Seeing how much I enjoyed the original animated show, I turned off my critical thinking, and went in with the mentality mentioned above, and to expect the crazy races, with the unbelievable maneuvering cars, gadgets, weapons, plot, that the original had.
SPEED RACER 2008 DVD MOVIE
One good review however, mentioned that this is a live action cartoon, and in order to enjoy the movie it's best to go in thinking this way. Regardless, I had read a lot of bad reviews when this movie came out in theaters. And seeing at the theater no less! My hats off to The Wachowski Brothers, and the rest of the cast and crew for putting together something different for a change.īlu-Ray is Amazing! The clarity, in this movie, is beyond anything I've seen thus far on blu-ray, not to say that other blu-ray titles aren't clear or awesome looking, but this just has such a polish to it, maybe it's the cg mixed with live action that made it look so good.

Take the artistic elements of this movie, and put it together with the amazing cast (both looks and talent) and throw it together with a very different but coherent plot, and you've got yourself an extremely enjoyable movie that is definitely worth seeing. The use of bright photography that's added behind a green screen makes for a far more dramatic effect. I did not see The Matrix, but I would say that anyone who liked Sin City for its cinematography and graphic elements, would love Speed Racer. On an artistic level, it is extremely hard to think of any other movie that comes close to being in the same league. I don't see anyone else having portrayed any of these characters any better than the cast that was hired to do so. Also, having such an incredible cast makes it all the more intriguing. For it being a movie, it was nice to see something so different as far as the approach to making it go.

That aside, as far as it being a movie and a work of art, I would give this movie high marks in both categories. I'm now intrigued to go back and check out some episodes of Speed Racer. I don't believe anyone who considers themselves truly knowledgeable about Tatsuo Yoshida's work can say that this was not represented well on the big screen. Although, this is still a different type of situation where one who was a big fan of the shows might be seriously critical of every little detail of the turned movie.
SPEED RACER 2008 DVD SERIES
I must admit that I know, or knew rather, very little about the story or history of Speed Racer- and his TV series - and maybe that is why I enjoyed this movie so much. While definitely a case of style over substance, SPEED RACER is a movie meticulously designed to appeal to families and kids, especially the Spritle-like young ones.įirst Place Winner.but not at the box office.

Adding to the movie's giddy mood are Paulie Litt and his chimp companion, who provide comic relief as Speed's playful younger brother, Spritle, and Chim Chim, respectively. Though the eye-popping visuals threaten to eclipse the acting, the fine cast gamely makes the most of their green-screen environment, particularly the likable Hirsch, who won acclaimed for his decidedly different INTO THE WILD role, and LOST's always-noble Fox. When Speed garners the wrath of Royalton Industries, he must team up with the enigmatic Racer X (Matthew Fox) to defeat the ruthless corporation.Written and directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski, the masterminds behind the MATRIX films, SPEED RACER replaces the gritty techno patina of that blockbuster series with a polished, brightly hued virtual reality. Aided by his family, which includes Pops Racer (John Goodman) and Mom Racer (Susan Sarandon), and his devoted doe-eyed girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed racks up victory after victory, but still lives in the shadow of his late older brother, Rex (Scott Porter), who died in a race.
