  • I kinda liked it, but that's mainly because i loved the racing bits.

  • This was actually fun to watch. I find it the LEAST offensive anime adapted to american film movies....but then again....I was watching it on DVD.

  • I hated this movie.

  • This movie bored me to death within 30 minutes

  • Horrible movie.

  • Comment removed

  • really? carate?

  • wow its the sega master system demo reel... how exciting

  • If you want to know what it's like to take LSD, Meth, and the like, without actually taking it, watch Speed Racer in HD

  • Better than sex - 5/5 or 10/10, 100% worth it and is an amazing well created movie.

    Full Price - A great movie that's worth the time and money value that it offers 4/5.

    Matinee - It's theater worthy but not perfect nor great or excellent as higher leveled movies, more like a middle 3/5.

    Rental - Near crap and isn't at all worth seeing at a movie theater but is OK to rent at home for a low price 2/5.

    Some 'ol bullshit - A trash movie that isn't good at all 1/5.

    F*ck you - Must I say 0/5.

  • This film was awful. Horrible bs.

  • this movie sucked

  • Mach Go Go Go!!!

  • "Unnecessary Dialog", remember, they advertised that the guys who brought us The Matrix did this movie.

  • metroidfreak123 you want some orange juice.

    "remember orange juice. i was 3 years old when my mom gave it to me fresh squeezed."

  • That was a balanced review. I'm wondering if to give this a rental, but you guys have convinced me...and made me laugh a little bit too.

    Thanks, fellas; good job

  • Here he comes, here comes Car-Lyle! He's a demon on wheels!!!

  • @PipBoyInfinite hes going 35!

  • Here he comes, here comes Car-Lyle. He's a demon on wheels.

  • freddiew can make a better video than this shity movie

  • 02:22 It is not Karate, it is Car-Fu.

    Its true, it says so in the game manual.

  • @spillcom Korey, DO yo want some orrange juice? just wondering...

  • 47 people don't remember their 1st orange juice! XD

  • Speed Racer is an awesome movie, nothing can match the awesomeness of this movie.

  • only thing i liked about this movie would be just the cars,but the green screen cg was crap,and the toony sky in the background,is it suposte to be day time or they thought it would be nice to add a cartoony sky in the background? :/

  • I never even made it through the whole movie. There should be a "download" grade for when it's so bad, you shouldn't even have to pay for it. This would be the first movie to get that grade.

  • two words, BEEHIVE CANNON!!! WTF!?!?!

    this was cool, but it was more like F-ZERO not speed racer, speed never drove on hotwheel tracks, it was always cross country.

  • After seeing this movie, I'm starting to question the minds of anime fans. I mean, they complain when an adapation isn't true to its source and they complain if it is true to its source... I'm starting to think their reason for hating American adapations of anime is the same reason they write off every single English dub, even the good ones, as being bad. At least spillcom wasn't too hard on this one and even gave it a recommendation.

  • @slashermaster28 Anime fans here. I must say, the 'fans' that complained about this movie is fucking hypocritical. Don't let them fool you, they didn't watch Speed Racer either and just wanted a scapegoat to attack Hollywood. The surrealistic racing scene that they complain about, that's exactly like in the anime: surreal, overblown and exaggerated. The actual flaws here lie in other places that those idiots with no movie criticism foundation never pointed out, which broke their whole argument.

  • @aquapendulum i actually did watch speed racer thnx to Mtv reruns & i have the dvds, this was cool & there were some nostalgic parts that made me & my mom cry w/ joy, but this was not speed racer, its more like f-zero meets IGPX. the mach5 was built 4 cross country racing, not car fu on hot wheel tracks. & pops didnt want speed to race! & no build up of sparkys char, hes sposed 2 be his best friend, yet almost no interaction w/ speed till the end. & as for being surreal, it wasnt THIS surreal

  • @giantshadow17 They all worked as a movie in the end. The surrealistic world actually works. The actual flaw here is when they try to film it as a traditional movie. In those sequences, all the bad actions, bad choreographies are laid bare to the audiences and it looks amateurish and got boring really, really fast. I mean, come on, overblown and exaggerated actions are what the Wachowskis do best, and here, there is many of those boring normal parts (the ninja fight scene crossed the line).

  • BECAUSEEVERYONETALKEDLIKETHIS. BECAUSEITWASVERYIMPORTANT. THATSPEEDWASTHENUMBERONERACERI­NTHEWORLD. ANDNOONECOULDBEATHIM!!!!

