Movie critics usually give low grades to action movies and kids movies.

Gay cowboys? They LOVE that genre.


Because that was one of the most poignant movies of the decade.

Thank you! I swear all the Wachowskis did was get stoned and play that game to come up with this one.

Or this movie (G.I. Joe)

I saw it in Vegas after my course wrapped up early and had 9 hours before the flight back. Good popcorn flick but slightly overlong.

I liked it, although sometimes I wasn't quite sure. It's like an ocular orgasm that's rubbing your eyeballs raw.

Anyway. I'm quite certain there have been worse movies made.


Like "It's Pat".

Just thought I'd add my 20원. I was really looking forward to this movie. I enjoyed watching the cartoon as a kid, not that I can specificly remember much about the cartoon. Other than the basics, like it was about racing, the main characters and I liked it. When the movie came out it got such bad reviews that I didn't go see it right away.

Checked on my movie download site and it showed up so figured i'd check the quality. (image quality ended up being a handy cam version) So I watched the first 30 minutes of the movie and decided I wanted to go so it. I can see why some people didn't like the movie, but that doesn't mean it should be given bad reviews by everyone. I really enjoyed the movie, I'm glad I went to see it in the theater. (on a side note I went to a 9:30 showing this week and I was the only person in the theater, literely, not a single soul).

The movie seems to follow the cartoon pretty good. I liked the racing and it seemed like a good overall movie. Now granted it would have been better at like 1 hour 45 minute running time but still it wasn't a horrible movie, and it was no where near bad enough to leave in the middle. That reminds me, I haven't really ever seen a movie that I wanted to leave in the middle... until I saw 'Michael Clayton' with George Clooney. Good heavens that had to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I watched it here in Korea and the only reason i stayed was because i thought it would get better. Comming out of the theater all of the Korean people were complaining how bad it was. Just strange.. maybe I didn't get the movie. My wife really really really wanted to leave during the movie but I kept saying it would get better, it had to. Just didn't.

Right, sooo, back to Speed Racer. I enjoyed it. I recomend it to those that enjoyed the cartoon, or even japanese anime in general.
