just got back from the screening and it didn't even come close to sucking as bad as I thought it would...

story was average, but this thing is gonna rock on blu ray when it comes out! definitely kept the spirit of the cartoon series...

Zero interest in this movie. The Road & Track test drive on the Mach 5 was pretty funny though.

I will only see if it he crashes and pops says "waaaaah! MY CAR!" I always loved how pops seemed to care more about the Mach 5 than he did his own son.

Looks like pretty standard Wachowski brothers fare... spend 95% of your budget and time on visuals and pray to god nobody points out how poor the actual MOVIE is.

the trailers make Baby Jesus cry, but then again I haven't seen the Speed Racer cartoon in like 25 years or so

I hated that fucking cartoon, I can't imagine liking the movie it was based on.
