Speed Through the First Seven Minutes of 'Speed Racer'
Filed under: Family Films, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Trailers and Clips
If you're still trying to decide whether you want to go to see Speed Racer tonight, maybe this will help your decision. Yahoo has posted the first seven minutes of the film, which you can check out above. Man, if car races looked half that cool, I'd be a total fan.
I know, some of you aren't getting the whole appeal of this flick, and frankly, I've never been interested in the story until this movie. There's just something about a real-life cartoon that looks all sorts of cool. (I've always wondered what a cartoon-turned-live action film would look like if it was created in a more cartoonish manner.) And major props for making the theme song front and center. I remember how ticked I was when I left during the credits of Spider-Man and missed the theme song I had waited the whole film for.
Check out James' review of the film here, and stay tuned for Scott's review at 11:30AM.

Went to the midnight show with friends last night and I was surprised that we didn't end up in the hallway salivating and twitching uncontrollably due to epileptic seizures... That being said it was awesome!!!

i was expecting the worst from this, hated all the trailers and spots id seen, but i actually ended up loving the film. completely unlike anything ive ever seen before, definitely worth seeing on the biggest screen possible. ignore the reviews and go check it out for yourself, i reckon this will end up with a big following in a few years time even if it bombs at the box office

When the human eye becomes enamored entirely with the absolute lack of reality in everything surrounding the actors, like this plastic movie, something will have been totally lost in the human mind. There are elements haunting and wonderful about movies like Raiders of the lost ark, to name one. The textures of reality in the high quality imagery are essential to get you involved in the story, that is why they are classics, that is why Speed Racer will be one more failed experiment in the dawn of computer animated movies.

Unlike Ironman derivative transformers nonsense that is easy fodder for people who like that sort of thing - especially after theyve been told to - Speed Racer is intriguing, innovative and boundary streatching! There isnt anything like it an when was the last time you could say that. It has cult written all over it an if you dont see it on the big screen you'll seriously miss out, it's what is it you americans say? awesome!!

This movie is so not worth watching. That clip made up my mind that it is a nonsense, silly, pointless, and lame kids movie.
