Don't Bother Seeing It

Filed under: Film Flickers

speed-racerx-large.jpg

Yes, it really is that bad!

The reviews are in and critics are shredding the new Speed Racer film to pieces.

USA Today gave it a whopping 1 and 1/2 stars.

And, the Associated Press is saying, "In adapting the 1960s Japanese anime television series, writer-directors Larry and Andy Wachowski have created a noisy, overlong, mind-numbing extravaganza that seems tailor-made for nobody but themselves and their twisted sensibilities. At two hours and 15 minutes, it's way too long for little kids, the only ones for whom this explosion at a crayon factory would seem even vaguely entertaining. Adults seeking the nostalgia of their own childhood will just be disappointed, because Speed Racer the movie bears little resemblance to Speed Racer the TV cartoon."

Sucks for them!

At least the new Batman movie seems promising!

    Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy or Andy Milonakis should have been cast as Spritle. Bubbles the Chimp should have been rescued from Neverland for the Chim Chim role. I should be a casting agent. Most of 'em around Hollywood suck ass.

    This movie is great. Its just not for US audiences. At least not sober ones. Its more like a psychedellic Bollywood spectular….or something…. It won't bomb overseas, anyway. The colors will make you go blind!!!

    It don't have actual Japenese peaple or characters that resemble the Anime. This movie would probably make me hate the series.

    No way. This movie gets two thumbs up from me. The same guys who wrote the Matrix wrote this script. It takes an open mind to watch it and it's not for everyone. You either love it or hate it. We loved it. At first it seems like a stupid kid flick but then takes a turn and rolls.

    By the way, my 9 yr. old son hung on easily the 2 hrs. plus and was screaming his head off with joy at this flick. The AP is clueless and should stick to commenting on films they comprehend.

    You guys are deusches, this is a kick ass movie and it's sad to see that the media has biasly shaped the opinions of all these ignorant people who are ready to be told what to do.
