Speed Racer looks really good. I'll give them that. The story wasn't really for me but there was nothing particularly wrong with it either. It's just a straightforward kid's movie with the best darned effects this side of Space Mountain.
Now for the caveats portion of our review. I've seen a few episodes of Speed Racer on Cartoon Network, but I remember about 45 seconds total of the show. The monkey stands out. So this puppy might have been laced with in-jokes and homages all over the place that the "true" fans will love
