Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Adam Fendelman (235) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 08 May 2008

While Hollywood slapped 'PG' on Speed Racer to line its pocketbooks with the widest hodgepodge of people (ahem: kids), those same kids will…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for FilmStew.com (638) on 08 May 2008

All in all, I'm pretty sure Hunter S. Thompson had hallucinations like this…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 08 May 2008

Speed Racer intends to convey a sense of heedless momentum, but it drags painfully…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Philip Marchand (43) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 08 May 2008

The movie, unfortunately, doesn't make that leap from sensation to art, but it suggests fascinating possibilities for moviemakers interested…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Moira Macdonald (1,892) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 08 May 2008

The actors seem lost in a gumball dispenser; the audience, for the most part, might well feel the same way…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Carla Meyer (580) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 08 May 2008

It's all there: the whoosh and bash of close-contact racing, the raised-oval sliding, the loop-de-loops…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for Newark Star-Ledger (1,745) on 08 May 2008

Speed Racer is brilliantly photographed and edited. It's told in a literally visionary style, full of innovation and breathtaking risk…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for Can Magazine (288) on 08 May 2008

The fastest, most furious movie of all time…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 08 May 2008

It's all pretty dazzling. It can certainly wear you out, but take the kids anyway, they'll probably dig it…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 08 May 2008

It gave me a headache, a stomach ache and the less-defined unease that comes from witnessing a major change in the zeitgeist…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Tom Long (1,693) for Detroit News (2,682) on 08 May 2008

An eye-popping, day-glo videogame that's as emotionally empty as it is visually exhilarating, Speed Racer is style, style, style without substance,…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By John Wirt (638) for Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) (638) on 08 May 2008

Speed Racer is more Toy Story than Days of Thunder. That could be a good thing, but, in this case, it isn't…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Lisa Kennedy (833) for Denver Post (1,096) on 08 May 2008

Sugar, not petrol, is the fuel that comes to mind watching candy-hued, visually hyperactive, narratively sputtering Speed Racer…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Greg Maki (546) for Star-Democrat (Easton, MD) (546) on 08 May 2008

Speed Racer is the Wachowskis on overdrive and the result is a garish nightmare that looks like Andy and Larry ate a kaleidoscope, then vomited…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Cynthia Fuchs (1,328) for PopMatters (2,617) on 08 May 2008

Speed is a driver but he's so much more, embodying the opposite of the film's anti-corporate argument. He's the Matrix victorious…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Kurt Loder (858) for MTV (492) on 08 May 2008

The picture looks great. In fact, it looks astonishing. But non-stop astonishment is exhausting --- sometimes you want it to stop…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for Beliefnet (937) on 08 May 2008

The Wachowskis have taken the iconic but decidedly low-tech 1960's Japanese cartoon character and put the pedal to the metal with dazzling…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Larry Ratliff (323) for San Antonio Express-News (323) on 08 May 2008

If the Wachowski brothers still have one creative foot in their old, 'perfect' manufactured reality, it's a mom and pop matrix…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for The Deadbolt (73) on 08 May 2008

Unless you have an incredibly low threshold for kid/chimp comedy, a sense of fun is what's missing in Speed Racer and that should have been…

Review of Speed Racer (2008)

By Russ Breimeier (80) for Christianity Today (953) on 08 May 2008
