Did anybody see Speed Racer?
I saw it a few days ago. It was really good. I liked the cheezy overacting like a cartoonish-character would do.
The special effects were great which were true to the Matrix-brother's style.
I give it 4 out 5 bobs (:bob::bob::bob::bob:)

Yeah, I was really happy with this. I don't know what everyone else got out of it, but it was an awesome blend of high-tech now with the nostalgia that I felt for the series.
Warning: This really is a kid's movie.
Anyway, the colors are bright and vibrant, and the actors really are playing cartoon characters, so they ham it up a little bit. Speed never kisses his girlfriend, and the monkey eats a bunch of candy without dying. ;D The villains are predictable, but hey, it's a kids show.
Watching this movie made me remember how I felt the first time I saw anime- the characters were smooth, the lines were different. I grew up watching cartoons, but this was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was beautiful.
Anyway, that's how I felt watching this movie- the colors are vibrant and beautiful, the characters are fun, the storyline is simple and happy, and the acting is pretty good, given that the characters are spouting lines that sound like they were fed from a twenty-year-old anime movie.

That's a good way to sum up the movie. I thought it was very under-rated. It should have been a bigger advertised movie but maybe that it is as good as it is....a delightful surprise.
I loved the cheezy cartoonish lines. They were great and what made the movie so enthralling.
I will definitely buy this when it hits video.

Yeah, this is one of my video picks, too.
(I love movies, but I'm pretty selective about what I'll buy and actually keep at my house).
