Speed Racer a lot of fun
The reviews have been terrible, but I thoroughly enjoyed Speed Racer. The movie is probably rated G and is great for kids. The kids in our theatre were howling everytime something funny happened which was alot of the movie.
They did a great job translating the cartoon into a live action movie. Its done in a very colorful cartoonish digital matrix kind of look that is very cool. Once you accept that racecars can do all the things you see on the screen you can just sit back and enjoy it.
Just like the cartoon, the monkey and the little brother get all the laughs. Everyone is perfect for their roles. I really can not imagine a better movie being made out of the cartoon, as it really captures the feeling of the orginal while updating it and making it alot of fun for today's time. I'll give it an A- and thats pretty good for a movie that you can take a six year old to.
