I'm finding that most everyone I know who's seen SPEED RACER is enjoying it and not getting headaches or becoming too confused about the plot, unlike the critics who have dismissed it. I don't know if it's a classic in the making, but I can certainly say once again that it's worth a shot, especially if you've got kids (my nephew, who's 9, likewise got a big kick out of it).Headquarters 10https://www.blogger.com/profile/17099693396976890051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907572287715763095.post-16421687167629091202008-05-10T02:38:00.000-04:002008-05-10T02:38:00.000-04:00"Those of you out there who are going to brush thi..."Those of you out there who are going to brush this one off as Hollywood blockbuster crap will be missing something unique: A technological blockbuster with some heart. It’s a most enjoyable movie going experience and it deserves a shot. It’s not the second coming of cinema, but it’s a hell of a lot better than it has any right to be."<BR/><BR/>Right on, Matthew. I just got out of <I>Speed Racer</I> after having seen it with my two daughters, and we're all ready to go back tomorrow. This movie was a total surprise, and it's a shame that the movie's inevitably weak box-office weekend will be construed as proof that the movie is as bad as some say it is. But it's not a bad movie. It's quite a good one, in fact. Your exceptionally evenhanded review capsulizes how I felt about it-- though I probably will give a shot at writing about <I>Speed Racer</I> myself, just because I know so many will be preemptively dismissive of it.Dennis Cozzaliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954848938471883431noreply@blogger.com
