Who cares about seeing race scenes? The focus should have been on the actors. If this film fails, it's the poor advertising. It was all digital animation and looked about as boring as watching NASCAR.Īt fault here are the people who made the trailer. But then I saw the trailer and my heart sank. So when I heard a film was coming out and starring one of my favorite actresses, Christina Ricci, as Trixie, I was intrigued. I have a Speed Racer shirt that I love wearing. I grew up watching reruns on late night television (it's a 1960s show, and I'm a bit younger than that). Who is Racer X? What is the story with the evil gang who tortures people with piranhas? And is it better to be independent or join up with a billion dollar corporation in order to get the best gear? I've been a fan of Speed Racer for some time.
SPEED RACER 2008 ROTTEN DRIVER
Coming of age, Speed becomes a great driver himself, possibly the best in the world. Young Speed Racer is in constant admiration of his older brother Rex Racer. Reviewed by gavin6942 6 / 10 Poor Marketing, Good Film Somehow I managed to make it to the end, but never again. Unsurprisingly the acting is terrible and the run-time is interminable, leaving me very tempted to switch this off partway through. The bad guys are completely lame and half the running time seems to be given over to some would-be comedy antics involving a fat kid and a chimpanzee. The story is some clichéd old nonsense about a guy whose older brother dies in a racing accident, so of course he himself becomes a racer.

In any case, this is one of the worst I've ever seen. The graphics are worse than in many modern computer games, and given the predominance of computer graphics throughout I'm left wondering why they just didn't make an all-out animated movie.

SPEED RACER 2008 ROTTEN MOVIE
It's so bad because it's a film made entirely via CGI and greenscreen, so that everything you see in the movie is fake, too bright, too colourful, too unrealistic. Or that there were some decent actors in support, including John Goodman and a briefly glimpsed Hiroyuki Sanada.Īnyway, SPEED RACER is pure rubbish. Or that the guys behind it were the Wachowski brothers, who of course made the fairly decent MATRIX films all those years ago.

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. With the offer to Speed denied, Royalton wants to ensure that Speed will not win races.

Speed also uncovers a secret that top corporate interests, including Royalton, are fixing races and cheating to gain profit. The owner of Royalton Industries makes Speed a lucrative offer Speed rejects it, angering the owner. Speed is loyal to the family business, run by his parents Pops and Mom. Speed Racer is a young man with natural racing instincts whose goal is to win The Crucible, a cross-country car-racing rally that claimed the life of his older brother, Rex Racer.
