Rotten Tomatoes says “Consensus: Overloaded with headache-inducing effects, without a coherent script. The Wachowski Brothers have overloaded Speed Racer with headache-inducing special effects, and neglected to develop a coherent storyline.” Accordingly, it has a 34% on their “T-Meter”.

I’ll admit that I was turned off by the heavy technicolor CGI in the preview I saw, but I am withholding judgement until David sees it and reports back. I figure if the Gear Diary car critic says it’s a must-see, then I might.

Here are the first seven minutes of Speed Racer; are you going to see it tomorrow?

[warning - you may have to watch a quick commercial before things get started]
