I just saw the movie "Howard the Duck" today for the first time.
One of the best movie's ever made.

.....

Ok, maybe not, but it's fucking awesome.

Anyway, Speed Racer.

I've been excited about this movie ever since it's conception a while ago. If you haven't seen the preview, check it out.

Speed Racer Movie Trailer

Now STOP!

I know some people are going to see that, and be like "WTFIZDISSHITZOMFG!?", and for different reasons. Some people think it will ruin the integrity of the awesomeness that is Speed Racer, which is an understandable apprehension. Other people however, I think are making a VERY important mistake, in that they see that preview, and think "What the hell? That looks like a kid's movie".

You are wrong. The mistake you are making, is confusing stylization, with genre. Yes, the movie does appear to have a cartoonish look to it, but it is purposefully stylized to appear that way.

Remember, this is coming to us from the Wachowski Bros.- the people who supplied us with The Matrix, and "V for Vendetta". They are known for taking liberties with cinematography, and breaking bounds with innovation.

Besides. It's Speed Racer guys. Speed freaking Racer. That alone makes it deserve a chance.
