I am a film studies graduate and at school I had a chance to watch and analyse many films spanning the last 100 years. Speed Racer is similar to films like The Man Who Fell To Earth and Bladerunner. SR is not similar in subject matter but rather in the way in which it was received by audiences. People did not understand what they were watching. It was above their heads and like TMWFTE and BR, SR is above people's heads and will most like not do well at the box office..but this is only the beginning. In 1982 when Bladerunner came out, it was a flop and was panned by critics. Over 20 years later, the film has been listed as one of the all time classics. SR will end up in that category as well. First..the editing was beyond anything I have ever seen in my life. The use of profiles and movement, split focus (where two object at different distances are clearly shown) and transitional shots between SR's past and his current life are incredible. The kind of co-ordination it must have taken to get the right profile or image to suit the storyline and the speech of the character must have been mind-boggling. In the future, this film will be remember for the groundbreaking animation sequences and the way it was seamlessly blended with live action. I was blown away!!! You are literally watching a film and a cartoon at the same time...spectacular! The Wachowski brothers managed to make a film while remaining true to orginal animated series even to the point where towards the end you Speed jump out of the car and fall into the famous side pose he does in the cartoon...too much!!!
The use of colour was phenomenal!!! The word saturation does not even begin to describe the colours we saw in that film. This film is really ahead of it's time because it raises the film genre to a whole new format. Only people who are open-minded to new visual experiences can fully appreciate this film..go Speed Racer go!

I absolutely loved this film, in every way possible.

The visuals were amazing - it was an artistic overload... like watching an Anime with real people in it!! The critics will say it's like a sugar rush and it's simply just too much - but I think it's before its time. The movie is visually stunning, and so much fun. Critics of it's style don't know how anime works, and these sorts of visuals are commonplace. It's really revolutionary how they've integrated the two mediums. Bravo!

The dialogue felt like, well, Speed Racer. The script wasn't deep, and it was never meant to be. The monologues KIND OF get a little long, but that's the fun part! It's just like the cartoon. I like them, in any case.

The music was absolutely mind blowing. The action sequences were fun and cool. The Mach 5, was nothing less than perfect.

Instant classic - one of my favorite movies of all time, right off the bat. I will buy it the day it comes out on DVD.

High hopes for a sequel, Wachowski's! Please!

Artistic in its delivery, this movie will amaze you!

I really felt like I was watching an episode of Speed Racer. The dialouge really felt natural to the series, although admitedly at a much tolerable speed. ;)

I was skeptical about the insane colors at first, but I think that's what is at the heart of this movie's genius! All of the actors were just perfect for the roles they played, too... I just cant think of one thing I disliked about the movie............................... oh wait. ROYALTON. D: J/k!

Es como volver al dibujito de mi infancia.
Los colores, es un despliegue fabuloso. Psicodelia, adrenalina, se siente estar en una carrera tremenda.
Los lazos familiares, el amor fraternal es una película maravillosa.
Todos los personajes totalmente detallados y muy bien elaborados.

amazing movie... i can't understand why the failure in the boxoffice.

but everything in this movie is just great.
bravo wachowskis

This movie will blow you away, and if not, then you deserve Chim-Chim cookies!
