Speed Racer (spoiler)
SithMaster:
Has no one seen this yet or did everyone think it was horrible and forget to tell me? When I went to my private showing (seriously it was my friends and me with about 7 random people) I enjoyed the experience and thought that this should have a sequel. Now I don't believe I've ever seen the original speed racer cartoon so maybe it's an old timer thing were you can't like the movie because <spoiler> rex fakes his death<spoiler>.
AtomSmasher:
The first 7 minutes are available online http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808406004/info
I kind of wanted to see it until I saw the first few minutes and decided to rent it instead. I doubt it will get a sequel though since it only made $18.6 million, coming in third, on opening weekend, and is being considered a bomb in the box office. It's also getting horrible reviews and will likely have a hard time making enough money to become profitable. Apparently the star of the film fired his agent after the box office and reviews came in.

I enjoyed it. Not great literature by any means, but a fun flick. I was not a viewer of the original series and I've been told if you are then this flick will irritate you. I think it's worth going to see for the visuals alone. The black-light/neon look to some of the racing was cool stuff.
FrizzleFried:
It's getting slammed by the media. It also earned less than half of expectations. I never liked the cartoon so I doubt seriously I will enjoy the movie.
Cakemeister:
I enjoyed it, too. Not recommended for epileptics, though.
