stylish, colorful, but forget that, is always the car.

Base on the first anime series that made it to our tv in the late 60's. Follow now the trend of cartoon to movie. Always the story was in speed, and only that , but with adventure, intrigue, action crushes harder than taken a drink with Lisa lohan . To this film got the acceleration needed to make it a great or family film? turn the light, smoke the engine, and drive on my review:

Speed racer(Emily Hirsh) is a young race driver, coming from a family with history on cars, from Pop(John Goodman), Mom(Susan Saradon), Spritle(Paulie Litt) and their pet ape Chim chim, with their mechanic Spark(Nick Gurry). He follow in his bigger brother Rex, he try to be thebest on what he love most. But when he reject a multi billion corporation by the name of Royalton(Roger Allan). Threatening him and he's family, by losing every race he's in. But find help by the mysterious mask man racer x(Matthew Fox) and inspector Detector( Benno Fürmann) that work for the C.I.B. To bring justice and prove that royalton involment have been fixing every race. For a miserable profit on their action. With the family and trixie(Christina Ricci) behind him. Speed discover the true meaning of what it is to drive. Welcome to the world of stunt racing. And a story of a racer that change that.

Ok some of the acting so much of the badguys is second rated. I mean this is a film that should have gone to DVD. but i got say is not all bad, cause of the cartoonish they really give some fun tothe film. The best go to Paulie Litt and his chimp, that take most of the movie, from their love of candy, to their hi jink when it come hiding in the drunk of the Mach 5. Especially the the dragon ball scene. Great work, Christina was sweet and very observing when it come using the helicopter, but far goes to the comedy expression and mean looks of John Goodman, and the confidense of Susan Sarandon make the movie more enjoyable, Emily Hirch was good for main protagonist, that already he have done on other films. But lets get serious Matthew fox fell like the terminator for this, i mean sure some smile, and drama there, but didn't feel right.

Now the downside of this film was on the dialog that seem so long that remind me of the same when i went to see the Star Wars : Attack of the Clones. with more talking n less action. They should have a least have cut ten some scene, cause really that's why soap opera exist, to exhaust us of boredom.

Bu t lets get to scream of the movie the visual, their no denial the hit it good, under the supervision of Oscar winner John Gaeta, the film change a new style of racing, with the turning of the drift driven, to tracks that look like skate ramps, to some 360's too. By far this is carskating, with so much psichodelic from part of the color n lights, some wonder this is racing or another Britney night out clubs. Their some confusing when it come to the crushing cause you don't no if is mountain on fire or is just a car. And the demolition man foaming safety belts are new touch.

The environment is not all cg, when it come to the interior of the houses n hotels, but fell right for base on a cartoon movie. But there one scene that make ya wonder if ya seen the 2001 space odyssey.

So the movie is gonna bump iron man for the weekend, take no. but hey i could be wrong. The movie is a visual delight, with so much effect that you don't know if ye have a game controller in your hand, but they really have tone down on the dramatic part. and hey the brotyers already gave us a peek to their next project that i heard is gonna have ninja.

Next stop prince caspian.
