Why kids are staying away from this: I have no idea. I loved it. Granted, I grew up on the animated Speed and thought it was amazing, and I love the Wachowskis' devotion to that series in the movie. It was fun. It looked beautiful and compared to crap like Transformers or Godzilla, well it was better than those. Speed Racer is so much better than critics say.

GORGEOUS. I really hope that SR's box office isn't going to effect item #3 on your list too much. Hopefully the success of 300, SIN CITY, IM and etc can offset such things in the long run.

A similar article like this could have been written after Ang Lee's "Hulk" or David Lynch's "Dune." Both of those projects sound like great pairings, but yeeeulch... Also, another thing this all might be "good" for is the triumph of story. I haven't seen "Speed Racer," so I don't fully know what kind of story it has, but from all the trailers you get the impression there really isn't one and all reviews I saw talked about the lack of one. "Iron Man," which has a great story thanks to Favreau sticking to Stan Lee's original intent, was #1 again probably mostly for that reason. The neat armor special effects are just a bonus. “Artistic innovation” on a known property always sounds like a good idea, but I think I’m coming around to the idea that it isn’t.

If Tony Stark was not only a genius multi-millionaire engineer, but he was also physically disabled from CP. No joke-- I think it would have made the story so much more emotionally-involving if Stark really, really had to struggle to get out of that cave, and he does so by creating the Iron Man suit, which gives him full mobility. Then the movie becomes about something completely different, and probably a lot more engaging. You know what would have made Iron Man more interesting?

The comic books have lots of back story and baggage because they have a monthly book for like 40 or 50 years. That's a lot of stories. But at most there will be what? 10 movies? 20 movies? There just is not enough time to get that convoluted. The other thing you are missing that is no movie will be required to watch any of the others. Iron Man will have a cameo in Hulk... but it will be small. All of these movies will enhance each other. A lot of what makes comics great are not the villains but the interaction between super heroes. Those interactions will be possible with how marvel will be making these films. While I don't know if a whole film will be about stark losing his armor I think with more heroes you can have better interactions. And with out relying on each film to explain the characters again. I think we'll know if it's working or not after the avengers movie comes out as it's obviously the lynch pin in the whole thing. Actually I think the bigger problem with the whole idea is what kind of contracts are these actors signing? What happens where there is a schedule conflict with robert downey? Or he asks for too much money? There is a reason TV shows don't renegotiate contracts every episode and that is what it seems marvel will be forced to do. okay… so here’s where you’re wrong about bringing the marvel universe to the screen.

I don't think it has anything to do with the quality or the performance of the movies that WIP or Picturehouse released. I know-- I'm sounding like a WB shill, but I suspect that New Line, WIP and Picturehouse will all still basically exist but they just won't have a separate name to call themselves. It's like one of things that Starbucks is doing because they over-expanded-- instead of serving different blends of coffee every day, now they'll just serve the same blend, over and over again, day in, day out, with no green on their coffee cups. (That's right-- I shamelessly made a Starbucks Coffee reference.) Besides, this is better than Time/Warner/AOL/Fox News Corp./Viacom, all on one banner! It's the lesser of two evils.

Also, ShogunMaster probably lifted the molestation jokes from Brian Poeshn's routine about Lucas and the Star Wars prequels. And, yes, here, here, I agree with you, Chris-- hearing a rumor that Indy 4 is "old-fashioned" only makes me want to see it more. Besides, there's needs to be more pop culture for 'old people'. And I don't mean pop culture for baby boomers who are holding on to the last vestiges of their youth, but pop culture that implicitly says to people that it's okay to grow old and become a senior citizen. Our culture is too youth-obsessed, and we need popular entertainment that lets audiences know that old-age isn't a complete nightmare. That review is probably fake, knowing AICN.
