Speed Racer

Re: Speed Racer

I enjoyed the movie immensely. I enjoyed it more than Ironman. This movie was a feast for the eyes.

Re: Speed Racer

I walked out. I seriously walked out and think that both of you are borderline disabled.

Re: Speed Racer

Pure fun doesn't mean a bland cliched story that you know the ending to before it begins taking up most of the screentime, the driving portions being semi-followable were the only good part, but mostly the flashy 60s retro future look detracts from any sort of aesthetic enjoyment.

TL;DR bad plot, bad style

Re: Speed Racer

I want so badly for shox to be right.

Re: Speed Racer

Ben Kenobi getting killed = What? Where did that come from?

Darth Vader being Luke's father = What? This changes the entire movie series!

Just because they're family films doesn't mean they have to suck. Ratatoullie was pure escapism and I loved it, because it also had heart, a great story, excellent actors, great animation, and it was funny.

Speed Racer has none of those things. It's hyper stylized, somewhat mean, tired performances, and the humor was way forced.

Re: Speed Racer

Gee I want to watch a movie that requires me to stop thinking.

I'm sorry but staring mindlessly and a bright screen with my mind on "blaaaaaaaaaah" mode isn't what I would call "a blast"

Re: Speed Racer

this movie is too bright and colorful, a person with epilepsy would watch 10 minutes of it, have a seizure and die

Re: Speed Racer

I refuse to see it, because although the theme of speed racer is an awesome one, it needs to be changed to be darker and more evil, much like they did with Transformers.

Speed Racer is a terribly drawn overcolored piece of crap from Japan, so the movie shouldn't be a terribly acted overcolored piece of crap from America. It should have been much darker.

Re: Speed Racer


Man I'd laugh, then I'd feel bad when they die.


What's this? is it real?
Omg I just

As a porcaution, if you really have epilepsy do not click on the link.



EDIT: Other then that, i personally like the movie.

Re: Speed Racer

Gosh, isn't speed racer another way to say, "hot wheels"?

Re: Speed Racer

What the ****.

They did not make Transformers darker or more evil. They just transplanted it into modern day Earth and sprinkled in a dash of realism for the visuals of the transformers so it didn't look so ludicrous. They also cut out stupid **** like Megatron turning into a GUN. They didn't throw in any extra dark mood that wasn't already present in the original show, if only represented poorly due to the art style.

Seriously, check out some of the source material for Transformers. You might as well say V for Vendetta was made "darker and more evil" or that The Flintstones was made "darker and more evil". It's just so stupid.

Personally, I think it looks like it'd be interesting and I do wish to see it, if only for the unique look. And yeah, it has a cliche story, but it's not like that's nothing new in the film biz (irony). However, I read a review and it said it was like 2 hours long. That's ****ed up. A film with this target audience, with this emphasis on visuals, based on an old kiddie show, should not be that long if it's not deep.

ps people talking about overcolored and **** clearly have no idea what they're talking about because the only similar hues that show up on the old show are in the "intense" backgrounds of color patterns. The tracks and visual designs are a lot more like realistic roads and such.

Re: Speed Racer

Frankly, that seems like a very retarded stylistic choice to make.

Is there some kind of symbolism I'm missing?

Re: Speed Racer

Yes. Big Brother is everywhere, the mega corporations will always keep tabs on you, etc. Remember, the Wachowski's were the people that put V for Vendetta on the big screen.

Re: Speed Racer

I haven't seen it yet. I remember watching it when I was little.

Re: Speed Racer

But the idea that a corporation is behind the scenes, pulling the strings on 'life' is a definite theme. The movie carries a strong anti-conglomerate message. No denying that.
