Review of Speed Racer (2008) by Theron S — 12 Aug 2013
I hope one day people will revisit this and not be burdened by media hype when forming their opinion about this film. I have not seen a remake stay closer to the source material than this film did. Everything was the original cartoon from the sound effects of the Mach 5's jacks being deployed to the way the racers talk, gasp and react to danger.
I left the theater with the same elated feeling as I did when I left Star Wars. This film was a joy to share with my son who reignited my love for Speed Racer.
