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.

every 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
brianJun 10, 2024monkey mondays #23 pretty sure nothing will ever look like this again. i wonder what nobuhiko obayashi thought of this. top tier chimp performance
KarstenFeb 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

This is Top Gun for gay people

ConnorEatsPantsMay 13, 2017100 Ate Twizzlers and Air Head Xtremes Bites while watching. Saw a lot of indistinct shapes and sounds clustered around the vibrant colorscape of a cameraless paint-bucket bedazzlement. I think John Goodman called a Ninja a 'nonja' but I'm not sure. Truly an achievement…

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.
An absolute favorite! The comedy, the drama, and the aesthetics are fantastic.

Throughout 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.…
This is a visual masterpiece that only gets better with each watch. The level of detailed storytelling here is beyond insanity, everything from the coloring to the editing is part of that narrative, benefitting each character, every theme, every piece of score, all down to simple atmosphere,…

9.25/10. 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
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…
9.5/10 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

Metacritic
This is not a film occurring in an alternate or imaginary reality; rather, it is a film of NO reality, that is, a picture that changes the rules of its universe strictly according to its creators' whims.
Unlike a Pixar cartoon that embraces as wide an audience as possible, Speed Racer proudly denies entry into its ultra-bright world to all but gamers, fanboys and anime enthusiasts. Story and character are tossed aside to focus obsessively on PG-rated action and milk-guzzling heroes.
Aimed squarely at family audiences, the Wachowski Brothers' return behind the camera for the first time since the Matrix trilogy is a blur of video action painting and very loud sounds notable solely for its technical wizardry. In every other respect, it's pure cotton candy -- entirely non-nutritious but too sweet and pretty for young people to resist.
