Speed Racer

This movie is dumb. Much like the original cartoon. As the roommate said: "If I were eight this would have been awesome". Its like the Warchowski's dumped their Crayolas and Hot Wheel sets into a big CGI blender...

Still John Goodman beating up a ninja and a Viking screaming CROOOOM are both kind of cool. If only the majority of the acting wasn't so damn terrible. And I know I'm supposed to WANT to punch Spritle in his face. I've seen the original cartoon, I remember that. But MAN do I really want to punch him in the face...

A buddy of mine described it this way: "It's like the American remake of Godzilla. It's a five star movie when the cgi is on the screen, and a half star movie whenever acting is involved. Best seen when intoxicated."
