. this is gonna be the groundbreaking movie of the year (love it or hate it)

Oh, and for those who want more, Yahoo Movies haas a few more clips... some of them are super crazy awesome

* Note to self...score some mushrooms for Friday night..

That was horrible
I expected more from those guys, the clip is just... too cartonnish, even the transitions seem loaded. Overall, it seems to have to many distractions and very little content. Just like the last two matrix movies.
I actually liked animatrix a lot, and was hoping for *that* type of cartoonish instead of this.

Bahhh...

I must be high, I thought this was out already O_o

Not too keen on Australian actors, that being said I'm from New Zealand.
Anyway, Sparky... He seems about dry. But At the same time its frogivable. Still going to see it. Looks great.

"Not too keen on Australian actors, that being said I’m from New Zealand."

haha, okay.

This is going to be Tizight. because all the cool people say tizight.

Fail.

I wasn't impressed at all. I going to wait for the reviews before I see this one.

Meh!

They really want a video game from this one eh?

Still looks like a terrible film.

Seeing it in context made me want to see it even less. Looks like Spy Kids 3.

Captain Awesome:

Austrailians and New Zealanders have this weird rivalry thing going.


Also from the beginning I have said this will be the suprise of the summer. I think people are gonna love it!

I am very happy this clip shows Scott Porter's character Rex Racer. I am a huge fan of his since his superb acting job on the television series "Friday Night Lights." I cannot wait to see more of him in the film!

"I give this movie clip 5.... out of 5 stars" what happened to sexman by the way

I will wait for the dvd

1. That kid is annoying as shit.
2. That first scene looks like that man is a pedophile
3. This looks really stupid
4. This looks really stupid
5. This looks really stupid

Nobody will see this movie, biggest flop of 2008.

I wish they were releasing it in 3D Imax. Oh and if hunter doesn't review this movie on some sort of psychedelic he has no cred.

Looks kind of lame.

"Insane non-stop transitions"?

This is the biggest pile of suck that I've seen in quite awhile...

Like peoples' reactions here, the reviews are pretty clearly split between those who love it and those who hate it.

Here are a few of the more positive reviews ranging from 3 to 5 stars:

"Thrilling" and "triumphantly visual". (Empire)

"Visually astonishing...groundbreaking triumph". "The Wachowskis back on groundbreaking form". (IGN UK)

"The term 'rollercoaster ride' was all but invented to describe it." (Den of Geek)

"The kind of visual spectacle that demands to be seen - and preferably on the biggest screen you can possibly find." (Film4)

"An awesome, heart-thumping super-kinetic spectacle which will have you gripping the sides of your seat in terror and exhilaration." (The Telegraph)

"Speed Racer is a blast from start to finish. Five stars." (Cole Smithey)

Wow, talk about split opinions! I have been in on this since the first trailer. I liked that clip, but the computer screen didn't do it justice, which is why I will see this movie on Friday, or maybe Saturday.

Looks so corny :(
I love the original show, I wish they had kept a little more of the 60's style in the race track, costumes, etc. It's actually kind of a strange sci-fi 80's thing. Looks really tacky. Perfect casting, bad production design choices.

If I wanted to play a video game I could just stay home. That's probably what I'll end up doing. I don't like the world they created for this. It's just super corny, way too Spy Kids, like someone pointed out above. I hope they targeted this toward a G rated audience, because I doubt it will appeal to older folks.

I want my three minutes back.

This isn't even going to be worthy of putting on my Netflix queue. I'll happily wait for it to arrive on basic cable where it belongs.

The acting is terribly broad. I guess they are truly playing to the kids. Smart move WB since Iron Man has already won the older audiences. Might be this years Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

This is bad, very very bad. Only thing that could save this film is computer generated imagery. Pretty colours though.

It's going to be crap if you're over 5 years old.
I doubt I will see it.

GO GO MARIO KART!

YAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNNN, cant wait to see it on fox or abc

Again, I don't see why people are so negitve about Speed Racer. I think the clip showed that we are in for a wild (popcorn) ride and should be enjoyable to watch. I'll be watching this on the big screen for sure.

I honestly don't understand the hate towards this movie.
Yes, it's aimed at kids. It's rated PG. And I think that decision was brilliant. It's Speed Racer. Not Iron Man. It's going to have the same loony, feel-good, family cheer as the cartoon, but blended with a bar-raising, acid trip visual spectacle that will appeal to adults. Kind of reminds me Willy Wonka in that regard.

All the haters here, I'm certain, either have never seen the cartoon, or don't have an open mind enough to allow themselves to enjoy something kid-oriented.
Fine. Wait till Dark Knight comes around, and let the Speed Racer fans have their movie without your hateful complaints poisoning the fun.

Visuals=Amazing
Content=ZZzzzz...

Bad acting. Corny lines. No humor. Cheesy music.

My review would be "A Crayola box of epileptic seizures.....Fun!"

Holy Canoli...

I can't wait till this comes out and blows everyone away. I don't know what everyone is thinking but this just looks fanfuckingtastic. This scene is obviously in the first 15 minutes of the film... IMAGINE HOW FUCKING GOOD THE REST IS GONNA BE.

sorry if the scene didn't wow you. up to this point people have had an open mind and can see what great potential speed racer has or theyre sour jerks who think it looks gay.

The Wachowski's created the Matrix!!!!!! COME ON! They're ACTION GENIUSES. They're amazing filmmakers regardless of how bland and boring the sequels were... they're talanted and this looks like it might be groundbreaking. I'm fucking there.

And yes I will be stoned out of my mind.

@ Colecovision:

"Bad acting. Corny lines. No humor. Cheesy music."

Um, No.

The acting style in the movie is in line with the spirit of the cartoon. IE: fast dialogue and wide-eyed expressions.
Corny lines: Again, spirit of the source material. Which happens to be an anime from the 70's. To say the lines are corny is like saying the dialogue in Lord of the Rings is too Old English.
No humor: I see you haven't been watching the clips. There's plenty of silly gags, like ninjas flying out of windows. Hell, there's even a monkey! I'd say this movie is not in danger of taking itself too serious.
Cheesy music: Are you complaining about the Speed Racer theme song?? How can you bitch that the music in the movie is the theme from the cartoon?? And as for the score - it's Michael Giacchino who's a bloody genius! Haven't you listened the score from The Incredibles?

Holy Canoli, indeed.

I'm tired of vacillating on this movie. Last I checked I was hating it, but you know what? I'm just going to give it an open mind and the benefit of the doubt when I go. It's going to be what it's going to be.

This is an epileptics worst nightmare.
This is what happens when crayons throw up.

Visually, it looks pretty creative. Pass or Fail, I want to see what they do within this style.
Again, I want replicas of all the cars (and I swear I'm not a toy geek).
Face it, the audience for this is 40+(nostalgia) and their kids. Families are going to line up and, in that light, Speed Racer is going to be a hit.

They turned it into F-Zero! Where's Captain Falcon!?
