Speed Racer Pics

By Doug - December 6, 2007 - 11:51 America/Montreal

Here is the first look at Speed Racer folks…we were made aware of these pictures though our friends at cinematical:

I am not very excited about these shots. This looks like a horrible sequel to the Mario Brothers movie. I guess we will wait and see, but this is not the vision I had in my mind when this film was announced.

    Wow! Those look really bad. My anticipation for this movie just went down by half and it wasn’t very high to start with. And why does it look like a very poor Tron rip off? Maybe it’s the helmet. You also have to love the look of determination on his face in the close-up scene. This is going to be a very bad movie….

    Tron inside a box of fruit loops

    OH HELL NAW!!! See thats what happens when u do a car movie all on green screen. Those pics look sooo bad, the close up shot, the family shot. Damn so much for that . It looks like a live-action version of that old hot wheels cartoon, does the story take place in the future. lol….damn we even managed to screw up speed racer….bravo hollywood….bravo

    IMO: those marvelous brothers should of been working on original epic sci-fi instead of this stupid bullshit.

    what a waste.

  5. Phil Gee says:

    Miles, don’t forget that one of those marvelous brothers is now a sister;)

    I see John Goodman in that picture and all i can think of is that Flinstones movie.

    The trailer comes out tonight so i’ll see if this thing doesn’t give me headache in motion (because it’s sure as hell giving me one right now).

    Absolutely terrible! Looks like something out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

  7. Raffydogg says:

    Man, Those look bad.
    It looks like Spy Kids: 3D

  8. RustyJames says:

    I prefer they adapt children’s cartoon rather than ruin another Alan Moore comic book. I think V for Vendetta proved this is more their speed.

  9. Kevin C says:

    It looks like a live action cartoon…

  10. LizardFreak says:

    what the fuck?

  11. Shinobi says:

    Raffydogg said it best…

    man this looks like a bad photoshop. I can do way better stuff on PS.

    I had high expectations for this since it was the whashosky(spelling?) bros… but my anticipation is at 5% right now.

    How can the creaters look at this shit and say “fuckin GOLD!”? I mean, that CLEARLY looks like complete SHIT! WOW!

  15. Kevin C says:

    In all fairness I think we will have a much better idea when we get a trailer. I will admit, it seems to keep the spirit of the cartoon. Im not blown away at all, but I can see it looking cool, especially during the racing scenes.

    Everybody calm down! There is one simple solution to all this, ACID! Come on, the UFOs are waiting in the 5th Dimension!

  17. louis says:

    look fucking unreal!!!!
    nice to see something different!!

  18. John A. says:

    I’m going to go against the grain here and actually say I really like what they are doing. Sure this could look like any other live action movie. No, instead they are going with a unique look with a really interesting colour palette. Yes its unique but that doesn’t make it bad.

  19. I don’t know what you guys are talking about. The goddamn monkey is a bad ass.

    Also the pics give a whole new subtext to the title character. They don’t call him Speed for nothing. Now we know the truth. Mark 5 is now called Meth 5….

    The Warchoskis took the red pill, then the blue pill, then the green, yellow, orange and white pill.

  20. Jeff says:

    A chimp in blue jean suspenders? I’m in.

  21. chris (the real one) says:

    to give credit….the monkey looks like hes gonna fuck somebodys shit up…..doesnt matter who

  22. cib3k says:

    Wow, the first 2 pics look amazing, I absolutely LOVE the colours; the exact definition of eye-candy. That’s one of the reasons I love video games, and this looks a lot like one. The last two photos simply suggest it will probably be more of a comedy than a serious movie.

  23. Alfredo says:

    I am shocked at how crappy those photos look. My jaw hit the floor. I’m in awe at how cock-shit bad those photos look. It’s like staring at the devil’s face.

  24. Steven C. says:

    ugly as fuck

  25. Kristina says:

    OH MY GOD they just showed the trailer on Entertainment Tonight. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! The stills don’t even begin to do it justice.

  26. Man, I’ve seen other sites where they say these pics look badass, and then all the comments agree. Here, Doug says he hates them and the comments follow suit. Looks like Chim Chim isn’t the only dancing monkey.

  27. bjon says:

    the trailer looks better than the pics.

  28. Tyaxle says:

    Anyone else notice the car has a 6 on it and not a 5?

  29. bjon says:

    Tyaxle, you’re RIGHT! What’s with the fuckin SIX!?? DAMN! Is it THAT fuckin hard to put a fuckin 5 there?!! Jesus!

  30. Kaneda979 says:

    LOL, damn, has bad kids movie written all over it. Really horrible use of bright colors, it’s like a bad acid trip. No thanks, I’ll just go watch The Incredibles, now thats a worth while kids action movie.
