The first trailer for Speed Racer is here, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. The movie looks a lot better in motion than it does in those garish, laughable still photos released by Warner Bros. yesterday. They should have led with this, instead of those ugly, Pinball meets The Running Man monstrosities.
That’s not to say it isn’t still a little silly. The racing scenes still look like something out of a really bright, 8 years and under videogame and the whole thing looks exactly like what it is: a movie shot entirely in front of a green screen. That’s not a good thing. Actually, I think I’ve played this racing game. It was called F-Zero. Lot of fun. Laws of physics didn’t apply. Would make a lousy movie.
So watch the first trailer for Speed Racer and let us know what you think of it. Cilck here.
