  • I own an original copy of it, I love this movie, don't care who directed it, who made the soundtrack or what did the actors in the movie play before or after this one, it's just thrill to me:b

  • As an avid fan of the original Speed Racer, I was disappointed in the way the Wachowshi brothers pulled this movie off. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't close to the show at all.

  • Even the old anime wasn't this ridiculously bright and seizure-inducing, nor did it have crazy stupid characters in gaudy and garish clothes and no character depth.

  • If you have seizures you should have enough brains to be careful about what kind of movies you watch.

  • Occasionally, the movie dials things down and tries to remind us there are human beings in the movie by giving them painfully false "character moments. watch it online with great quality at

  • What's so false about them exactly?

  • Occasionally, the movie dials things down and tries to remind us there are human beings in the movie by giving them painfully false character moments... watch this movie online with great quality at

  • dude this movie was fucking mind blowing. i was blazed when i saw it but i loved every second of it. the final race was so epic.

  • The anime was hilarious.

  • I loved it. I don't understand why it wasn't loved. I thought it would have at least broke even. It's the perfect adaptation of the cartoon. Two Thumbs.

  • @DementedBCecil I agree. The graphics and CGI backgrounds were incredible (seeing that this movie was made by the Wachowski brothers), but as an avid fan of the original Speed Racer, I was also disappointed in this movie as there were too many variations from the original concept. Another live action adaptation of a cartoon that comes to mind is Inspector Gadget, again because the director tried to improve something that didn't mean improving.

  • RAIN!!!!!!!!!

    the only reason i watched this is because rain is in it XDDD

    ummm...white haired? hmmmm *____*

  • Oh god, the whitehaired asian *__*

    He's so hot *_________*

    Me and my friend drooled as we went to watch the film xD

    It was so awesome!

  • his name is RAIN (BI in korean)

    is a korean singer, actor and model....

    his so hot ^Q^

  • Trixie--->meet Lyrical Love831

  • the white haired one isn't jap

    he's korean

  • I couldn't get pass the first 15 min.

    100% crap.

    If this movie is so good, why did it lose 100 million?

  • i have seen it twice great stuff

  • Surprisingly awesome film. I went in confused as to why such a thing would be made and came out feeling as though they justified it. Really exciting, strangely compelling, and extremely visually interesting. It doesn't translate well to Youtube, but those candy colors and speed lines look pretty good on the big screen.

    Wish Park Joon Hyung got a bigger part, though. Rowr.

  • thanks for the post... i didn't know if my kids would like it so i looked here, now i'll have them go!

  • If you're really sensitive to language, they do swear a few time and there is some suggested violence involving piranhas. None of the heroes use guns to shoot anyone and there are some great family values, though.

    So it may be questionable for kids who are too young, but it's good for everyone else :)

  • It's a PG movie, but it doesn't feel like it. I'm 19 and I enjoyed this 2 hour long "ride".

  • Okay after I saw this trailer.... it made me feel less angry... but I am still angry! :/ What have they done?

  • This is my fav movie at the moment :D

    I loed the two japanese guys, especially the white-haired one *Q*

  • i might see it today!

  • dont be mislead by the comments and reviews.i went and saw the movie it was great.a good movie with alot of action you have to just love racing and cars to get it.

  • thanks for the advice, didn't know if it was worth going to tonight!

  • OMG O.O

  • terrible terrible acting, wont go anywhere. should go strait to dvd

  • lol monkey

  • i actually thot this movie was pretty awesome. and not gay as u think.

    u cant appreciate art when u see it. and duh. i hated the anime one. but i loved this one.

  • well... so much for an F-Zero movie... I don't think I'll like this one for one reason and one reason alone... their lips match their words... :)

  • i dont really mind the effects and shit but wtf duz the whole futuristic shit have to do with anything

  • yup, it looks CHEAP, colorful, childish, this will just be another captain sky bs

    the entire movie must have been recorded againt a green background,

    thats why i like fast and furious, most of that actually happened, unlike this

  • wow they TOTALLY americanized and gayed this whole shit up. speed racers supposed to be asian, and the live action looks like foolish shit. shoulda made it entirely 3D like what square enix did to the final fantasy movies. count on america to gay shit up.

