I’ve never watched the cartoons. I watched tons of Wacky Races, but never a single episode of Speed Racer.
Wasn’t too crazy about this movie. But my housemate got free tickets. So why not.
And the Matrix brothers did this film. Also, there’s some positive buzz from reliable sources.
Found the movie to be extremely enjoyable.
There’s a lot of flashing lights, and very cartoony CG effects.
I couldn’t believe an anime to Hollywood production like this actually running 2hrs plus!
But it was a wonderful visual feast. At times adrenaline pumping, and at times kooky like Willy Wonka. The comic relief managed to be funny without being painful. And surprisingly, there’s pretty decent drama too.
Another successful Wachowski Bros. film in my book.
