Speed Racer

Let me first say that i haved loved Speed Racer since i was a kid. i always thought it was so cool, cooler than me and my tastes. I loved it from a distance though, not like living the experience like Star Wars or Indiana Jones. Nevertheless, i was excited to see it being made a few years back, and since i don't have little boys, i didn't get to the theater to see it. I'd heard it was a train wreck. The box office receipts were abysmal. And i figured i'd wait for it to come to cable. And so i did, and so it did, and i sat to watch it this week. WORST. MOVIE. EVER. i gave it about 15 minutes and turned it off. Like i said before, i don't know everything about speed racer, but this movie was unwatchable. it was as lame as the old cartoons were cool. if you have premium channels through your cable or satellite provider, do yourself a favor and gouge your eyes out with a fork, then pour gasoline in the ocular cavities and strike a match before you sit for this movie. i am as open-minded about movies as one can be, but this is the absolute worst i've ever seen.