  • FUCK YEAH IVE BEEN WAITING 4 THIS

    not quite like the original but yeh thats a good and a bad thing...i mean u gotta make changes i gess just take a look at transformers

  • no, you don't have to make changes the original stuff it's just fine, It just have to lower the level for first world average Joe, blinking lights, shiny colors, same-old-love-story-background­. .. Hate when they mess with anime

  • men,this movie is like a hot wheels...they're driving in a look-a-like hot wheels tracks...very good...much entertaining than any other racing movies...^^,

  • the original series was great, but this movie looks like one of the most fucking retarded things ever. i mean the setting, the background,

    the racetrack, EVERYTHING looks so stupid and cheap.

  • Definitely and more than never are those adaptations truly terrible.

  • Yeah. ._.

    Me and my boyfriend are gonna go see it and criticize the whole thing. :p

  • You don't have a boyfriend.

  • o.0

  • MMMMM CHEESY.

  • my mum said that that B the korean singer is in this movie, meh...

  • WHAAACK

  • wow...

    i can't wait to see it!!!

    got RAIN in there!!!

  • F zero movie please.

  • Excellent!!! I was a big fan of this cartoon series when I was a small kid (circa 1968 to 1970) and when MTV rerun it I was euforic. But now I can´t believe they actually made it a movie!!!

  • One word: Racer X! Go Speed, Go!! This brings back memories!!

  • you sound like a dumbass yourself. Its entertainment douchebag, not trying to be a "high brow" cinematic event.

    get a life retard

  • Has anybody even seen V for Vendetta? Wachowski Brothers are amazing, the matrix is not their only good film.

  • lol he called the matrix a good film.

    There were so many problems with those movies, but the problem is they were to good, which made them really shitty and annoying because of the people who watch it, because now its related to almost anything in life for as long as our generation is alive. Try to learn martial arts? you get jackass shouting "OH SNAP SON LOOK AT MATRIX!" you wear a trench coat? "Oh damn look its neo!" but then again, i guess i should just say people are dumb, not the movies.

  • if you haven't seen the movie and think it's going to suck, then you're dumber than i or any one else thinks. the wachowskis are fracking genuises, and you ought to give the movie a chance. as for the movie sucking, i have one thing to say: tom cruise in days of thunder...that sucked bloody hemmoroids!

  • The Wachowski brothers suck. The only good movie they made was the Matrix.

  • let's see....so the only good movie they made was the matrix...in my book, this means they get some leeway to try something! for the most part, the movke wil disappoint somebody, but i'm willing to give these guys a chance.

    after all, it is an amusement...and i'm willing to go for the ride. maybe you shouldn't go to the theater and save yourself the bucks.

    GO SPEED!

  • yay bi!!!

    i've waiting for this so long!!!

    he's finally filming a movie in AMERICA!!!

    WooHOOO!!!!

  • It looks like a combination of Spy Kids and Disney's Cars.

    This movie's going to suck.

    The Wachowski Brothers suck. They ruin everything.

  • it would be so much funnier if they talked fast

  • Aw this is almost as horrifying as the april fools Zelda movie (only this isnt a fool)...

    It looks like they got speed racer and mixed it with spider man and all those generic other "REVIVE THE PAST" movies.

    I dont believe anyone could make a decent speed racer movie unless it were cartoon/directed by the original creator.. otherwise its just re-made junk to try scrape a few more dollars from the willing.

    G A Y

  • Its bout damn time they made Speed Racer in to a movie!!!! >:

  • actually, the timing was important! any earlier and i think the special effects wouldn't work! and would have destroyed the movie.This trailer looks pretty good! but we'll see!

  • THe special effects don't work even now, the have destroyed the movie.

