Review of Speed Racer (2008) by Kenneth D — 17 Nov 2011

Grade:C.

Speed racer was one of the best anime series on tv in the late 60's and early 70's and sooner or later hollywood would make a blockbuster out of it. Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is the kind of driver that every wheelman wishes he could be: a born winner whose unbeatable combination of aggression, instinct, and fearlessness always finds him crossing the checkered flag with a comfortable lead. speed racer's look was fantasic with the setting and was unbelieveable but it cant cover how bad the movie is. the story was good and was the classic speed racer but character and writing was bad with its childish and immature jokes.
