Awful in every way.
I want that Metal packaging but for blu ray!
This was one of those "what the hell was that?!?" movies.
It will be intersting to catch it on the small screen.

It's just a few episodes of a cartoon stitched together. Didn't really work as a theatrical experience, but on the small screen it should look cool (especially on BD).
Once the show get's going next month and has a little time to breathe, i think a rewatch of the opening movie/episodes will be great to revisit.
All this is depending on the show being good of course.

This wasn't as bad as people think - sure, we didn't have Williams' Star Wars theme, but that's down to Fox. We must accept that this is for kids,and most of us true fans were kids when we first saw the movies, we've grown up but the films haven't. It it is pretty much non stop action all the way through - for the kids! LOVED the scrambled radio message over the 'A long time ago...' opener. Nice packaging by the way!
This wasn't that good (5/10), but as I'm a completeist, I'll pick it up anyway.
THX for superior sound?... But I don't see the lossless audio in any place. Any one?
Wasn't bad.
Warners. Bros chooses to use the 2-disc special edition on a god awful film and one that never really gained popularity. But seriously why does this film get so much credit for a 2-disc. sure it's Star wars but it sucks. If they gave Star wars one they should have at least gave Speed racer one.
what a freakin awful movie. i cant stand the star wars movies. they are horrible. i wouldnt have cared if they never released it.
This "movie" (and I use that term loosely) was absolutely horrible. Even my Star Wars-addicted son couldn't sit through this. The 2D animated Clone Wars was far superior to this horse filth. I suggest we just pretend this never existed.
I'm sticking by what I've said: Decent kid-oriented TV show episode, not a good movie. However, the animation is pretty cool, and the movie got me really pumped for the show, which is finally going to stop focusing on just Anakin and Obi-Wan.
At any rate, I'm definitely getting that kick-ass BestBuy steelbook the second it comes out. I liked the movie well enough, and that just looks too awesome to pass up.

obviously its about money but...i'm surprised to see this announced, i figured they woulda just released this with the eventual "season one" collection of the series.
so that raises the question, when that release does come will this be included?

Skipped seeing it in the movie theater. Guess my first Star Wars experience in Blu-ray will have to be this. Between this, the new Clone Wars series, and The Force Unleashed video game, there will be plenty of Star Wars to go around for the next couple months....

well there is a difference, speed racer cost well over 100 million dollars and barely made 20. while clone wars cost around 4 or 5 and made nearly 30. so profit wise it was a success so i can see why they gave it the 2 disc treatment and left speed racer out in the cold. also its "star wars" so i'm sure name recognition made the decision too.

Oh but it did have several of Williams's SW themes, they were rearranged to the point beyond recognition.

The regular 2-disc cover looks like it should be the 1-disc cover, and vice versa for the 1-disc. This c**p looks homo.
Failed drastically. Muahaha
I haven't had the chance to see this. It looked good to me, watching the trailers unleashed the dormant Star Wars geek in me. I couldn't believe how badly this was panned by critics and am amazed at all the different exclusives they are planning to release. I'll definitely pick up the Target exclusive Blu-ray so I can get my discount :-)

Target has a 2 Disc Special Edition of Speed Racer.

S**tty artwork I reckon, and I feel it is more of a cash-cow than a genuine continuation or redirection of the saga, but I'm keen to see it on the small screen. (I mean my ipod, prob download it!!)
I heard that the actual series is far better than this, which I missed on the digital cinema that I usually go to, so it will be film for me on the dollar theatre...oh, and it's SW, so there is no reason why it wouldn't have a 2-disc edition, since it was released in theatres.
And that BB metal packaging looks AWESOME...

If I can find a best buy (I just moved to a new state), then I'm all over that metal packaging.
I was one of the few who really enjoyed this as an intro to the show, which I eagerly await next Friday. I will definitely be getting the 2-Disc but the coverart isn't that great and they should have totally kept the awesome poster on the single disc. Although I may just pick up the steelbook at best buy.
awful movie
but that best buy exclusive looks f**kin awesome!
too bad

how come there are 2 different blu-ray covers? because blu-ray movies always contain the 2 disc version contents so is that simply a "choose your favorite cover" thing or are they different releases?
Didn't even consider seeing this at the cinema. I bet this is the only SW movie that Lucas feels that he doesn't have to fiddle around with. Hopefully Lucas will now decide to let SW be and to move on and make some of those personal films he has been talking about.
The prequels turned out to be a rather pointless exercise, and I think the SW saga has been butchered enough already. Get the proper films out on Blu-Ray (hopefully with some more pointless changes like spirit Jar-Jar to join father-younger-than-son spirit and friends).
This film has shown the difficulty with putting SW into other mediums whilst taking away from essential elements, no doubt the live ation show will suffer the same fate too.

Exclusive Target packaging. Gotta say, the regular 2-disc (and blu-ray) artwork with just Anakin looks awful. The other covers look OK, especially the Best Buy.
