I don’t know why everyone says it’s crap. I loved it… It completely amazed me… I was thinking it was gonna be a half@$$ed movie that was just a big waste of time and money. I thought it would be on the same level of crappiness as like… My Gym Partner’s A Monkey, or some other new cartoon that disgusts me with it’s mindless babble….
But no….

No no no no NOOOO my dear friends… IT WAS SPECTACULAR!

On the same level as Boondock Saints, Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Iron Giant, Idiocracy and every other EPIC movie (granted they are all awesome in their own unique categories )

I. Love. It.
:]

@ Leah You said “Overall, Speed Racer had a nice opening night, and it seems to be having a great run.”

Speed Racer was met with HORRIBLE reviews, and was third at the boxoffice in its opening weekend. Worse, it was behind a poorly anticipated romantic comedy.

I dont know what movie you are talking about but this is setting the example of the OPPOSITE of a “great run”

I don’t know what part of the screenplay amazed you since all of the dialogue was cheesy, and the story was weak. It was eyecandy for the kiddies and unfortunately they are the only ones who seem to be appreciating this film.

This clip is a horrible misconseption of the movie. They didn’t include any of the amazing graphics, the better dialogue, or anything else that would make this seem like a more amazing movie.

I saw this movie opening night and the screenplay amazed me. As a screenwriter myself, I truly recommend this movie as a treat for the eyes. Sure, it gets a little cheesy sometimes, but its Speed Racer, what else can you expect?

Overall, Speed Racer had a nice opening night, and it seems to be having a great run. I really recommend this movie for anyone wanting to get in touch with their inner child… or anyone who was a fan of Speed Racer back in its cartoon days.

I guess I am too old for this. Looks boring. Maybe my 5 year old nephew will enjoy it…

Unbelievable that posters on this thread praise Transformers and then criticize this clip for it’s bad dialog. Transformers set a new standard in ridiculous dialog.

Unfortunately I think too many commenters, lead by John’s prejudging of a product they haven’t yet seen, have taken a stand that they hate this movie before even giving it a chance. I have a feeling this will be like Cloverfield, where we got advance negative declarations, then a reluctant positive review and then lots of hand ringing and disclaimers about how they liked it but they still dislike it, all because they have to defend they’re preconceived notions and public statements denouncing the film before it had been screened.

It could well suck, but just as easily be a joyful piece of popular entertainment, and could just possibly be another transformative moment for filmmaking process and technology.

I wont judge until I’ve seen the film.
