Informazioni su questo film

Lilly e Lana Wachowski portano un classico degli anime sul grande schermo: Matthew Fox, John Goodman, Christina Ricci e Susan Sarandon affiancano Emile Hirsch nei panni di Speed Racer, un giovane con la passione per le corse automobilistiche nel sangue. A bordo della sua Mach 5, per Speed è un gioco da ragazzi far mangiare la polvere alla concorrenza. Ma quando rifiuta l'offerta delle Royalton Industries, Speed incorre nell'ira del suo folle proprietario e scopre un terribile segreto: il risultato delle più grandi gare è deciso a tavolino da un gruppo di magnati senza scrupoli! Per salvare l'officina di famiglia e lo sport che ama, Speed dovrà battere Royalton al suo stesso gioco. Sostenuto dalla famiglia e dalla sua ragazza Trixie, Speed decide di fare squadra con il suo ex-rivale, il misterioso Racer X, per vincere la gara che è costata la vita a suo fratello, Rex Racer: il letale rally cross country conosciuto come Casa Cristo.

Valutazioni e recensioni

I watched speed racer the cartoon when it came out. The things I like about this movie are the A,B,C, buttons; the jumper, the M5 design. This film has some of the best actors around like Susan Sarandon and Hiroyuki Sanada. The best bits are the desert race and the final race. Everything else I had to fast forward to make this film watchable. So, literally I just watch speed racer push some button, jumped around, and Susan Sarandon's incredible acting skill which is her ability to react to nothing. If I watched the whole movie, I would have hated it. Fast forward made it into just a "don't like it" score. Go speed racer goooooooooooooooooo. Hay speed racer, the secret engine design is etched on the wind shield BTW.

I bought this movie in all formats it's that good. Even if you are not a speed racer fan it's still worth owning then a simple rent. I just regret following all the negative scores from unreliable sources and not seeing it in the theater when it was first released. I will look for film critic website who give it a bad score because they lost my trust in their grading system that especially goes for Rotten tomatoes and IGN.

Screw the Rotten Tomatoes score! This movie was probably and STILL IS one of THE BEST Anime addaption from show to film. Yes, its colorful, over the top.... But, seeing what they had to work with, its a VERY FUN film! XD I love how peops will complain about Speed's character. 😑 He was even MORE of a carboard cutout in the anime. So, if you're like me and was dissapointed in the likes of Dragon Ball Evolution, Avitar The Last Airbender and now recently Netflix Death Note, give this one a chance.
