Waste of time

best movie i've ever seen.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Speed racer I'm not sure why people hate this movie so much and I'm not going to waste my time reading their reviews to find out why. If I had to guess, I would say the hate stems from people going into this movie expecting to watch a Matrix like movie because this was the first film the directors filmed after. Whatever, it is campy but also serious at other times. The acting is okay but the action is amazing. It is cool neo-retro racer action. Only if they waited 5 to 10 years for the special effects to totally catch up with what they where trying to do. Regardless, this film is entertaining and that is all that matters.

It may have died a commercial death, but "Speed Racer" is a thoroughly entertaining movie, and it was a highlight in a very rocky Summer movie season. This movie does a bang-up job with the racing scenes, which are invigorating, but it also keeps things moving during the quieter scenes (thanks mostly to its inventive visual style and family-centric story). I don't normally get into the rapid-fire insert shots of clutch-and-shift (I'm looking at you Fast and Furious movies), but it fits in with the rhythm of the scenes. Or it may be because this is a live-action cartoon. But either way, the action in this movie works.This is a great family movie with a winning cast (damn can Christina Ricci pull off that anime wig), candy-colored palette and supercharged driving. The races are nail-biting and have you cheering in all the right places. The good guys win, the bad guys get theirs and it's a lot of fun.8/10

Sit down, suspend your disbelief, and watch this visually insane and surprisingly affecting film. In the spirit of the classic anime, it's full of fun characters like Snake Oiler and Inspector Detector, cool cars, ridiculous racing, and a warm family core. At the very least, you have to appreciate this as an exercise in fearless film-making. The visual vocabulary of the cuts and pans and wipes, the way the characters move in and out of frame, is incredibly unique and original. And it's, shockingly, mostly successful. This got lost among a flood of blaring Technicolor green-screen films like Shark Girl and Lava Boy and the Spy-Kids films. Also there was, and still is, a social backlash against the Wachowski's because of the Matrix films. In terms of the film-making risks I mentioned above, this was unfairly dismissed. This is for fun, it's a family film, (In the best ways), and it doesn't take itself too seriously. If you're too cool for it, you're only cheating yourself. There will be more fresh, ice-cold milk at the finish line for the rest of us.

As an adult, i want to describe the movie as a non stop trip on drugs. It is fast, it is a blur of colours, it has a simplistic story (well, in a good way).For a kid, it might all be a little too much - too much hyper, but it is a roller-coaster ride with its very own style from what i can tell.Artistically, it is one of the best or most unique and successful adaptations from comic/animation to - well... lets call it live action for what its worth.This is a mindless movie - but for me it was some 2 hours that were anything but boring - and that considering that i do not like cars, racing, kids in movies - and i especially hate monkeys (in movies and RL)
