Pretty much the same for me. Looks like an interesting world, and who doesn't like crazy over the top racing, right?castle007 said:I don't trust IGN, but I am going to watch it just for the colors :lol

This is correct.Teh Hamburglar said:IGN has the worst reviews on the web.
Empire Magazine said:Itll split the ranks like a pizza cutter: you might admire it as a Warholian blur of pop art, gawp and gasp at its Hot Wheels-for-real dynamism, or get a headache.

Didn't see it listed at Rotten Tomatoes...Wes said:Actually I think Empire's review came out first and that was 3 out of 5.
It's going to... really suck. But because nerds have no taste and will line up like lemmings for anything that jerks off their nostalgia addled tastes, it will make lots of money and more shitty movies will be made from licensed products that don't deserve to be resurrected as bad cartoons, much less movies.Mr. Spinnington said:jesus you're insightful, i'd sure like to hear more
That's pretty bad. I didn't know about this comic and I'm not a Waichowski fan. This looks like a freaky drugged down visual experiment of grand dimensions. "a blur of pop art" is exactly what I expect from this movie.Triumph said:It's going to... really suck.

How's that?

Anasui Kishibe said:you're wrong about only one thing: The japanese cartoon didn't suck. It had bad animation, I concede, but the script was ace..seriously, it was high level

More reviews are hitting...seems like the razzle dazzle is too much for some this ol' critics. OTOH, the storyline and characters seem (expectedly) flat and one-dimensional.
Still interested in seeing, as the races seem really awesome in the trailers...although I'm not sure how awesome are they gonna feel in theaters set to the movie's soundtrack.

Speed Racer was fucking awesome! I don't even know what to say. Time and space are somehow destroyed yet made coherent. Irrelevant yet utterly immediate. Or something. I can't articulate how it works yet, but it's pretty interesting. Aside from two people next to me that walked out early on, the rest of the audience dug the hell out of the movie. Lots of crowd reaction. Midnight shows like are a fucking blast.
Reading some of the reviews makes me believe some of these professional critics need to retire and move to nursing homes. Was A.O. Scott really confused by the opening half hour? I can't for the life of me understand how a non-senile adult couldn't easily make sense of the 3 or 4 shifting time periods. It sounds like a lot, and while transitions are visually seamless and quick, it's still damned obvious due to all the other cues upon switches.
Also, I sure as hell didn't know going into it, but Richard Roundtree's in this!
Heh, and there were more than a few moments where I really wanted to yell out "Raaaainnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!" :lol Colbert's voice kept popping into my head.

MechaX said:IGN with video games is one thing.
But I don't trust IGN's word with anything involving movies. I mean, didn't they give Iron Man a low rating?
Yeah, I'll just see this one for myself.
