Anyone reading the critic reviews of Speed Racer?

I happen to think it was a good movie but it seems every single critic hates this film. They seem to just say "the villian is a greedy corporate exec, therefor the movie is saying to destroy America." and then give it a harsh score. What the hell? Even I realize that the whole thing was about a corupt buisness that was fixing races with speed and racer x getting rid of that to make it a real sport again, just like how some "great" movies are about fixed football games and the lone player saving the day liek rollerball or the longest yard. Why is this movie being treated differently than those?

Yep. What the hell indeed. So, for the mindset of coperate America to the uneducated, here's this video.

As for the Speed Racer movie, I'm gonna try to go watch it simply because it has Korean singer "Bi" in it.

He can't act though. lol

Bi? I take it you mean Rain? I guess Bi is the Korean name?

YES! You are correct, goodfellow! "Bi" is the Korean word for rain.

So tell me, how was his Konglish and acting? :3

Actually quite well. His entire role though is he's part of the illegal underground deals and he needs to be protected by Speed and X while bad guys try to get him. All he does really is yell at speed or being tortured by baddies so all he can do is spit at em. Nothing in the role really needed acting so he was believable I guess. It wasn't cringe-worthy or anything.

i enjoyed it. Although the movie was trippy as hell

lol, tortured by bad guys and lots of yelling. That's ALWAYS a must in Korean movies or whatnot. XD loloololololol

So he acted quite well? That's good to hear. ^^

Well, yeah he acted quite well. But is role didn't have you know, a huge variety to show.

to me, this is just me, it looks awful.
im not big on seizure inducing lights, thats just me though.

speed racer is better than iron man which i cant see because its pg13

dude arent you 14?
btw ironman was created as anti-communist propaganda, so both look pretty awful.

yes im 14 but my parents dont know they think im 4. ALso even if its anticommmunist propaganda it can still be good movie but its not. Did you even see the previews for it its so cheesy this guy puts on a 300 pound metal tuxedo and starts floating in midair.

hahah well they dont have to know you say, how do they feel about you being a communist?
ya i saw the previews i wanted to blow my brains out.

Wait stop! Iron man propoganda? The movie is about Stark realizing that creating his weapons does not benifit the world and the villian is a corrupt buisnessman selling weapons to both sides to make a profit. How is that capitolist propoganda? The main character goes against his own company, trying to stop weapons manufacturing.

Iron man is deffinatly not anti-communist propaganda. Actualy iron man kills captain america in the comics becuase he represents america at the time and america was greedy and a war monger.

uh...OK actually that's not exactly correct. In the Civil War series, the government wants superheroes to all be exposed. Captain America opposed that and Iron Man didn't. A random sniper killed the Cap, not Iron Man.

oh shi- your right lol. thats what i get for listening to friends

I saw it. It was anti-extremist terrorist (which people sometimes relate to anarchists and communists) and anti-greedy businessmen to some extent. But it was definitely pro-capitalism to me (fuckin delusional liberals and their crazy ideals. Capitalism coexisting with peace....). Cos Stark is the greedy capitalist that we all would hate, but he also has a soul, which we all know isn't true. All of a sudden he becomes some saint trying to rid the world of evil. Baaaaaaaloney. If this were a real life story, Stark woulda been more like Obadias (or whatever that old guy is called), worried about his profits and freely selling his weapons to terrorists.

That's not why it sucks. It sucks becasue it sucks!
