Review of Speed Racer (2008) by Cassandra E — 21 Apr 2012

I've read lots of negative reviews of this movie. I don't know what movie those people were watching, but it wasn't Speed Racer. This movie is an almost perfect family movie, with lots of colors and action for the kids, with enough drama to keep the adults engaged full into the 2 hours+ length.

In many ways, this is a coming-of-age movie about a young boy living his dream who learns that when no one else will support you, you can always turn to family. Great action, great comedy, and awesome effects worthy of a Matrix follow-up.

Kudos to the Wachowski's. I can't wait to see what else they come up with!
