I personally was a HUGE speed racer fan growing up and am a huge fan of the movie. Bottomline, I thought the movie was fun and tried to be hip with today's expectations.

To please the old-school fans, here's a list I would include (or change): (1) Keep the story with the Mach 5 (instead of the Mach 4 and Mach 6). (2) One of the buttons on the Mach 5 was not a tire shield- it was its lighting system. (3) The car never went under water, use the homing robot, nor cut trees. (4) The jacks on the car was a premium feature other cars should not have had. (5) The story sucked.... should have use the storyline from "The Most Dangerous Race". (6) The GRX was mentioned but never raced as the "most fastest car on earth". (7) Snake Oiler should had been an expert racer and a member of the Car Acrobatic Team. (8) Sparky did not have an accent. And the Mother was hotter. Spridle was so, so but lacked the froggy voice. (9) The intro and song of Speed Racer was missing :-( And just other stuff I would had changed: (1) Movie way too long. (2) Didn't feel that "Go Speed Go" feeling during the races. (3) Made a simple story complex by flashing back too many times. (4) Did not look realistic (like Fast and the Furious), looked more like Cars. (5) Some of the special effects were over the top. Not even the cartoons pushed it the way this movie did. What I did enjoy: (1) When Speed was a boy imagining to be a race car driver. (2) The mountain race scenes. I would had changed this movie into 4 shows, (like Twilight Zone: The Movie). Each show would be a modified script from the cartoon series. There... I ranted...

As a fan I'm glad that they kept it like the tv show, the outfits, action (it seems), all the looks and other lil details of it. Nowadays comic books/games movies r so into Hollywood style, actors who don't look exactly like the chars and all just playing the role cuz they r popular, clothes and all different too just to "look cool" but this move is so faithful, actual fans working on it and it itself is more than a reason for me to spend my "10 bucks" on it...I just didn't like the all colorful futuristic tracks and some scenes :/ to me it would b a lot more interesting and exciting to make it like the tv show places in the wild, mountains and all...lol I agree w/ that guy who said it looks like rollerball unfortunately...even tho as my bf said maybe they were concerning about street racing, ppl trying stupid things on the road like some fast and furious fans around...despite it I'm really excited about the movie and I hope they film it like in the wild next time :) just it :) I can’t wait for it, I’m fan of the tv show and even the nintendo game since I was kid lol It was an amazing show, really, ppl there actually exploded in their cars while racing, really dangerous races, kung fu moves, fantastic machines and a good story…just the action of it was far ahead the time back then comparing w/ other shows.

That's 2 animation fans in their 40's (who have never heard of nor seen the Speed Racer cartoon) and two 8 year olds. Keep in mind we are people who usually hate movies that everyone loves (Titanic, Happy Feet), and love what they hate (Horton Hears a Who). We did hear people saying they are glad they didn't pay for it. From the second row it was like being in the driver's seat. 8.5 outa 10. Our family just saw a Sneak Preview of Speed Racer.

Go watch the cartoon first then post a comment. And to the rest. What do you expect? You geeks are complaining while downloading everything for free. No wonder that they targeting kids who will drag their parents into this movie. Thanks to brainless mtv idiots like you that this industry will only produce films for kids and retards. Keep on downloading frackers and shut up. If I read all those comments of all the jerks who have never seen the original cartoon. Go watch the cartoon first then post a comment. And to the rest.