  • i want them to talk like they did in the anime D:

  • ._. .... Wow this looks horrid. It's like they didn't take Speed Racer seriously at all! The movie would have been much better if they had taken a serious approach. And the actor choices are terrible! Some of them look TOO much like their character ( John Goodman, WTF?) and others look NOTHING like them ( Speed >_> ) The movie's way too exaggerated. Did they honestly think THIS crap would please the fans?

  • The movie looks like it would be deliciously awful. Just like the original cartoon was.

  • Looks incredible! XD

    Go racer X!

  • Ha the monkey they used is the same one from "Grandma's boy!" They should have used the girl from "little miss sunshine" as wendy, why is wendy a little fat boy now?

  • The races remind me of F-zero X.

  • This movie looks like it's going to do well. I'm a big fan of the original series--watched every episode as a kid. And as a grown-up.

  • wow this looks like an awful movie

  • Well 885808326 Have You ever seen the show?? speed racer is an AMERICAN Anime MADE BY A WHITE GUY DUMB FUCK he was made to look like a white guy cus he is a white guy ^_^

  • Hell yeah.

  • >_> Have YOU ever seen the show? Speed Racer is a Japanese anime made by a Japanese guy. And he was made to look like a Japanese guy because he's a Japanese guy. C: While I think the actor choice is fine and the movie looks like it will be decent, get your facts straight before you criticize someone else about their opinion.

  • who the hell would want to watch this!?!?!? the racer was supposed to look more asian not one of the whitest actors in the history of filming!

  • RACEST!!!

  • thats not a word

  • lmao good one

  • who the hell would want to watch this!?!?!? the racer was supposed to look more asian not one of the whitest actors in the history of filming!

  • who the hell would want to watch this!?!?!? the racer was supposed to look more asian not one of the whitest actors in the history of filming!

  • I think that they do and so far it looks like they may have learned something.

    You also forgot that gawd-awful Dick Tracey movie.

  • Quit bastardizing my memories, Hollywood.

  • Sweet!! Rain Bi is in here!!! YAY!!! He can sing and act!! Whoop whoop!!

  • im the number one speed racer fan

  • "by the way I don't remember the M on his helmet looking sort of like a McD logo.."

    The "M" has always been there it stands for Mifune, the original Japanese character's name, Gō Mifune, and their family company Mifune Motors.

  • The original cartoon was the best, I wish sometimes things could just be left as they are! (Thank God they haven't touched my favourite, Sailor Moon! *touch wood*) I do get a kick out of the cheesiness and formulatedness of it all all, though! LOL I'll probably see it just to make fun of it. :P

  • Yay another crappy movie...

    I'd rather wipe my ass with sandpaper than watch this movie!

  • I watched speed racer when I was young and I was excited when I heard there gonna make a movie but now after I see the trailer I'm a little skeptical. The effects remind me of some Dr. Suess movie. Which works fine for the Dr. suess movies but doesn't seem right for speed racer. Well I'm still gonna watch it anyways jsut because Bi is in it. I hope it's not a total failure.

  • I don't remember custom tracks in the cartoon. It was always open road courses, right?

  • You have a point there...

  • yeah, it's gonna suck. but im still going to see it xDDD

  • this movie is gonna be awful and i loved speed racer

  • I'm gunna be blunt here. It looks like it's going to suck, looks like nothing more than those cheap hotweels movies shown on cartoon network, and the animation seems cheap. Isn't that John Goodman? I don't really see a plot, but that might draw some to see if there is one, but that's a big risk. why are there fighting scenes in a racing movie? You must handle Live-action versions of cartoons with care, or else you end up like Alvin and the Chipmunks movie with absolutely no plot.

  • omg! Why'd they make it look so horrible! It better b rated at least pg-13. If its G, den its def gon suck. N watsup wit da fighting scenes?

  • This movie doesn't look good... Stupid "hotwheels" style movie. But i respect you if you like it.

  • yayy bi's(rain) in this movie=]

  • This is so..... I dunno, I'm speechless |:

  • This has got to be one of the most ridiculous movies they could possibly make!

