We are getting a lot of negative buzz about Speed Racer and recently we showed a clip of the movie and people are all coming in with the same complaints.
Too many colours. Gummi Bears puked on the screen then exploded. Twice. The action is campy. The acting looks cheesey.
Unfortunately for those naysayers those are the very qualities that are going to make this movie a hit – for adults and kids. Intentional cheese is often a wonderful choice to go with your fine wine. It might stink on its own, but thats why you like it.
Yahoo found this painted on the walls of their caves and decided to share it with us.
Now this is the same 3 minute clip with a little more of the backstory padded on the outside edges, so its not TOO much more than we have already seen. But it does show off the stylized look they were going for, which gives you a heads up so you don’t get offended by it when your kids make you take you to this movie.
I think this is going to be another Repeat Offender to add to my boys list, and I don’t expect I will mind.
