Sorry you have no inner child left in your soul. Why go to a kids movie to review a film that you know nothing of the original cartoon. I've watched the first few episodes to catch up for this movie. I watched this in the 60's & 70's and as an adult do look forward to the movie. When I sit in that darkened theater I'll fire up all those old memories of that long ago time when I watched Speed fight off ninjas and drive cars over dangerous mountain roads. The episodes I re-watched did have plots mister Reed and it seems many of those elements are in the new film. Crazy races and flashing lights, dramatic camera moves and monkeys hitting bad guys over the head are in the original anime so I think my inner child will be happy as pie. The original cartoon had a running plot about Racer X being his brother but Speed was always missing the chance to prove it. All of the things you bitch about are from the original show. As a 45 year old SPEED RACER fan I'll end up watching this on my HDTV while your out at some new years party getting your ass kissed because you were so smart to still not see IRON MAN- why you would skip IRON MAN but go to and review SPEED RACER, I mean did you review the POKEMON MOVIE or the CAREBEARS movies too? I would love to see those 2 reviews reprinted. Your IRON MAN comment was just stupid. IRON MAN was the first film I paid to see this year that I enjoyed paying for. When I go to see Speed later in the week I know going in I'm going to a movie made for 10 year old boys. Did you?
