Review of Speed Racer

Speed Racer (2008)
4/10
Great special effects! Bad movie :(
13 May 2008
Well the creators of the matrix have tried their hand at directing something new. However I'm sad to say its not very good. The movies biggest problem is its script, its about as good as a Saturday morning YU-GI-OH! cartoon. And hey i know this film is supposed to be campy but come on. The second problem, this movie is wayyyyy to long for a kids movie, I'm sure kids will start to figit once the movie trys to be smart by bringing up issues of the racing biz and thanks to the awful script it falls flat on its face. I could go on about the movies other problems such as Speed's annoying little bro and his chimp and the bland characters, but this film does have one redeeming quality,the special effects. The movie looks great from the racing scenes to the color palate, the Wachowski's know their special effects. i recommend u wait for the film to come out on DVD and rent it, so u can fast forward through the crappy dialog and watch the races.
