i dont know why everybody is trash talking this movie it was really good! sure the plot wasnt anything spectacular but the acting was top notch and the whole movie was just 2 hour eye candy it all looked amazing! this will hopefully be blu-ray demo material for audio and video

I doubt that WB would announce this title this soon after it's box office debut. Memorial Day weekend is still to come, and IMAX has it booked for a couple more weekends.

One of the UK more known film critics (BBC's Mark kermode) gave it a pretty good (and funny!) review on his radio show (which is recorded and put on youtube) where he talks about how amazing it is visually:

Lol the Anime itself was pretty bad.. it was Wash and Rince at each episode or almost...

My guess as to the reason why this film isn't playing well is that the Wachowskis made a film FOR Speed Racer fans. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be as many as they hoped for. I personally loved the cartoon when it was re-released on cable in the '90s and the movie was kick-ass. It was probably the most fun I've had in a theater since Serenity (another small TV to film adventure that wasn't seen much in theaters).