  • its called car fu

  • haven't really seen this one should i watch it .............. seen a little bit of the anime

  • this movie had terrible actors, Nicholas Elia is a terrible actor

  • it was enjoyable and fun to look at but the dialoge was awful and it was to long

    high rental

  • this movie made me feel like i was on acid and i wasnt but i should have cause i would have unserstood it better

  • "Hey, Corey, you want some orange juice?"

    "I remember when I first had orange juice."

  • when i was watching this film that in a car fight scenne the car yelled wahhhhhhhhpowwwwww

  • "This movie is like watching your friend play a cool video game on a 50 inch screen and they won't let you have the controller."

  • i hated this movie. it was all fake affects done by a green screen. its just a big migraine. i remember a scene tht they r just standing there, nd the whole back roud is still moving really fast. it was annoying. this is just a kids movie, even tho it was based off an adults childhood. in every scene, in the theature, i heard a kid yell, "mommy, tht was so cool" it was just a childs playhouse. i give it a pretty low rental

  • @BAP523 I am a big fan of the original Speed Racer cartoon and this movie is a piece of shit that has very little to do with the old series.

    Speed deserves better!

  • @junglemanlawyer1 Actually this was VERY much like the cartoon. The heroes were in-character--with more depth(you can only pack so much into a 1/2-hr segment). Over the top villains, super-powered cars, racing & how it effects the world, funny dialogue("Warning, this scene contains cooties..."). Heck, Trixie LOOKED LIKE Trixie!(tho' the slutty clothes were a bit much...)! True, some of the history is revamped like the C.I.B being the gadjit makers of the M-5, but why wud bullet proof a race car?

  • @Velocity9s I appreciated your comment, but in my opinion the original show was more serious and adult than the movie. Also it had more to do with cars and racing.

  • @junglemanlawyer1 I appreciated YOUR opinion in return. I guess we just saw the movie & cartoon from two differing points of view. I VERY MUCH appreciate your use of a good clean & to the point language without curse words. I call that mature & pro-American! I just noticed i goofed in my last post: I meant to type, "Why would Pops(in a more realistic setting) even put 'bullet-proofed' windows in a race-car in the first place?". In the movie, it made sence on a WRL influenced alternate Earth.

  • @Velocity9s Cool! I love the old cartoon and even today my little ones enjoy watching it. They own about 30 different Mach fives from the movie, and two collectors edition die cast of the original Mach 5.

  • @junglemanlawyer1 I salivate with envy...:P

  • Though the dialouge did get pretty long at times, this movie completely made up for it with some of the most stylish, kick-ass action sequences I've ever seen; the Casa Cristo race, especially, was jaw-dropping in theaters. Not that I hope every car chase is green-screened in the future. That'd suck. But it worked in this movie.

    Couple that with some cheesy yet really fun acting and a message about commiting to art that really touched me, and I give this a very high FULL PRICE.

  • '...He's goin' thirty-five.'

  • 4:00 Speed at a mental institution HA.

  • @MrXahim allah sucks ass!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hes goin 35

  • This is a FULL PRICE for me.

  • I remember orange juice my moma gave it to me when I was 4 years old fresh squeezed

  • it wasnt THAT bad... atleast it wascool to look at, because id have to give it a some ol bullshit if it was boring. luckily for it, i was never bored, so ill give it a moderate matinee

  • im a 13 year old kid and i hated this movie, too many god damn colours, gives me a fucking headache

  • @Jordan96CND same here

  • @Jordan96CND Does your mommie know you use language like that? Bet you're susceptible to the powers of the Force. I won't read your answer, but I'll pray for you. And this movie RULES!

  • The eye candy was cool, but definitely tiring after a while. HOWEVER, if you can look past that and see message of families staying tight together, fighting for what's right in spite seemingly insurmountable odds, and Speed's journey of self-discovery, it opens up a whole new level to this movie. I was surprised at how much I liked this movie, since I fully expected to not like it at all.

    Oh, and the orange juice thing is absolutely awesome.... LOL

  • Comment removed

  • I thought this movie would be terrible. Honestly the original cartoon isn't even that well made (mostly because its so old and low budget.) Anyway I thought it was really exciting and unique. I love the details in the tracks and the world like the running zebra design on the wall, you can see it in this review. I bet this would look great on blu-ray, I gotta watch it again!

  • @AlexanderArts the original cartoon was top quality in its time. its in the top 10 animation series of all time. this movie is bullshit, so fuck you for dizzin the original series..

