Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized-the legendary Rex Racer - whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer, the designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company's maniacal owner but uncovers a terrible secret-some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If Speed won't drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie, Speed teams with his one-time rival-the mysterious Racer X - to win the race that had taken his brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.
The story begins with Speed Racer who is a young man with natural racing instincts whose goal is to win The Crucible, a cross-country car racing rally that took the life of his older brother, Rex Racer. Speed is loyal to the family business, run by his parents Pops and Mom. Pops designed Speed's car, the Mach 5. The owner of Royalton Industries makes Speed a lucrative offer, Speed rejects the offer, angering the owner. Speed also uncovers a secret that top corporate interests, including Royalton, are fixing races and cheating to gain profit. With the offer to Speed denied, Royalton wants to ensure that Speed will not win races. Speed finds support from his parents and his girlfriend Trixie and enters The Crucible in a partnership with his one-time rival, Racer X, seeking to rescue his family's business and the racing sport itself.
For those not familiar with the story, Speed Racer is not what this film is about, but who it is about. Yes, Speed Racer is the main characters name and that is exactly what he does. After the death of his brother, Speed follows in his footsteps to become the worlds fastest racer. His speed and talent catches the eye of a big rich racing company who offers Speed more wins and more money. When Speed declines, he learns the truth that the grand prix is fixed and they knew the winner of each race all along. Now it&#39;s up to Speed to win the big race and show the corrupt business side of everything.<br/><br/>Whether or not this makes sense is of no importance. I don&#39;t really think people are going to see this movie for it&#39;s deep plot, character development or even creative twists in the storyline. Instead Speed Racer expects to see it&#39;s audience that want to be gasping at the insane races, vivid colours and tongue in cheek comedy. Speed Racer has all this, maybe a bit too much, and none of the former. I&#39;ve never seen a single episode of the cartoon, but in the style the bros have presented this film you can tell immediately that they stuck pretty close to the source material. Knowing the Japanese animation style, Speed Racer has captured it pretty accurately. My only concern is, was a story like this meant to be made into a live action film? I can appreciate the film for what is tries to achieve and respect it for that. The racing scenes are indeed spectacular, but the is what is expected. We all knew that the film would have crazy racing scenes that bend the norm of our world and it did just that. The race scenes make the viewer more interested in wanting to play them in a video game. They make the viewer want to be involved, instead we have to sit there and watch other people on the screen have all the fun and excitement. It kind of gets a little bit upsetting.<br/><br/>There are vibrant colours all throughout the film, like a lucid dream. Most likely exactly what the filmmakers wanted, it plays out like a dream from Hunter S. Thompson. It is exciting for kids, headache for adults. The use of colour and the detailed eye to the surroundings make the film seem more like an experiment in the digital era, rather then an attempt to make an actual film. The one thing that kept going through my mind was how this film would look on Blue-Ray, not what was actually happening on the screen.<br/><br/>The film has many missteps, the main one would be the editing. The entire opening sequence the details the reason for Speed&#39;s reason for driving is horribly done. It plays out exactly like a racing video game and jumps back and forth between time lines. Let me explain. Rex, Speed&#39;s older brother, who holds racing records all over the world leaves the house to race in a dangerous tournament, this is inter cut with Speed racing trying to break his brother&#39;s current record, his brother is also racing the same track, but it is Speed&#39;s memory of it. If you&#39;ve ever played a racing game, it&#39;s exactly like you trying to beat the your previous time on the track and you are racing you&#39;re ghost car from before. All of this is confusing at first, and once you get a grasp of what is going on, the horrible pacing settles in. They use a lot of super imposed images of people crossing the screen to move to the next scene. It&#39;s when the camera paces across a character&#39;s face and an entire different scene is behind them. They over use so much that in one particular scene there are more then a dozen characters on the screen all inter cutting each other.<br/><br/>Yes the entire film is based on a cartoon and that is exactly the way it plays out. Everything is over the top and corny. A little too much if you ask me. The violence isn&#39;t harsh, people blow up in their cars, but it won&#39;t scare kids. Although, the random appearance of ninjas might. Yes, John Goodman fights a ninja in this movie….then says this exact line. &quot;Ninja? Ha, more like a Nonja&quot;. That is the kind of dialogue this film has and it hurts to listen to it.<br/><br/>The actors aren&#39;t really given anything to do. Goodman and Hirsh are the highlights as expected. I wanted to like Fox and Racer X, but his monotone delivery and the story behind his character is just too bland. The conclusion at the end of the film with Racer X seemed tacked on and out of left field. As if they needed to beat us over the head with answers that they audience already knew, even though they were told something else. Christine Ricci and Susan Surandon are given absolutely nothing to do in this film. They are filler, eye candy at most. The young brother and his ape sidekick are there for comic relief, but it tends to be the same joke over and over again with them. It gets tiresome very fast.<br/><br/>In the end, the film is more for pleasing the eye. The poor editing and over the top cartoon style is just too much of a distraction. The story itself isn&#39;t very engaging and the people involved don&#39;t even seem to know what&#39;s going on either. The film has many problems and too few entertaining points. If a racing scene couldn&#39;t save The Pantom Menace, it can&#39;t save Speed Racer.
We just saw the movie today and … WOW! They did a fantastic job translating the original to a live action movie. The attention to detail may be lost on those not intimately familiar with the original series. It might be worthwhile to re-watch the original cartoon to fully appreciate what they achieved with this movie. <br/><br/>Was it really 2 hours 15 minutes? It certainly didn&#39;t feel like a long movie, a good sign to be sure. It&#39;s worth every frame. <br/><br/>From the starting line to the checkered flag, Speed Racer is action packed, funny, entertaining and a real treat for fans of the original. Two big grease covered thumbs up! Go Speed Racer Go!
Though the film is not as criminally poor as "V for Vendetta," which the Wachowskis wrote in 2005, it struck me as more insidious.
