Moviegoers are saying
Speed Racer emerges as a polarizing visual masterpiece that defies conventional filmmaking - reviewers consistently praise its groundbreaking visuals (comparing it to Spider-Verse and Mad Max: Fury Road) while acknowledging its deliberately childlike sensibility. The Grand Prix finale has achieved legendary status among fans, with multiple reviewers describing transcendent, tear-inducing experiences during the climactic race sequence.

Felt like it was made by 12-year olds (non-derogatory)
James (Schaffrillas)Aug 10, 2019While maybe not as consistently engaging, this is genuinely in the same lane (haha) as Spiderverse and Fury Road in terms of visuals. If you had any doubts that this wasn’t a good movie please revisit the “Non-ja” joke.

This is Top Gun for gay people
Megan BitchellOct 7, 2015every so often I get really drunk and stay up past my bedtime and watch speed racer and cry through the grand prix to make sure I can still feel anything
brianFeb 17, 2025Forever trying and failing to find anything in any movie that gives me the same euphoric cinema high as the final lap of the grand prix in Speed Racer

KarstenApr 21, 2026Can't be totally sure but I think watching the climactic race of Speed Racer in imax made me weep tears of joy but the tears were the colors of a bag of skittles and maybe that was actually my eyes bleeding from the sensory overload but whatever it was it was beautiful…

Quite literally unwatchable. I am not joking in the slightest goddamn bit when I say this is probably the worst movie ever created on the history of this planet.

Obihulk lovedSpeed RacerThroughout my years, anime has been a pinnacle viewing experience that has held a special place in my heart. Now, to be honest, Speed Racer is a rare example of anime that, despite its extremely cheap-looking animation, was widely beloved and delightful for both children and adults during its time.…
Noah Julian lovedSpeed Racer9.25/10. Pretty cheesy but very nostalgic for me. Definitely a top movie as it just is a cult classic favorite of mine. Pretty decent acting especially given that everything was done on green screens. Really hope they make a sequel for this movie. Under a 9 but still a love for m
- Iso lovedSpeed Racer
8/10 “It doesn't matter if racing never changes. What matters is if we let racing change us.” One of the best and most inspiring racing films to date, the Wachowski sisters truly never miss. Also I hated the fact that Racer X never told him the truth about being his brother…
Tony Mantia lovedSpeed Racer9.5/10 What a fun time! Some of the best transitions I've ever seen. The aesthetic is dated by its times - Very green screen 3D - but this film worked with that. It blends the 80's show with the"futuristic" style well. Michael Giaccino blends the old theme in so well here
MakoX lovedSpeed RacerWhile the movie can be a bit too long and some CGI is dated, everything else is peak. The acting is incredible, some of the comedy made me laugh out loud, and the racing is among the most exciting I’ve seen, even today. It feels like an anime/video game in the best way.
