Speed Racer

I'm glad that eight years on we have, for the most part, as a culture, finally accepted that Speed Racer is the Wachowski's masterpiece. read more

speed: sounds beefy, pops. ... i like beef. i liked this movie, too. that is all. read more

speed racer is about a kid called speed racer (not even kidding), who races in a speedy fashion to save the family business. look, if you want me to sell you some high art perspective on it youre at the wrong address because that is pretty much the gist of it. speed racer's sense of speed, use of colors, and cartoon-like spirit are simply unreal and not guaranteed simply by choosing animation as a medium. it's not trying to make excuses for what it inherently is – a live-action cartoon. part of #animationweek over at: https://www.back-row.com/home/2017/5/19/carlos-corner-5-live-action-cartoons... read more

speed racer manages to overcome its overwhelming levels of digital artifice by infusing the story with a lot of heart and genuine human emotion. even the hyper-kinetic racing set pieces often have emotional stakes as much as it has anything else. i feel like that's high praise, considering just how unreal this movie gets- especially outside the race scenes. entire environments look like they're from some kind of cartoon reality and are painfully trying to become fully real. so for the movie to offset that by giving us characters we actually care about- is pretty impressive. something real in... read more

sorry für mich ist es eine 12/10 es ist schwierig zu erklären warum ich diesen film so sehr mag. es ist eine mischung aus kindheit und autos. ich liebe autos und mein 12 jähriges ich war hin und weg, als ich ein film sehe wo autos waffen und rumspringen. ein traum für mich. aber ich weiss, dass dieser film viele probleme hat aber es ist mir komplett egal. ich kriege bis heute noch immer am ende gänsehaut und das kann ich nicht von vielen filmen behaupten. read more

mad max but everyone's driving hot wheels cars and the overlords worship the stock market. a fun and obscenely beautiful romp. read more

i remember when this movie was first being released in theaters, and i thought it was one of the coolest looking movie trailers i had ever seen up to that point. and it still holds up, 10 years later. the wachowskis managed to perfectly adapt speed racer into a visually appealing and extremely stylistic racer movie that balances live-action blended with typical anime styles, in so far as visual effects, character portrayals, and overall conflict. the beginning of the movie actually really got to me as i remember my younger days lost in imagination during school, and it was extremely nostalgic... read more

eu sou o cara do "esse filme que as pessoas acham ruim na verdade ~e bom" e esse filme merece tudo disso possivel. i am the "this ill received movie is actually good" guy and this movie is the poster boy of this and deserves it all. read more

Not to be the kind of guy who geeks out over transitions and whatnot but this really is outstanding from a digital filmmaking/editing standpoint. Having never seen this until I reached adulthood a lot of the more juvenile humour just leaves me non-plussed (mostly Spritle and Chim Chim's antics, although the smash cut to them air guitaring to "Free Bird" rocks) but I am aware that movie was obviously made for families so it's not a major grievance. This might be the most overlooked John Goodman supporting role of the bunch, he genuinely feels moved by everything happening, but also delivers... read more

This movie (minus the day scenes) is most definitely in the new animation style discussion. I went into this movie expecting spykids 3d and while my expectation were met sometimes, they were blown away in some other scenes. read more
