    I agree. Too much CGI

    by stifler's mom

    Unless the script is absolutely fantastic, that CGI overkill is gonna get old after 10 minutes.

    by troutmaskreplicant

    I looks like they're behind on they're rendering and they keep sending new footage to the trailer cutters. Which would explain the improvement in the trailer quality...

    Stop with the CGI bitching

    by submarinevoyage

    I don't know if the movie will be good or bad, but it's obviously going for a purposefully super-stylized world that the CGI is there to create. At a certain point bitching "too much CGI" in a movie like this is like saying "too much animation!!!" when you go to see an animated film.

    This movie will make an ungodly ammount of money. Seriously. This will make more in the first showing that n Leatheheads makes in its entire run. Looks perfect. By the way- Walmart and other places have Hotwheel speed racer cars (mach 4,5,6 Racer X, and others) for very cheap. $$$$ makes movies. As Mel Brooks said--Moichandising.

    Sorry to disappoint, fella, but I have seen it. A miscast so-so buddy movie at best. The point I was making was the about the amount of money thrown at it vs. the return, which is what I think will be echoed with Speed Racer.I may be wrong, but I'll buy you a beer if it makes it's money back domestically.

    You are wrong. This is exactly what the Wachowskis needed to get there career back on track. While I won't deem it until I actually see the movie, all signs are looking good. Wachowskis- if you pull this off, I'll officially forgive you for Matrixes parts 2 and 3. There.

    Mammoth Car Showdown!

    by greenstyle92

    Mammoth has a frickin' rocket launcher on it that speed jumps then racer x inverts he car and opens on on the Mammoth with 3 Gatling guns! THAT is why this movie is going to be cool!

    btw, it just so happens that the mammoth car episode of the cartoon was my favorite!

    by datascream

    The world that made in this looks amazing, it's just what a Speed Racer movie SHOULD look like. It's also the definition of how CG can work. You can say it looks like a cartoon and bitch, but why it's stupid to bitch about that is it's BASED on a cartoon! It's a live-action cartoon for christs sakes, how can you be so narrow-minded to understand that?

    by fuldamobil

    I have a friend who is working on the special effects for Speed Racer (still, as the movie isn't finished, yet) and he says it's an absolute clusterfuck. Apparently, everything looks like shit, so they've been telling the animators to just have shit move really fast, so you can't tell how bad it looks.

    Spridle and Chim Chim Have A Serious Candy Addiction

    by laserpants

    I hope their crippling addiction to candy is addressed in this film. They would routinely sell Speed out (or tell a secret) for a box of sugar coated treats, and then feel bad about it, and cry like lunatics. Never trust a junky! Seriously, they need to seek professional addiction help of some kind or continue their downward spiral into sugar-coated addiction.

    by johnno

    What the fuck! Honestly... can't you guys read one article without having to resort to the need to comment in the talkback?! Look at how many fucking comments there are!!! TOO MUCH!!!P.S. The Matrix Trilogy OWNS your asses! Hate 2 and 3 all you want but monetarily speaking they were far far far from flops... and that's precisely the reason why the Wachowski brothers can make whatever they want, and it's all good to me because Reloaded and Revolutions were awesome! I need Speed Racer on blu-ray the day after I see this in the cinema! This is going to be the movie that hi-def enthusiasts use to calibrate, test and compare the true worth of their set ups!

    Speed Makes the "Aaahh" Sound in other trailer

    by kenjinattix

    I watched the four minute international trailer and was very surprised to see not only Matthew Fox talking to Speed NOT in disguise but Speed actually make his trademark "Aaaah!" exclamation and then follow it with "This race is full of cheaters". I'm so there when this comes out. Imax or bust.

    How Many Ways Can You SUCK?

    by revolution_now

    If you aren't a fan of the original show, you suck. If you aren't salivating at the visuals in these trailers, you suck. If you whine about too much CGI in this film, you suck. If you think Speed is gay, you suck. If you think Matthew Fox sounds like Kermit the Frog, you suck. If you whine that the movie looks too unrealistic, you REALLY suck. Essentially, if you are one of the typical AICN'ers who trashes movies you haven't seen, not only do you suck, but you will never have children, and your life's great achievement will be that you complained on TalkBack, you loser. . . . Just kidding. Jesus loves you.
