Speed Racer 7 minute preview: the images are burnt into my retina
http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/14/...movie-trailer/
Already being described as "being set in an oversized level of Mario Kart", this, if successful, will ruin racing for an entire generation of children. *7 minute preview http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/spee...ml?showVideo=1 |
I have about zero interest in this film. I think I'll watch Ben Stein's flick this w/e if I have time.
|
Didnt you get the memo.. Its better to turn our child hood memories into a fast and the furious clone then to do something good.
|
its very over the top but so was the cartoon. i remember seeing an episode where they were seeing who could jump over the most cars and it was a stack of cars like 50 high.In the cartoon the cars could fly/glide and speed had circular saw blades that came out of his bumper. so, idk what you would expect from a movie of it. it could never be a serious racing movie.

It's going to be hard be beat the FF series, but looks like they are going to be close.
|
I like the game better: http://www.addictinggames.com/speedracer.html

If it wasn't bad enough, it's based on a Japanese cartoon. If I remember correctly, one of the later remakes had Speed Racer travel through time looking for artifacts known as Wheels of Ezekiel. :?: |
thank you gigdy you're the first person to quote something i wrote.
and I don't think this movie can even be compared to "the slow and the curious". its just not related at all. |
Just watched the 7 minute preview. Confirms my fears. It's a caricature of racing culture. Almost insulting. F1+NASCAR+drifting on acid. "Cute" is as far as I'll go to complimenting it.

Sounds like the Saturday morning Speedracer cartoon made into a real movie ;)
|
Hahaha. Excellent. Negative reviews are coming in. Including titles such as "No, Speed Racer, No" and "Go, Speed Racer, Go Away".
