Go Speed Racer!
I would just like to let everyone know that I thought the Speed Racer movie was SWEET! I don’t think the critics judged it correctly. Yes it’s doing horrible in sales, but don’t let that stop you from going to see it.
Here is a positive quote taken from www.ivc2.com :
“On the positive side audiences treated Speed Racer a good deal better than the critics, giving the film an “A-“ grade on Cinemascore, which could mean that good word of mouth will help the film in the coming weeks. If Speed Racer doesn’t pick up momentum at the box office, or later on DVD where its prospects could be considerably better, it will likely spell trouble for companies producing Speed Racer toys and merchandise. “
So there you have it. Go see the movie. Don’t believe the bad reviews. Critics are crazy, this movie is awesome!

The Wachowski bros certainly put a lot of effort into making Speed Racer… the movie overall looked and felt like a cross between anime, a kaleidoscope, that Flintstones movie, a video game and the Dukes of Hazard

I would agree with that description. Probably felt like the Flintstones movie cuz of John Goodman. Video game-wise, I would say it felt like F-Zero and Mario Kart. I definitely enjoyed the fight scenes and race battles with the cars flipping in the air.
