Another Movie: Speed Racer

2.9 out of 5 for me.

Now, let me tell you what happened the first time I watched the movie. At the last race in the movie, as everything was winding down and Speed Racer was nearing the finish line, I slowly stood from my seat. The computer generated tumbling of futuristic vehicles traveling 500 mi per hour on elliptical race tracks were enhanced the surround sound and a giant screen in front of me. I stood in anticipation, focusing more on the screen, trying to make out the images, watching every detail.

I'm into cars. I'm into racing. I've had speeding tickets before. I raced on the freeway more than once - so I know the feeling. I watched Speed Racer when I was a kid. I used to be a better skilled driver... so I enjoyed the movie. On the small screen doesn't do the movie justice though. Cartoons, cars, crazy driving...