  • "i remember orange juice..." lol

  • I think it would be cool in 3D I saw it in theaters and will say its full price but yeah when they give it on HBO or something I can never finish it its so long and my eyes do hurt

  • I remember orange juice.....lol

  • if you go to site Movie Watcherus then you can see this free lol

  • One of the worst movies I've ever seen.

  • I hate this movie already without even seeing it. It looked too cartooney to be bearable to watch at all... Just by seeing the trailer I could already tell that if I saw it, I'd hate it.

  • One of my favorit movies

  • 2 years later im still laughing at this

  • what's it called when it's a matinee film but you rent it a bunch of times?

  • Seriusly, I think this is the worst movie I've ever seen.

  • I hate to say it, but this movie was quite enjoyable.

  • @MTERM775

    WHAT?

  • The Wachowskis were on drugs... Yep!

  • This movie is kick ass. I have it on Blu and it is a great movie experience.

  • i fell asleep through half this movie i am an original series buff and i hated this movie and when i was bumped the movie was over so yeah some ol' bullshit for me

  • *Deep Voice* I remember orange juice.....

  • Fusion of aesthetics perfection and lovely surreal design beyond science fiction is this film all about, ¡Wachowsky Brothers rule!

  • Some ol' bulls**t

  • Racer X is a sick band too, Paul Gilbert FTW

  • totally boring cartoon...Review this is not. more like a group of friends just talkin crap. the review of the movie is the review of everything they will watch in the total future.  this is the review in the future....blah blah blah I think they will like it. for me NEXT!

  • @bluecaffeine

    dude to bad know gives a flying fuck what you think

  • @TCVB91 Apparently you give "a flying fuck" because you commented. Please just stop....no really just (crazy long pause) stop because no one give a FLYING FUCK about YOUR comment or comments on anything you might have a say in the you tube world. SAD dude. Very sad.

  • i bet the kind of drug they were on was crystle meth

  • this movie actually made me sleep through the middle of it its that boring

  • I thought this movie was like Epic upon Epic upon Epic!

  • Adaptations should match the audience expectations. The people who watch the old anime grew up and wanted a mature, no nonsense approach. Which I guess filmmakers don't understand. They still target kids who doesn't have a clue about Speed Racer, it's just not right.

  • shrooms makes this movie the best movie ever ahahahaha

  • go to your URL bar, put the a "Q" between the words you and tube, then press enter

  • Great movie! Hull Price all the way. def my fave

  • hahahaha good video

    i like juust saw the movie, i thought it was gonna suck, but it was pretty good, just wish they used less green screen cuz in some parts it looked really fake, but the plot with his older brother really surprised me, and sprittle was annoying as shit lol

    great movie for younger kids, even i liked it haha

  • i wish rex would tell the truth at the end

  • @shariar1995 ikr! when speed asked him if he was rex i thought he was gonna say yes, and then i thought he wasnt rex, then the end is when i found out that he really was rex, it had me thinking through out the whole movie lol

  • i knew he was rex from the start....

    and when he said he wasnt i thought maybe he had a plastic surgery and at the end i was right!!!

    btw wat is ikr! suppose to mean

  • ikr mean i know right, lol internet n00b! but yeah that scene was good, i really thought he was, he said no, then when he admited it at the end i was like YES I WAS RIGHT!!

  • lol im really not good internet language ...

  • @shariar1995 haha its ok, it took me awhile to learn alot of the the terms lol

  • @shariar1995 me too. i was sooooo mad when he didnt

  • i know right

  • Hot Wheels: the Movie

  • hes goiung 35 miles loloololololol the girl in big eyse was soo funny

  • some ol shit on a plate n shrooms

  • dude, I loved this movie. I expected it to be lame and was pleasantly surprised.

    I like how the point of the movie isn't "race because it is your calling." I loved how it actually had a plot. I wish real racing was like this.

  • low mat. but i love speed

  • Okay your too old to appreciate somthing completly different.

    This movie was better than sex

  • I would give this movie a Mattine. The character I hated the most was the kid that played Sprittle. I found him more annoying in the live action than the cartoon version.

    All that screaming he did during the movie, I wanted to punch him.

  • @MsKira1313,

    His name's Paulie Litt, if you want to go find him.

  • thanks, I didn't know his name since I've never heard of him before; but I am not gonna find this kid because I do not want to go to jail.

    I did feel he didn't protray Sprittle that well and he was really annoying with the screaming.

