Speed Racer!

So does the box office mean the movie was bad, or just that people didn't get it? The box office issue only matters when it's a movie you like or dislike apparently.

It matters when it comes to franchise films. Stardust did horrible at the box office, but I didn't give a **** because I really liked the movie, and there wasn't going to be any sequels anyway. But with movies like Speed Racer, and especially The Golden Compass, box office means a lot for fans.

Interestingly, Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch shared their opinions on Speed Racer. Must say I was surprised by their reactions.

...and it's the biggest piece of **** ever. Just like a little piece of me refuses to believe that every movie Harrison Ford has made since Last Crusade has sucked, I kind of like the W Bros. Matrix 1 was so, so good, but my God this is up there with Hollywood Homicide, Rising Sun, Clear and Present Danger and Twister as one of the worst flicks I have ever paid money to see.

Jeepers? Cool beans? We left after thirty minutes and went to McDonalds!

God, wasn't Speed Racer ****e? the Good Mrs Hitch and I took a small selection of our horde of offspring to see it last week and we took it in shifts to stay there and look after them whilst they watched the film. we took frequent cigarette breaks and neither of us smoke. By the end, the kids were taking *** breaks too.

I also love the look of the Hulk. I've been wary for a while and I certainly don't think it will approach Iron Man coolness but I think it will do solid if not exceptional business.

I really liked the latest Hulk trailer; then again I liked the Ang Lee film too. Wasn't that Russian wanted trailer Awesome?

^Millar and Hitch like to be brutally honest for the sake of being brutally honest, that's all. I disagree with both of them anyways.

I think it kinda does talk to the quality of the movie when a movie does this horribly though.

 

[GhostPoet]

I still think it was a fantastic, original movie.

In Speed Racer's case, people just weren't interested in seeing it. Luckily, they were right. Many people saved their 8-10 dollars for this waste of time.

I'm thinking about doing the same for the Indy movie,... The Geeks who have seen it tell me that while not a yawner,... they could've waited for the DVD.

It's unfortunate that it made it's money on the previous Indy films - as in People are going because of the good experience they may have had with one of the previous three.

That can be said for just about every sequel ever made. The prior experience and success of it's predecessor will draw in the people, as well as others who haven't seen the predecessor(s) and think it will be enjoyable to see. People went to see Indy because they enjoyed the previous films, AND/or because it is appealing to them.

Why do I have to add "IMO" or any of those useless words? My post is already my opinion. It's redundant when anybody uses "IMO" or "IMHO." It's not like my post isn't my opinion.

who are they.. and why does their opinion matter?
lol

 

[Warhammer]

Like another poster said, Millar and Hitch's opinions were harsh for the sake of being harsh. They had to have been over-exaggerating.

Saw this movie last night. It sucked

I saw this movie a while back, and i didn't like it. The major problem was that this was a kids movie, and there were points in the movie where it would be really serious, and then out of no where that kid and chimp jump out,trying to have comic relief,(which was overdone in this movie) and im thinking to myself, this movie cannot be taken seriously. Even though the races in the movie were somewhat neat,you will walk out of the movie theatre, feeling like you've been on the "pineapple express", with out the, well you know what i mean.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

I saw this movie and it really did suck. Felt like it would never end and I couldn't tell what the hell was happening in the races.

 

[Warhammer]

Y'all should have made those negative comments last month.

 

[chesslover]

Comes out on Blu-Ray and DVD on Sept. 16. 2008

 

[chaseter]

[RickO'Connell]

 

[terry78]

[Jennifer Walters]

I'll be buying that sucker on Blu Ray. It'll look amazing. Plus it was a fun movie.
