I don't get what the reviewers are complaining about - they've seen too many art movies, I guess. Speed Racer rocks! 2 hrs 15 minutes flew by - just like speed! Granted, there were a few times the movie seemed to slow down, but the plot required it. I LOVED the racing scenes - should have been more! My only complaint is, there wasn't enough of the Mach 5. It was the star of the TV series, it should have been given more play in the movie. Pops never built a "Mach 6" - he just fixed up the "5" and made it better. Go Speed!
