Speed Racer

I just saw it this afternoon. I thought it was great. It was a live action cartoon. The colors were so super saturated, I felt like I was getting a sugar rush from watching the screen and everything was in focus. The story was good, with enough twists and turns to keep me interested and the performances were good as well.
Plus, John Goodman beats up on a Ninja, or as he puts it "More like a Non-ja." along with a disparaging comment about how they don't make ninjas like they used to.
For a theater filled with children it was dead silent. There were no bored children (or adults) there. I don't understand why it isn't doing as well at the theater. This would seem like a perfect family film, parents as well as kids can enjoy it.
I will be buying this on DVD when it comes out.
Run, don't walk to see this before it leaves theaters.
