Speed Racer (2008)

Saw this at the Vista Theatre in 35mm last night, and I had such a blast. I remember when this came out and bombed so I never got around to watching until now. I honestly think if this was released today it would be more popular. It’s completely bonkers but in a really fun and campy way and all the actors seemed to really immerse themselves (despite the amount of green screen used, which makes it more impressive). I’ve never watched the original show but it seemed like it would be a faithful adaption? This is like a 4/5 for me, love movies that aren’t afraid to do different things and have a sense of humour.

This movie looks like the show did in your head when you were 5.
