I was going to watch this movie over the weekend, but I'm not sure about it.

I'm on the fence with this one.

It looks pathetic, and the reviews have been awful. Save yourself the $8.50

Why the hell would anyone even think of seeing this movie?

I was going to see it this weekend, but was too busy getting ready for finals.

I fully expect it to suck, but am way too curious about the visuals to miss it in theaters. Say what you will about script/acting, but it's hard to deny that it looks like it looks amazing.

Amazing visuals...I guess. I just can't bring myself to see it. Looks absolutely ridiculous.

Looks like it might not be worth it.

"What Happens in Vegas" beat it in the box office this past weekend.
I think that speaks volumes.

i thought it was good the first 30 minutes are a bit of a drag but it sets up the movie i recommend it

The only parts that drag are the parts with the Royalton guy. The rest of the movie is entertaining enough. See it for matinee price, it's not worth full admission.

What Happens in Vegas isn't a better movie than Speed Racer, either.

Skip them both and go see Iron Man. Best film I've been able to see since In Bruges.

That says something.

If young boys don't like an action flick that is the kiss of death.

I get the feeling that this movie is like "the crow" and better watched with the sound off, so you can't hear the bad acting and s****y screenplay.

Sensory overload. Saw it at the drive-in and was glad it wasn't in the theatre. I probably would've thrown up at all the movement. The story is terrible. Just when you think you've seen the last race, he has to race, yet again.

Wait for dvd on this one.

speed racer didn't race on hot wheels tracks. The Wachowski brothers are super hacks

What happens in vegas doesn't look half bad. Glanced over at the other screen at it it and it looks kinda entertaining.
