Speed Racer (2008)
5/10
Visually Great but a little confusing
18 May 2008
Ever since i saw the first trailer for speed racer i wasn't sure if i wanted to see it or hide from it i really couldn't make my mind up.

after sitting down and watching I'm glad i did it is really enjoyable and the style of it is visually pleasing the wachowski's definitely scored again with an effects movie.

The bad points to it was keeping the cartoon feel mixed with the live action it moved to fast and at some points you could easily loose track of what was essentially a pretty simple plot.

Also the races again they moved so fast now i know thats the point of the movie but a lot of the intensity of some of the race scenes was hard to capture.

It isn't a masterpiece but it is a lot of fun and it's well divided between lovers and haters but its worth checking out.
