Informer Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Let me coin a new phrase : CRAP TO THE MAX. I don't know how they could multilate an original so badly. Acting, directing, dialogue everything was crap. The only good thing about the movie was that my car was in it, and that Japanese girl with better acting ability than the rest of them. OK, rant over.

LegIt Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Lol well yeha, hrmms those are real drifting right? coz it seems wenever the camera follows the car from the aerial view it looks like its jst computerised =S Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/80849-initial-d-the-movie/#findComment-1469268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseR33 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Which car was yours informer? I totally agree that the movie was pretty intolerable. I haven't watched many of the original cartoons, but i'm sure the movie is not a great representation of the animations.

Informer Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Some of it was real drifting. Seriously, the story was warped. I'm pretty sure ID fans walked out feeling that this was more a movie about Jay-whatshisface than Takumi/Bunta/AE86. Piece of crap. They should have consulted the writer and do a movie about Bunta, his driving legacy, the birth of Takumi and why the wife left them. It would have been awesome to have seen the AE86 take the mountains with other similarly older cars like the older RX7, Subaru Vortex, 280zx, BMW E30 M3 etc etc. Now that would have been quite a story worth seeing, as well as the sequel.

Mr R32 M-Spec Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I've just watched it on Div X, only cause it doesn't come out in teh cinema's I' ve seen I thought overall it was good, the car stuff was great. watching it was interesting with subs, that were way toooo literal and had to translate the translations sometimes they rushed the movie, they should have just had a series of Movies I think, 1-4 or something so they could take more time. It wasn't as good as the anime, but its initial d so its ok in my book mark Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/80849-initial-d-the-movie/#findComment-1471012 Share on other sites More sharing options...

type m 32 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 If your in Sydney and want to see it its playing at reading cinemas in Market City (Haymarket/Chinatown) with english subtitles. Gotta say i liked the anime better. The casting was alright though, they seemed to match the characters.

dopefish Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 It was chinese anyway which is so weird for me. They totally act like chinese people rather than japanese.

Nozila Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 i completely agree on so many levels. movie was a massive dissapointment which im not surprised about considering it came out of china/hk as it seems it was only made for a quick buck which unfortunately wasnt exciting.

SKYLVIA Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 i havent seen the movie yet but by the sounds of everyone complaining sounded pretty bad. who was the movie based around? it wasnt the takahashi brothers was it? and i couldve guessed it wasnt going to be top notch cause it was made in china, with chinese actors -_-" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/80849-initial-d-the-movie/#findComment-1503958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
180Pete Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yeah i agree with what most people say here, it was really weird, cool cars, good scenery but the interpretation of the original story was terrible. To every one who has seen this, if you havent seen the original anime, please do, its sooo much better Pete Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/80849-initial-d-the-movie/#findComment-1513629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
