Fun but too long

I was very excited to see this movie as I was an avid fan of the Speed Racer cartoon as a child. The movie does indeed translate the cartoon into live action quite well but does so in any overlong and simplistic manner. The film seems to be geared toward an 6-8 year old audience. The visuals are fantastic if a bit overdone at times. In particular, the use of sliding individual characters across the frame to move from scene to scene was overused and annoying! The acting was fine but could have used more substance in the script. I had a good time but felt the film would have been much stronger at 90 to 110 minutes.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
