So what's wrong with this movie? Everything. It's as bad as the two horrible sequels to the Matrix movies. Bad acting. Bad casting. Bad story (no story really). Just a horrible waste of money and time.

I watch the re-run cartoons some times when i was a kid, so you would say i grew seeing this. And i say is a masterpiece. Is funny, is intriguing, got action, got drama and the effects and the colors just make it awsome and different, so you can see it like a piece of art!!. I don't know where the hate come from. And maybe im not a famous critic, but I definitely give nice reviews on good movies and this is one!!! Is just maybe not to all kind of audience but still is awsome.

Speed racer I'm not sure why people hate this movie so much and I'm not going to waste my time reading their reviews to find out why. If I had to guess, I would say the hate stems from people going into this movie expecting to watch a Matrix like movie because this was the first film the directors filmed after. Whatever, it is campy but also serious at other times. The acting is okay but the action is amazing. It is cool neo-retro racer action. Only if they waited 5 to 10 years for the special effects to totally catch up with what they where trying to do. Regardless, this film is entertaining and that is all that matters.

Dear Lord, what happened to these guys? From creating a flick that had changed cinema forever to the most nauseating roller coaster ride I've ever been in. If anyone of you are looking forward to see a good (passable) anime adaption, go and pop in Death Note, Oldboy or even Initial D. And I'll tell you why you should be avoiding this garbage.Have I previously mentioned the word "nauseating"? Yea, maybe I'll enjoy this movie more if I had some aspirin on hand. Yes, utilizing a neon color palette sure is a challenge and pretty original in my book. But if two of Nicolas Winning Refyn movies, Only God Forgives & The Neon Demon, can be the polar opposite, why can't you do something similar considering you had 3 TIMES his budget?With all that aside, there are, thankfully, a few "watchable" moments in this entire 2 hour disaster. Speaking of run-time, it wouldn't be that long and presumably entertaining if they just completely erase the two little "animals" (the monkey and that kid I wanted to decapitate). Why would you cut back to these 2 when we're in a middle of a pretty intense conversation? What grotesque species are you.Guess who they can afford with all that truck-sized money. Emile Hirsch. Wow!!! You can get John Goodman, Rain ( a popular Korean star) but picked out an unknown as your main character? But the real reason I was disappointed was the fact his acting chops are as good as a 2 am infomercial host. Trust me, it's that terrible.Sorry, I don't usually express my personal hatred towards films in my reviews. But because I legitimately liked some parts from this movie such as Sir Goodman and Sir Allam's captivating performances. As well as to one of the most heart pounding climax I've seen in a damn long time. I really wished they could've just focus on how can we make a damn good family flick because I loved Disney's Cars. And just in case you are a parent reading this, buy a Blu-Ray copy of Cars rather than feeding your kid this monstrosity.
