My age will show....
I was a big fan of the cartoon series....I had to run home from school each day if I wanted to get there in time to catch it.
We took my 10 year old stepson and his friends to it as a part of his birthday stint this past weekend. The boys loved it.
The effects were cool but having followed the cartoon series it was just not the same.
We chose to see it at a Movie Studio Grill so food and beer flowed throughout the flick to keep Dad happy.

alil off topic but man i wish we could get the beer n food at the movies :(
I know the expensive Gold class cinema gives you some drinks and lil finger food thats it tho im curious what it would be like to have dinner when watching a movie
Still im a huge fan of the cartoon (also astroboy hell yeah that would be a good movie if they used the same affects they did in iron man) but from the lil clips i saw they really didn't follow the cartoon which is probably why i won't like it that much probably still a fun film just not really worth of speed racer name compared to the cartoon

Nothing like being fed cold drafts while you watch the show.

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.

Honestly the racing scenes were my favorite parts and makes me wish the video game for the wii was slightly better. If only NASCAR had long jumps and spikes that popped out of the ground.
