I see small mistakes in a movie like Jupiter Ascending, which overall I loved, and Cloud Atlas, another movie I thoroughly enjoyed.

Speed Racer is in my opinion a perfect movie. Shamelessly earnest, bright and colorful, audacious, tremendous action, flawless execution of tone and vision. It was rejected by the public.

The biggest specific complaints I hear about *all* three of these movies is that they are "corny." Corny dialogue, corny story, corny twists in the plot, etc.

I translate corny to mean earnest, because I've never once taken issue with the Wachowskis' brand of "corniness."
