Now this was a great underrated movie that i was glad to see it in theaters last year! too bad it got mixed reviews although Time Magazine put it on their top movies of 2008 and did bad at the box-office.

I thought the movie was well casted and was truly faithful to the classic anime show thanks to the Wachowski Brothers who made "The Matrix" and "V For Vendetta". This movie is sure to be a future cult classic just like "Blade Runner". OOoh Christina Ricci was smokin' hot as Trixie in this one and was perfect to play her, i also like the film's comedy and visual style.

Perhaps the greatest live-action toon movie since "Transformers" or "Ninja Turtles 1990", yet even better then "Masters of the Universe" or "Popeye".

        I liked the movie even if the acting wasn't that good. The voice acting in the anime wasn't that great either but it's still one of my favorite shows I used to watch on MTV.

          Well the movie is basically just pop art thanks to the creators of "The Matrix". The film i thought was better then both "Flintstones" and "Scooby Doo" all combined while "Alvin and The Chipmunks" was decent.

          If only they could have released this movie earlier in April instead of May where it was a big month last year. Oh well, at least it's got big sales in the DVD market and looks great on Blu-Ray, i think it's a masterpiece as it could be the next "Blade Runner". Afterall both BR and SR got bad box-office receptions and mixed reviews then later rediscovered.

            I wouldn't put it up there with Blade Runner, but I didn't know it did well in DVD sales. When I saw it in theaters there were only 10-12 people watching it.

                    Well first off Masters Of The Universe The Movie was horribly cheesy

                    look at this if you don't believe me:

                    http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/1184-he-man-and-the-masters-of-the-universe

                    And I think that the Speed Racer move tried hard, but come on, Speed Racer the cartoon was just as bad as it's movie counter part.

                    Same goes for Land of The Lost. Not that I don't personally love both those shows or anything

                      The Speed Racer Manga is better than the Anime. It's not as cheesy.
