I might try it when I'm on acid just to see how better it'd be.

Everyone here is clearly already on acid, because Speed Racer looks totally kickass.

I don't think it looks very good, but for some reson I am drawn to it... I can't explain it.

This.

I've got only the faintest glimmer of interest this film and the TV series that spawned it, but I'll say this: the film's visual style, whether you admire it or utterly loathe it, is damn creative. Gloriously artificial, like the worst aesthetics of the 1950s and the present day blended into a surreal new reality.

The film manages to look like a live-action cartoon, even though that notion is a blatant contradiction (and I shall smite any annoying wapanese who insists that Speed Racer is an Annie-May and not a cartoon), which is an impressive feat.

I doubt I'll see the film. I'd have real difficulty getting into a movie where a character is actually named 'Speed Racer' (although I cope just fine with 'Cloud Strife' and similar silliness...). But, I say we should give credit where it's due, and it looks like this film will be stylistically and cinematographically remarkable.

Speed Racer, like the original Star Trek* series, is mainly good because of the unintentional comedy.

A remake? Sounds like fail.

*Still going to see the upcoming Star Trek movie, but only because Sylar is Spock.
