A Wild Ride Of Colors & FX
If you’re into color, this film is for you. It’s hard to imagine a movie with more and bolder colors and wild action that is presented here.

The story is predictable and a bit juvenile but I’m an older guy. For kids and most of the family, this should be very enjoyable. For those, like me, who like special-effects and stylish visuals, it was definitely worth a look, particularly on a Blu-Ray hi-definition disc.

Many of the characters were over-the-top, especially the villains, naturally, led by Roger Allam as “Arnold Royalton.” The good guys – meaning “Speed Racer” and his family, were okay. It was odd seeing Susan Sarandon and John Goodman playing the parents, but, that’s Hollywood. The younger brother “Sprittle” (Paulie Litt) and the chimp, I’m sure, drew most of the laughs from most audiences.

This film, however, is not really about the story or, more specifically, about futuristic auto racing, although if you love auto racing you should like this – it’s about the incredible colors and special-effects extravaganza. Hey, the guys who made this movie made the three “Matrix” films, so that should tell you something.Read More
