Speed Racer

Has anyone seen Speed Racer yet? Is it out yet? The release date says May 9th. I haven't seen it nor have I seen any comments about it yet.

Anyone?

Looks like a rental, if even that!

this movie died a terrible death during its first weekend at the box office. it is a disaster.

It will be a rental then. I wasn't sure about this movie. It looked like it was teetering on awesome and bad.
At the same time I will have to watch it for myself.

I was going to see this on opening weekend but the reviews were so bad that I ended up seeing Iron Man instead. Glad I did as that was a decent movie.

You know what? Screw you guys. The movie was freaking awesome!

Wow. It takes a single person on a forum to tell you about a movie they haven't even seen to get you to NOT go see it for yourself?

Don't be a drone, dude. Go see the movie for yourself if you are even the least bit interested in Speed Racer. I saw the movie and I thought the movie was one hell of a good time to go see with friends. Don't let other people think for you. Besides, it's $15 to go see a movie with a friend and have a good time. Get some popcorn and a soda and have fun. That's what going to the movies is all about.

Yeah, go waste $15 on an hour and a half of your life you can never get back!

While others don't mind wasting their time on tripe films ("Transfromers" drones ), others of us have this thing called "taste" and would rather not have our time wasted regardless if it's fun to go to the movies with a buddy.

The link I provided to all the reviews from RT are a lot more the ONE guy giving Ironbull some friendly advice. And, if you paid attention to the page on RT, you'll notice the RT Community tab where all the average Joes place their thoughts gave the film a whopping 78%.

However, I'm going with Eddie on this one, it's a disaster.

Stop with the Transformers hate!

Anwyays, Tim, is two and a half hours lost on that movie...and it's better if we spend $3 for two tickets at the 'dollar theatre'...and most of the reviews are negative towards Speed Racer...

Well, 78% on RT seems to be the majority of people LIKING the movie. Which puts your "taste" in the minority and mine in the majority. So if you were looking to make yourself sound more "tasteful" there or sound as if you have some superior sense of what a good movie is then you just did a fantastic job of sounding like a real dumb ass there. Besides, "taste" is just another word for opinion, Tim. As we all know, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, and they all stink. My asshole says Speed Racer was a kick ass movie.

And I think the word you were looking for there was "trite". Tripe is the lining of a cow's stomach.
