Speed Racer!

[dark_b]

i also loved teh flashback scene of young speed and rex in the car. the music was also fantastic.
the W brothers just know how to make it epic IMO.

I didn't like this movie 3/10 I was bored.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I loved the movie 9/10 I was ecstatic

......I'm sorry. What did you just say? I mean, if you want to say it was a bad movie or to childish, then that is just fine, but boring?! No.

Anyway, I'm so getting this on DVD tuesday. This may very well be my favorite under-rated movie of all time.

 

[Mr. Credible]

this will be my first blu ray purchase... i've had my ps3 for months (since metal gear 4 came out) but i just had a standard-def tv, until friday, i bought a 42" 1080p masterpiece, with an HDMI cable... and now? sweet jesus!

so yeah, i've been trying to decide what movies would look good enough in blu-ray to warrant a $20-$30 purchase, and this is the first one i thought of, after iron-man.

sorry, but i'm not going to blow $30 on 'baby mama' on blu ray. i don't need to see tina fey's scar that clearly.

I really enjoyed this movie, hated that it bombed so bad at the B.O.

I agree with you. I will say, i very much disliked this movie, but it was far from boring. I just thought the movie would try too be too serious at certain points, and it didnt work, its a childish movie.

I might rent this but I am afraid I will have a seizure alone in my apartment and die

I use the reviews from here to decide if a movie is worth it to buy it on Blu-ray:

It would be like, the best death ever though.

It would be like, the best death ever though.

That would also require me to have eaten 10 pounds of skittles and like 5 Mountain Dews Now that would be a death!

 

[GhostPoet]

I can't wait for the blu-ray of this. Loved this film!!

 

[Untilteld]

Extras
Now this is where Speed Racer really lets itself down. Considering the technical wizardry involved in this movie we get pretty close to nothing. There’s a making of called ‘Car Fu’ (27:38), which gives you the briefest of stories on how the Wachowskis came about doing the project, though not from the brothers themselves, but from Joel Silver and some of the SFX guys. There are some animatics and discussions on the work that went into the movie, but this all moves along lightning fast and despite it covering all the bases it’s hardly in the detail the movie deserves.

Next up, is following the kid with the chimp around, in ‘Spritle in the Big Leagues’ (14:34), which is actually okay in regards to detail with the pop up facts throughout, but it’s really glossy nonsense at best. Same can be said for ‘Speed Racer: Super Charged’ (15:43), a featurette in which we meet the drivers, the cars and the tracks. It’s really not that enthralling.

To add insult to injury, disc two is a DVD based Speed Racer game, which is interactive, slow and the pausing between selections was infuriating. This might hold your attention for around five minutes but if it goes beyond that you may want to seek medical assistance.

To round up there’s a digital copy on disc three that, depending on your feelings on this sort of thing, is a either a nice bonus or a waste of time.

Double dip

Good thing that's only Blu Ray.

Who would spend 35 bucks for this on bluray They did opposite of what I expected them to do. They bomb at the box office so you would think they would make an awesome dvd to pull in more people...but no

 

[dark_b]

are those screencaps from the movie or what? because if they are then it looks like they made the video more desaturated.

Mix the Mountain Dew with some Jolt cola.

It says at the very bottom of the review that those pics don't represent the Blu-ray. I'm not even that mad about the special features. I know the movie is going to look amazing, so that's enough for me.

Well I was afraid I'd get a seizure watching it in thetares, I went any ways. No problem being stupid every once in a while LOL.

i noticed that too... tim burton must've gotten a hold of the dvd's lol

I'm so excited, I just hope they cut that scene at the end out.
