Speed Racer is a show I used to love watching as a child. I especially loved the Mach 5. I used to dream about being able to drive it, racing around town, hitting whichever button dropped the stilts that made the car jump through the air. Nice, fun escapist fantasy; isn't that what cartoons are supposed to do/be?
Then I heard a couple of years ago that the Wachowski brothers wanted to do a big-screen version of it. I figured it might be okay, or at least I wanted it to be okay. It doesn't have to be the greatest, but I would hope for pretty good.
Here's a link to the trailer-selection page. Lots of people think this looks great. I think I'm in the opposite camp.
