Speed Racer (2008) - Can Eyeballs Vomit?

Eyyuchhh! With nothing better to do, I rented the Speed Racer movie last night and watched it. I knew it was a bust at the box office. I knew it was widely panned. But I'm a big Matthew Fox fan and I thought, maybe it just disappointed people because it was supposed to be a family film and an homage to the cartoon. When the Spritle character, who always annoyed me in the cartoon, is flicking off the bad guys, the "family movie" argument starts to fall apart.

In addition to the Pokemon-like seizure-inducing visuals, the plot itself was just terrible. This was a real stinker.

I guess when the same masses (probably Joe the plumber and his wife) that raised "Beverly Hill Chihuahua" to the #1 grossing movie 2 weekends in a row fails to support a film, that should be a real warning sign. Speed Racer's warning sign should say:

DANGER- YOU ARE ABOUT LOSE 2 HOURS OF YOUR LIFE. AND YOUR RETINAS WILL PUKE.
