The music video for the updated Speed Racer theme, "Go Speed Racer Go", has hit the web, and while the song itself gets annoying after a couple of verses (how many times can you listen to that refrain before going insane?), the actual video is mesmerizing. There's a lot of footage that hasn't been seen in the trailers and ads so far, and the cartoon come-to-life visuals are simply eye-popping. In that respect, anyone who ponies up ten bucks for a ticket is going to get his or her money's worth. Hopefully, the strength of the story can match the undeniable visual power the Wachowski's onscreen kaleidoscope is set to deliver. At least one early review indicates that may not be the case, unfortunately. We'll wait 'till we see it ourselves next weekend to pass final judgement. In the meantime, feast your eyes on the new video after the jump.

That song was absolutely horrible. Minutes of my life I can't get back.

You probably have a gastric problem. Nothing to do with the movie.
I am looking forward to seeing this. It looks like that have totally camped the movie up and not taken anything seriously. Could be a bit of fun (isn't that what movies are for).

This might be the biggest piece of cinematic trash since Little Man. Please never pollute my computer screen with this rubbish ever again.

BKadalur @ Apr 30th 2008 9:03PM

Lil @ May 12th 2008 4:07PM
:) COOL! I saw it! It was actually pretty good!
Nick @ Apr 30th 2008 9:03PM
That had to be the easiest acting job ever, simply sitting while everything around you is computer generated. Honestly, I don't understand why they didn't just go the extra 2% and make the entire thing CG.
Oh, and that song sucks.

It's an hour and a half commercial for Hot Wheels. And I thought Transformers was bad.... It's official. Hollywood has completely run out of ideas.
Lil @ May 12th 2008 4:06PM
bob d, you are way off. You don't know at all what movies are good if you hate both movies ya crazy!

To quote captain Murphy from sealab, "It's like a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain!" I can't wait to see this movie.
iOrange @ Apr 30th 2008 9:23PM
I am kind of looking forward to seeing this movie (but will wait for reviews).. that video was awesome, once I shut my speakers off.. Felt like a bad acid trip.
PiCASSO @ Apr 30th 2008 9:54PM
[can 't believe I'm saying this but... ] It actually looks like a fun film to watch... on DVD.
sashazur @ Apr 30th 2008 11:19PM
I want to see this - I'll probably be grinning like an idiot while I feel my brain cells die one by one.
Za @ Apr 30th 2008 11:26PM