  • Shit sorry to hate but i gotta tell the truth.

  • def goin to watch this high hope its in 3d

  • this movie looks so waldo, its insane. It brings back old memories of watching the cartoon when I was little

  • Speed Racer was a Japanese anime, it's not from Spy Kids, it's way cooler and much older. It was called MachGoGoGo. As for the vintage part, it first aired in the 60s so maybe that's why. I don't know. Shutting up.

  • it looks awsome but i wish they hadnt gone with trying to make it too vintage...

  • that....looks...awesome!

    in a totally kitsch way,but awesome none the less=D

  • The effects look like something out of spy kids 3d. looks really lame.

  • cheesy or not i'm watching this movie because rain is making his debut here.. go rain!!

  • cheesy or not i'm watching this movie because rain is making his debut here.. go rain!!

  • cheesy or not i'm watching this movie because rain is making his debut here.. go rain!!

  • after watching into the wild only a half hour ago it is weird to see emile hirsch in a movie like this lol

  • movie looks a little goofy...

    but im gonna see it anyway, because im interested in how us americans are going to simulate the old stylings of speed racer :D

  • rofl...Speed Racer FTW...first of all...don't doubt the Wachowski's...they have down all good movies...this one is different...think about it, it's not an original idea that they created, it's a classic...and also...remember the TV show? It was beyond cheesy...so this is pretty much the only way to go...anyways...like I said, Speed Racer FTW! (And Horde too!)

  • looks kinda gay, but lets wait until the final movie

  • dang okay now im starting to doubt the wachaoskis, im expecting them to alter this to a more realistic level but from the looks of this trailer it looks like those cheap only-to-sell-crap movies like acceleracers with a mix of that mexican movie sharkboy and something girl XP

  • NO IT'S NOT OKAY!!

    fuck american speed racer.

    IT'S ALL ABOUT ASIAN PEOPLE!!

  • wow...are u serious...this movie looks like its gonna be gay as hell. You can sooo tell they're using green screen when it shows him inside the car.

  • It looks too fake or whatever.

    But RAIN is in there. Woooot. <3

  • That looks like total shit..the race scenes look like an ad for McDonalds toys and Emile Hirsch is a faggot

  • yeah men this movie is a load of crap i think i was watching a max steel ad

  • when i saw the trailer in the big screens it was all animated including the people in it now quit talking shit, anyway it's cool

  • i'm not sure if it will suck but the race scene animation looks cheesy....

  • Itwasprettycoolbutithoughtthew­aytheytalkedwithabigrunonsente­nceshouldhavebeenspoofedinthem­ovie.

  • damnigotdizzytryingtoreadthatH­AHA

  • well, i'd like to say i also gre up watching speed racer, & after seeing the trailer for this movie i also have to say that it looks to be as cheesey as the anime, but nothing can take away from the anime tho.

  • WTF? This movie looks like shit! They fucked up a good thing and nobody in Speed Racer was white! Wow!

  • okay.. what the fuck. why don't they quit fucking up japanese things?! NOBODY IN SPEED RACER IS WHITE!

  • OMG this gonna suck so bad.

    even worst than spykids.

  • omg they made it look like a mockumentory. speedracer is set in the 50s ahh that movies guna suck.

  • i dont like it, i wont be seeing it even if it is only 8 bucks i dont want to make the actors any richer for a movie that doesnt seem that great .

  • sorry but that snot how it works by the time the movie is in the therter the actors aleredy have there money the film sells itself to the therters and the therture sget money from yopu so the only person yuo rputting out of business is ma and pa cinemaplex

  • whoa, speed racer...

    and omfg, it's Rain! lol

    i gotta see this shit

  • I remember watching the cartoon when I was a kid and thinking - this is f u c k i n g stupid!

    Yeah, I'm sure the movie will be totally great.