  • Yeah, I know. "Go, Speed, GOOOO!" Shut up, fat turd.

  • I remember the first youtube video I was 4 years old and my friend sat me down and went to that website. lol

  • low matena

  • Some old horse shit

  • LOL ORANGE JUICE!!!!!

  • LOL! LOVE THIS REVIEW! xD

  • some ol BULL Sh**t

  • yes

  • It could've of been okay...but the effects were mind boggling..good review

  • if i was to review this i would give this Some 'ol Bull Sh**t

  • Awesome movie !!!

  • ROFLMAO

    the orange juice thing made me crack up

  • Speed Racer was a good movie , worth a watch , bring ur brain alongwith you though coz u r gonna need it to understand the movie

  • this movie sucked!!!!

  • LMAO

  • 300 was a great movie. You stupid stupid man.

  • Ha. If that ain't sarcasm, it's still going to make me laugh.

  • This movie's ending was extremely epic. WATCH IT.

  • ~drools~ pretty colors... DARN this movie must have looked trippy in the theatres!

  • It did, trust me. I saw it in theaters!

  • Speed Racer made no sense, and was filled with scenes that could've gotten me blind if I was an epileptic and I saw it at the cinema. Especially 3:29. It wasn't bad or good; the original Speed Racer had 85% realism while this was kinda like some Mario Kart game on a lot of cannabis. 0_o

    If it had a better plot and visuals that weren't too cartoonish or epileptic, it would've kicked ass. A rental indeed, as long as it doesn't get rented on Blu-Ray! :O

  • Man, these reviews are really good. I laughed my face off when you that little girl biked past the screen.

  • High Fll Price!

  • Stay away from me cause in know CAR-FU OOOOOOOI YAAAAAAAAAAA

  • fuckin pisser!!!!HAAAA

  • Check my Page for a REVIEW of "District 9"!!!!!

  • lol he's goin 35

  • I couldn't stand the CG-Porn and crazy camerawork. Mind as well skip hiring actors and just made this a Dreamworks flick.

  • i didnt get the first part of this movie cause all the flash backs

  • I loved this movie and hope that they will come out with Speed Racer 2.

  • @andreaji6 i hated it. found it so boring, i turned it off after an hour

  • @andreaji6

    lol I can't belive your comment got thumbs up.

  • speed racer looks old in the movie =_= hes suppose 2 b like, what? in the anime he was like 17?

  • no offense to those fanboys out there but i personally like the old anime better than the new

  • Personally, I liked this movie a lot: I went in expecting to see a cartoon with real people in it, and that's exactly what I got. If you went in expecting anything else you were deluding yourself!

  • I REMEMBER ORANGE JUICE

  • I WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD...

  • When I saw this movie I almost had a seizure at the beginning and end. D:

  • For a film with trippy sfx and Karate with cars, this was the most boring film i've seen in ages.

  • Still Mathew Fox was still bad ass in the kung fu fight scene.

  • i remember orange juice

    lol

  • this movie was so booooring

  • ha ha i remember orange juice

  • Lolz they let kidz drive cars 0.o

  • This is not a bad flick and I give this movie: Matinee.

  • This movie was garbage. I didn't care about anything in this movie and the CGI races were booooring!!!! It was like watching plastic car toys race, but even when cars jumped or did stunts. The action was so fast, that there was no time to be wowed by it and why would you be. It's all in computer. There's no element of danger. This movie is a sad piece of shit!

  • You know what RetroVGamer your garbage just kidding but not really

    this is the best movie ever besides the star wars movies

  • this movie was shit.

  • yes speed racer one of my favourite movie so of 08

  • you are so deep man

  • God can't tell you how much I hated this movie. For one thing, the CGI looked cheap; it's like someone puked up paint and threw it on the backgrounds! The racing scenes were fun to watch, though; that's the only credit I can give this film. I give it a high Some Ol' Bullshit.

  • Thats ignorant

  • i dont care what they say, the flashbacks at the end made it soooo epic!

  • i just have to say this Speed Racer movie  RULZ fans of anime will love it

  • I liked it.

  • astroboy is the shit...

  • dang it looks so bright come on no one is high why does it have to look like the chocolate factory?

  • I actually liked this movie, did'nt expect much but it turned out pretty good, better adaptation than fucking DBE.

  • this movie was a plain old MOTHER FUCK YOU!

  • this movie was ok then again i seen it on imax

  • i agree with carlile the 2nd half of the movie was awesome

  • cartoons I remember cartoons when I was five years old I was waking up
