So Speed Racer is good? I've been worrying over that one a lot.

DUDE! I drove an hour to go see it in IMAX. Then I drove it again 3 days later.

If you're a Speed Racer freak like me, it's got everything you want. They stay real true to the story arc of the series, and they add in a sort of prequel and encore- that is, they show Speed when he's a kid and Rex is still living at home racing (through flashbacks of course, but really well done and there's a good half hour of it), and... well, I can't ruin the end for you, but it's pretty sweet.

They picked all the right actors too. Everyone looks and acts like they should. And if you're a gamer, every race is like watching a video game. It's all like some of kind of insane Mario Kart on acid. They overdid the CGI on the non-race scenes too, in a good way.

And I could babble on about it forever, but I should get to work.
