Dude, seriously
what the hellFrom the trailers alone:
Speed Racer - awesome candy coloured racing involving more explosions than an average feature length movie. Not to mention a monkey.
Cloverfield - from the makers of LOST, an, ugh, monster movie without any sight of the monster. Based on 'found footage' which basically means shite handheld camera work 'for effect'. Probably the monster will look like a bunch of smoke.
For somebody who wanted to shiv everyone and their uncle who paid money for and enjoyed the Transformers movie, I'm surprised you'd be so enthusiastic about another big budget nostalgia movie.
razz Plus, after the Wachowskis cocked-up a fantastic idea like the Matrix and V, I don't trust them with something like Speed Racer. I mean sure, the first Matrix was good and V had its moments, despite deviating from the original book's plot too much. I'm just...worried.
Besides, the only racing movie any-body ever needs to see is Overdrift.
As for Cloverfield, yes, I understand it's made by JoJo Abrams and it uses a lot of found footage but since I'm one of those freaks who genuinely enjoyed the Blair Witch Project, as I'm sure you remember, you can understand why I'm a little more optimistic with this one. But like the Speed Racer movie, I'm also going to wait and see what is said.
Time will tell.
