BOTH my sons think Speed Racer is boring and all style over substance.

I'm not one for film debate really. I can talk and even argue music to my hearts content but while I enjoy film I simply don't care enough to debate it so I'm not gonna say too much. However I've heard the opinions on both side on the fence for QT and he is simply like the Marmite of cinema. He's often worshipped yet some people can't stand his ****ing guts. Theres usually more people on one side of the fence to such a degree than there are in the middle who DONT have an opinion on Tarantino.
I've always enjoyed film and TV with fantastic dialogue and the script for me tends to be more important than anything else so I love QT but obviously the dialogue in his films isnt enough for everyone and therefore these people can start to pick at his weaknesses. Its simple really. At least thats what I've always thought.
I did my media coursework back in college on QT, by the way so I'm a bit of a fan.
