Despite it's estimated $180+ million budget, Speed Racer only managed to bring in $20.2 million this weekend. Ouch! Someone's gonna get brought into the office for a long talk.
Many critics claim the film abandoned it's audience by not bringing any of the elements from the japanese cartoon into the film. Further, critics say it's just a special effects show. What's wrong with that? Critics said Slyvester Stallone's Driven was bad, but I loved it. Sometimes, critics are just old dudes looking for something to complain about.

Yeah, but sometimes, they're right. To me, this movie looks like a real cheese-fest and isn't something I'll be seeing. I'm guessing the film's gross over the weekend shows how many people feel the same.
The Wachowski bros certainly put a lot of effort into making Speed Racer... the movie overall looked and felt like a cross between anime, a kaleidoscope, that Flintstones movie, a video game and the Dukes of Hazard
ha...nice explanation.
