Speed Racer crashes and burns

Seriously, did anyone watch the trailer to this movie and think, "Wow! I've gotta see that!"? Apparently, Warner Bros can't believe more people didn't think that and may have trumped their numbers to claim a number two spot for a weekend open gross.

WHAT A DISASTER! 'Speed Racer' $20M Weekend Half What Warner Bros Hoped; Rival Studios Accuse WB Of Inflating #s


This, by the brothers that gave us The Matrix. But, it seems to fit:

The Matrix - great movie.

Matrix 2 - not so good.

Matrix 3 - (I quote from Love Actually) A festering turd.

Speed Racer - churned bile and other matter.

Look for the DVD next week.

The Wachowski bros certainly put a lot of effort into making Speed Racer... but the movie overall looked and felt like a cross between anime, a kaleidoscope, that Flintstones movie, a video game and the Dukes of Hazard
