"Now THIS is podracing!" Why did nobody see this movie? It's so awesome. Even the sillier parts aimed for kids work really well. Oh, and Matthew Fox dominates as Racer X.

Flash! Bang! This movie is like a HUGE acid trip... lots of vibrant colors and imagery. Speed Racer does what it does very well... the only problem is that it's still Speed Racer in the end... a movie based off of a very old animated series. Expecting it to be Gone With The Wind is asinine, so don't set your own bar too high for this one.

Extremely stylised movie, contained no real surprises whatsoever and its so bright I need a retina transplant. But damn it entertained the hell out of me. Never seen the original cartoon, but it was a hell of a two hours. Go Speed Racer, Go!

Skip this dud and save some bucks. Instead, have your kids pull out their matchbox cars and racetracks and watch them play for awhile. You'll get more enjoyment out of that than spending time watching "this thang". I grew up watching Speed Racer, and I was looking forward to seeing this flick. Unfortunately, way too much CGI make this movie extremely annoying.

Screw the people who don't like this film. Spectacular visuals combined with a heart at its center that Dick Cheney'd shoot through an orphanage for, this is fantastic stuff.

WTF is this?!? Every single idea and choice Wachowskis make here is HORRENDOUS. Are these characters? Is this an action movie? The action doesn't have to be plausible (it ain't!) if it was at least interesting (sorry), or not BORING (you still here?)! I see lots of shiny colors and..? Expensive CGI used to make things look extra... fake? Why? The fastest thing in the movie was the villain explaining his motivation & plan. I couldn't follow it but I don't think the Bros. wanted me to! WHY?

I can't objectively call it a great film, because the plot, characters, and humor are all migrated from Saturday morning cartoon land; wafer-thin and silly. But damn if it wasn't novel to be attacked with the most seizure-inducing, insane visuals in years. It's like eating a bag of Starburst through your eyeballs. Inane yet grin-inducing action scenes, Christina Ricci looking delicious, and a monkey round things out, leaving only one conclusion: This movie is Crank for 8 year olds.

Colorful and manic and indecipherable. The Wachowskis spend tanker-truckloads of money and emerge with something not far removed from what a meth-addled toddler would produce with a big sheet of butcher paper and two fistfuls of Crayolas. Watching this is is like drowning in Skittles. There's zero human element to the film, save the occasional hopeless cliche. This version of Speed Racer gives cartoons a bad name.

This movie is not to be viewed by people suffering from epilepsy or people on drugs. The colors (which exceed the known light spectrum) are enough to kill bigger animals and small children. Do not view while using your brain or it may explode causing an untimely death. It is still better than Twilight in all aspects.

much fun this one. visuals-wise this film is the bomb. plot and characters are very cliché, but if your up for that, it's not really bothersome. great family entertainment. :) don't really know why I disliked Hirsch's performance in the first place.

Forget the (awful) cartoon it's based on, this triumph of editing and effects pays tribute to the medium of film itself. Truly deserves being seen on a big screen. Sadly weighed down by lack of substance (although the struggle between art and business isn't a bad foundation) and too much comic relief.

Definitely not perfect, but holy Hell, what a visual spectacle. Every effects-filled, hyper-saturated shot demands your attention for better or worse...and for me, such a unique, all-encompassing flair for style was definitely for the better.

Is beautiful and creative, but relies too much on special effects and CGI. The acting, script and character development is terrible. Still enjoyable for fans of the cartoon ( Which I'm a fan of! ).

Opening was a little sloppy, with exposition that even leaves insiders' heads spinning. But once everything was clumsily set up, they knocked 'em down. Excellent casting and I found the kid/monkey less annoying than the TV series; dare I say I enjoyed their antics?

The color palette really is overwhelming, and the action and editing are so relentless that it took no time at all before I found myself longing for anything that was comparatively sedate and sensible--like, say, the end of Mission Impossible II. I actually felt nauseous for a while. Once I got over that I was impressed by Mom and Pops, and the way the film actually got me to root for the main character, even though I found him bland and unlikeable in the preview.

Flashy, colorful, and with a decent twist or two in the plot, it's still a very straightforward race-to-win against corporate bad guys... and that's just been done to death. I also didn't really watch Speed Racer growing up so I had little nostalgic appreciation. Would've been okay not seeing it. There are worse films out there, however.

Speed Racer could never be accused of stasis. A visually audacious and ethereally eye-popping cinematic experience far outranking the soulless razzle dazzle of Michael Bay's abhorrent Transformers, the Wachowski Brothers' adaptation of the '60s anime series utilizes the oft-overlooked Emile Hirsch, here playing the titular driver, as a guide through a rapturous storytelling smorgasbord.
