Sweet car.  Where do the circular saws come out?

A few years back, an actual car (modelled after the Mach 5) was auctioned on e-bay.  It was owned by the head writer, or producer of the show.

Moviefone has the first trailer, here.

hmmm...the style of it seems like a modern day Tron.

Looks pretty crappy. Joel Silver talked about action sequences "beyond belief". the driving scenes from the trailer looked straight outta "Cars" to me.

I predict this is gonna blow.

They kept the colors but not any kind of comic style. It looks like Dick Tracy the movie, only with less atmosphere.

Yeah that did look pretty average. I'm not a fan of the original show, so I can't comment on how faithful an adaptation it is, but nothing in that trailer particularly blew my skirt up. But the Wachowski's are good directors, so I'm gonna reserve judgment until I see the actual movie.

I think this will blow about as hard as Garfield and the Scooby-Doo Movies. Some things are just not meant for live action. Sure, the cartoon is a classic. But as a live action film, it's just corny. Especially when they do like this and imitate the way the cartoon looked...which was utter crap. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was made a million years ago when you were all kids. But it still looks like crap.

I'm not looking forward to this. I think it will be just as visually lame as the Spy Kids movies...both trying to be stylized and visually stunning...but it's mainly just boring and corny.

I think it looks very good. It looks to be fateful to the cartoon. I guess when ever a movie tries something new, there will be haters... but I think this movie may surprise people.

Hey,

I don't know if I'm willing to say this looks good but I do think it looks fun. I'm probably not going to pay to see it but if a viewing opportunity happened to come my way I'd gladly take it.

Also, I think this looks way better then Garfield or Scooby doo. Also, I don't think the chances of it bombing are nearly as high. Racer X is a bad ass.

I was really excited for the movie but after seeing the trailer I've completely lost interest. Doesn't appeal at all to me.

A couple of international trailers have hit the web. For my money, these make the movie look a lot better than the earlier trailers.

You'll find the first one here and the second here.

Enjoy.

I'll probably break down and see it - after the Matrix series, it's good they turned to something that's eye candy instead of brain mush. I'm STILL trying to erase the stench of the last 2 Matrix films from my person...

One thing, the clip of Matthew Fox as Racer X - he NAILED that rapid fire delivery of the cartoons. Laughed out loud at that.

I personally think it looks pretty good -- remember. This is a kids film/family film. The brothers have stated this in an interview (don't have the link, but I've heard this on many places before). So please, don't mistake this for there usual stuff.
