I say it is a GOOD movie ^^ love it

Box Office figure don't look good. Estimated slightly over USD20mil on the first week. This kinda movie need to do good on the first 2-3 weeks. Too "niche" to last for many week.

If the current momentum continue, SR2 don't look too rosy.

In fact, they're calling 'Speed Racer', Derailed Racer...

It had prospects - - The Wachowski Brothers, Fast Cars, Insane Action...

Heck, I really really wanted to watch this film... guess I have to tick-it off my movie list for this year... probably watch on DVD...

It was just over-done, over-exaggerated and completely off-the top...

Hey, some like it, and some done. But most don't like it.

The box-office figures (US) are not good...

"No, Speed Racer. No."
-Daily News Maine

"Speed Racer intends to convey a sense of heedless momentum, but it drags painfully.."
- New Republic

FINAL CRITIC VERDICT :
"The Wachowski Brothers have overloaded Speed Racer with headache-inducing special effects, and neglected to develop a coherent storyline."


I am pretty sure of one thing - this film is probably not as bad as 'Eragon'... (vomit emoticon here)

well one thing's for sure - US taste and ASIAN taste are different.

I am not a speed racer fans, and I never watch a single episode of speed racer animations before. However, I am very impressed with the movie. Good effects and story execution. Although some might say its abit too colourful but hey, its another different kind of movie!

perhaps, not much people will enjoy it though. Luckily my friend who been forced by me to watch it still enjoyed it.

I like the way they shoot and edit it. its different yet interesting. nice.

dude wtf, just watch the movie and be the judge k,
as goldfries said, critics are the last people you wanna listen to about judging movies.

but problem is, now that uve read the critics views, you;d go to the movies expecting it to be bad and of course, it would seem bad to you since you have already judged how the movie would be beforehand, just toss all the critics reviews aside and go watch the movie with an open mind k.

critic is only the writer's comment. it may not be like yours. heck... i love Starship Trooper and its also universally panned. if i were to listen to critic, i would not have watch ST at all...!!!

depends on how big your hearts is. Speed Racer is not everyone's cup of tea. As i have said earlier, its a cartoon with real people inside. everything else is cartoon. If you think you can handle that then Speed Racer is actually a nice ride.

hehe. lemme tell you la, nowadays i just read LYN - those who watched the show would give feedback. those are good enough to decide.

i wouldn't other critics. that's the reason why they're called what they are. they are CRITICS.

let the box-office decide if you may. if it's enjoyable, people will tell others about it.

Just watch the movie yesterday. I loved it. The effect were cool. Can't wait for this movie to go 1080p.

waaa... macam best je... maybe i'll watch da movie diz week..

wah, even "Nama Saya Rain" kenot save this movie ah?

even when i first saw the trailer, my first thought was "is this a movie trailer or the new mcdonald's happy meal toy????"

just watch the movie man, but if you're into those dark and eerie movies, this isnt for you.

this movie is for cheerful people

yeah i agree man... do give it a watch before you make a judgement... to me it was worth it!

of cuz not... for a start Rain is only a bit part player. not bad for his acting. better then many singer turning in their first acting role.

I'm going to watch this movie tomorrow.

Just to watch my favorite singer.

yeah i agree... alot of singers stumble upon their 1st acting role but Rain handled it quite well.

I felt matthew fox's acting was good

damn good movie ! love it so much

the effects is awesome!

watch the movie yesterday. I liked it. maybe some part u'll get confuse and go "WTF just happen?" coz of the speediness of the racing part. the story line is kinda good and if u've watched the old Speed Racer, then u'll like this movie.

may consider wathing the movie and bring my children...

your children will definitely like it
