I just watched this movie ondemand the other night. I had low expectations, considering the "it sucks!" reviews from my friends and the world at large. BUT, I loved Speed Racer back in the day, so I thought I'd give it a look.
I didn't hate it--in fact I enjoyed the hell out of it. I geeked out when someone said "cool beans!" and Matthew Fox's Racer X had me all kinds of hot and bothered--especially during the ninja fight. And don't get me started when Speed jumped out of the car and did the pose! I giggled like a child!
So yeah. I'm a fan. It has cringe-worthy moments, but that just makes it all the better for me. I wouldn't recommend it for epileptics, but I made me dad watch it and he liked it too--he just didn't want to admit it.
