Title: Re: Speed Racer Movie: reviews Post by: jclin on May 09, 2008, 12:54:26 PM I was sort of looking forward to this movie, but rottentomatoes always makes my final decision. Speed racer might not even be netflixxed with that pathetic score!

On a high note, www.hulu.com just added the entire first season of the cartoon online! wt: (yes, there are commercials, but they're only 15 seconds long) Title: Re: Speed Racer Movie: reviews Post by: androgynous on May 10, 2008, 10:06:06 AM i saw it with my brother he loved it

As far as Speed Racer the Movie, looks super lame from the previews. :P Title: Re: Speed Racer Movie: reviews Post by: Jaman on May 12, 2008, 09:06:37 AM I have been looking forward to this since I first caught wind of it, I was a HUGE fan when I was a kid, it was the only thing besides skiing & Christams that could get me outta bed early...
I read a REALLY bad/scathing review before I saw it & started to get worried. I loved it. I thought they did a great job with the casting, the car fights, etc - they captured the flavor of the original very well (campiness included), and added on to it nicely. My thought after seeing the movie, was that anyone who doesn't like the movie, likely didn't watch/like the cartoon as a kid...

If you look at rottentomatoes.com the official percentage is crap but the RT community is giving it a 76%
