  1. Quality
  2. Summary
    Great 4.0

    Loved it. As others have said, this movie gets as close as possible to the cartoon as possible while still using real characters — and if you actually watched those old cartoons like I did when you were a kid, you’ll soon be flashing back. I was pleasantly surprised just how true to the theme of the cartoon this movie was.

  4. Acting
    Good 3.0

    Emile Hirsch did a decent job, and the chices of Goodman as Pops, Sarandon as mom, Scott Porter as Rex, and Christina Ricci as Tracie were very well placed – but perhaps not made enough use of. The additional cast representing Spritle, Sparky, and Chim-Chim was a nice (and necessary) touch.

  5. Male Stars Good 3.0
  6. Female Stars Good 3.0
  7. Female Costars Good 3.0
  8. Male Costars Good 3.0
  10. Film
    Great 4.0

    This movie made me forget I wasn’t watching the cartoon.

Regarding Wick’s Review
Man, I’m surprised how many people enjoyed Speed Racer. For a while, I thought I was the only one. I enjoyed because it reminded me not only of the classic anime it was based on, but because it was sorta like Robert Rodriguez’s Spy Kids movies, which I would watch all the time.

I thought movie was not of the quality that all the hype and advertising it got . expected more and got less. the visual effects is all that it had going for it. Its a very good thing that I didnt have to pay to see this one . would have wanted my money back. Even the acting was of low quality. my thoughts; poor excuse for a movie
