This movie looks all sorts of nonsensical, but I'm definitely going to see it. I'm a simple-minded fuck who likes over-the-top action movies, as long as they look good/interesting. And I'm excited to hear the soundtrack as well. I loved The Matrix and Reloaded's soundtracks (don't exactly remember any music from Revelations since I liked that one the least), so I hope the W bros. get some equally awesome artists on Speed Racer.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just got back from a showing of this, you'll find my thought at the end of this link, but the short version is: I thought it was awesome. Bright, silly, cool, fun and full of heart.

This is one I'll be picking up on Blu-ray when it hits for sure.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I agree completely, I'm not a big fan of the series (watched it when I was a little kid, but never religiously), but I thought the movie was a blast. I just can't understand a lot of the hate; the movie is about a kid named SPEED RACER that has a fucking fast car with superpowers, and girlfriend that flys a heli everywhere and his kid brother and monkey, who live in his trunk.

What did you seriously expect? As far as a good summer popcorn flick goes, this was as good as it gets for me. I enjoyed Iron Man, but not like I did Speed Racer.

It's the raping of childhood memories. RAPING!
Plus a nonsensical plot, evil computah effects, bad acting and a LIVE CHIMP! THE CRUELTY!!

But enough of playing devil's advocate.
I'm sure I'll enjoy the movie. What I've seen of Speed Racer was the remake-series, not even the original, and it never managed to be an ESSENTIAL part of my childhood. And even if it would have been... I loved the Transformers movie, even though it didn't stay close to the source material. I guess some people are able to see remakes and movie-versions as what they are, and others who cannot.
Just look at the douches dissing the new BSG for not being a gay Star Wars ripoff.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So, it's basically faithful to the source material.

How ya doing, buddy?
