And you know what, I totally wouldn't be offended if they changed the lyrics to the theme song from "Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer" to "Here he sucks, he sucks Speed Racer."
That is two hours and four minutes of my life I would like refunded to me. The movie turned out to be what I feared when the Wachowski brothers were set to direct. A whole lot of greenscreen flash and little story.
After rejecting the offer of a huge corporate racing owner and finding out that the beloved Grand Prix racing series is fixed, Speed Racer, (Emile Hirsch), must do what he does best, race, to right the wrongs and save the reputation of the Racer family.
Here's what I did like:
The message of the importance of family.
Here's what I didn't like:
I expected it to be a little cartoony and campy, but the amount in the movie was ridiculous.
It was too long.
The racing scenes were exciting for a few minutes, but the long cross country rally race got old pretty quick....
