Fail. Lots and lots of fail.

umm Speed Racer was a campy cartoon anyway, I will see it but I'm not in that much of a rush to see it.

I'll watch it just for Chim-Chim.

wtf.

I guess the Wachowski brothers wanted to pay tribute to their anime heritage, but needed to make a movie out of one that actually has some mainstream name-recognition here. And the DBZ movie is apparently already taken.

And James Cameron has Battle Angel Alita

I just finished watching the trailer and it doesn't look very interesting. The over the top stylization kind of reminded me of the live action Thunderbirds movie.

So no one's even a little excited about the new Speed Racer comic where he travels through time?

Cheese-tastic. Also, ninjas! :awesome:

The more footage of this that I see, the more enthusiastic I am about it. Yes it'll be stupid and cheesy, but it will at least be fun.

[Elitist Indie Hipster]

its been getting decent reviews.

Man, Speed Racer was one sick movie. I had hella fun watching it.
