Remember the cartoon series where a teenager races around wildly through twists and turns and wins your heart and eventually, the race? Sounds familiar? Speed Racer is back now, on the big screen, with some high octane stuff. Speed Racer starring Emile Hirsch, is a movie for the young and for those who love fast paced action and less logic.
Speed Racer is a teenager who lives and breathes racing. He is quite at home with race cars and drives the Mach 5 which was designed by pops himself. His ambition is to win the Crucible which is a cross country marathon race, which consumed his brother Rex’s life, who was a top notch racer himself. Speed’s fearlessness and instincts soon become the talking point of the circuits and Royalton industries provide a lucrative offer which he refuses. He also unveils that races are being fixed, and Royalton is also involved in such stuff. Now Royalton Industries is gunning for him and wants to ensure that he loses.
‘Speed Racer’ has the perfect ingredients for a pacy treat. With a cool car and twisted and weird circuits, the movie must have kept you at the edge of the seat for most parts of the race. But the amount of flashy colors used make you want the ride to stop before time out. Too much eye candy stuff sometimes forces the actors to get lost in the splash of colors. The movie would be enjoyed better by the fans of the original cartoon series. Nevertheless it is a colorful ride and is worth watching.
