Can we talk about the movie Speed Racer and why it gets too much hate

I watched Speed Racer again last Saturday night and I still think it's a great time. Yeah the CGI is over the top and the plot is simple, but the racing scenes are pure fun and the colors pop like crazy. Everyone I know calls it a flop but I say it captures the cartoon spirit better than most comic book movies. Has anyone else found a guilty pleasure flick that everyone else seems to trash?

I mean is it really getting that much hate or are people just not as into it as you are? It came and went, it's not like it ruined anyone's childhood or anything.

Oh man I gotta disagree with zarab24 on this one, the hate for Speed Racer is definitely real and louder than people admit. The movie got clowned on so hard when it came out for the CGI and the "kiddie" tone, but it's one of the few live action adaptations that actually felt like the cartoon come to life instead of trying to be all dark and gritty. I think it's way more fun than half the superhero movies people defend these days, even if the plot is just a bunch of racing family drama strung together.