  • I love how everyone flames everything that is turned from Game to movie, Anime to Movie or whatever....it's ridiculous, shut up and see it if you're a real fan, it's only 8 dollars for crying out loud, it's not a life altering loss if it's not worth it...

  • looks okay, can't really say much from this trailer. The anime is classic though nothing can ever ruin that...

  • wtf bi-rian (asina singer) going to be in this dumb movie? disappointed shit.

  • i hope it ends up like the transformers movie

  • reminds me of F-Zero GX on gamecube for some reason...

  • This looks like some crappy Hot Wheels movie that never made it.

  • this movie is goin to suk they ruind teh anime D:

  • the Dragonball movie will b better lol

  • They're coming out with a DB movie?

  • ya its comin out August 18

  • Give me proof!

  • You can polish a turd but it's still a turd.

  • Hahaha, I can't believe how crappy this looks, I need to see it!

  • This movie is just gonna suck. But shoot I still want his car. MOCK 5 4 LIFE

  • Hahaha!

    Speed Racer?

    Seriously?

    My god!

    This movie is going to be the most trippy, crappy movie ever.

  • this movie is going to suck big cock

  • Rain!! He's the only reason I'll go see it.

  • hahahaha same here. i just wanna see RAIN!!!!

  • was there martial arts in the original

  • NO. That is just some crap to make you go see it. Its like putting Jet Li in it and Jackie chan as the driver.

    GO JACKIE GO!!!

  • jet li starring as the pet chimpanzee

  • One asian in the whole trailer......WTF is up with that?

  • you know speed racer and mostly all the other anime have a lot of violence edited out of it in the American dub even speed racer! This movie is a little too cartoony and like the anime for my liking.

  • Did anyone notice his white socks? I miss the blue ones :( I also miss the choppy talking. And the "ooh, oooh!" when he starts going to fast. And I think it's less the "cartoony" factor, it's just too futuristic to be Speed Racer. Did you see Trixie's little headset? It was crazy! "Move it Speed! It's getting ugly out there!" Yeah, lame sauce.

  • Oh! I also miss his ascot :(

  • This looks bizarre

  • the helmet makes him look stupid

  • OMG RAIN heheeh

  • ugh....looks shitty but the only reason Im going to see it is for Bi Rain...soooo happy he's in a film I can buy and bask in the awesomeness that is him. (He's the asian guy at 1:20)

  • Biggest disappointment is the fact that only 1 character seems to be talking the way they do in the cartoon series. If you're going to spend millions on CGI, and take the time to make a movie based on a show that's been around this long, then at least do it right. Gonna see it anyway.

  • but...they...arent...talking..­.likethis! OH!

  • Fuck U all

  • Yey!! Rain is going to be in it!! I might sound like a fangirl, but really, there is no other reason to see this movie than being able to see Rain in the big screen!! It's too spy kids anyway

  • this looks so fake....omg... and whats with all the bright colors and the fat kids. The fighting also looks really fake. God this might be as bad as Spy kids....

  • There are ninjas in it, therefore you suck.

  • spy kids 2 actually had good ratings (3 stars out of 4), so by saying that your saying that this movie is good

  • I think that people are forgetting that this is supposed to be a film for kids more than it is a movie for adults. Find me a kid who doesn't think this looks awesome and I might agree that it is going to be bad. But I think you would be hard pressed . . .

    This movie seems to me like it is going to be cool, and the fact that it doesn't conform to the violent and super-realistic standards that exist in R-rated movies and video games today doesn't mean that it is going to be horrible.

  • i know this sounds lame....but you totally rule. I laughed at the horrible dubs of speed racer wen i was little but i still liked it. I love bright colours too. Plus im still a teen and im probably gunna take my 7 yr old brother with me. I spoil him too much =_= anyway, ur right, it sounds like a great kids movie.

  • AMEN!!!! RIGHT ON!!!

  • his helmet looks stupid.

  • this looks more like F-Zero than Speed Racer

  • wooo rain he looks hot in there ! this movie look retard but I'll see it anyway cuz rain's in it !

  • Fucked up man!
