SPEEDRACER

   Extreme sensationalism dominates the majority of this film.  The bright colors and quick changes create an experience of total psychedelica but unfortuantely the movie fails on several fronts.  Throughout the film but especially at the begining the constant snap changes from present to past and back again cause an irritating annoyance and confusion for the viewer.  Some aspects of the production are revolutionary for the watching experience but the over all product is very bad.  Of course the story is based on a children's cartoon but the producer seems to have lost the goal for the age group of the viewer he is producing for and even children have some sense of continuity.

 

  John Goodman has grown the largest double chin and fattest checks on the planet...he looks very bad in this film.  Normally I would run down a list of the actors of interest in the film but it just seems like a waste to me because I don't recommend paying theater ticket price to see the film.  The only person I would think would enjoy the film (and I am only guessing because I have no personal experience in this regard) would be someone tripping on LSD because they would find the bright colors captivating and since their altered perception of reality would have distorted cognitive processing they wouldn't be dissatisified from unsequencial and illogical plot line.

 

  There are moments when the film has the appearance of shear genius but those moments are miniscule and drowned in the vast ocean bad producing.  If you want to see the film or think you want to see it then you are probably better off waiting until it comes out on DVD and hoping to borrow it from someone else for free.

 

 

I will also do a write-up on any movie I see because I hate it when I go see a movie and I don't like the film when I probably wouldn't have gone if someone I could trust (not the professional movie critics because they sometimes get big bucks to write a good review of a suckie movies) would have told me why the film isn't any good.  Obviously not everyone likes the same type of films or see the same film the same way as I do (you can find several posts in this forum where I argued with other members over different films) but if I share my views with a group of viewers and they give me their feedback about films also then if they recommend a film I will have a better idea if I will like it or not.  I like when members post why they like a film or why they don't like a film instead of just saying, "Great film" or "terrible film".  I don't like wasting my money on the price of a admission to a theater for a film I didn't enjoy.

 

One thing I hate in regard to this film is that they could have made it fantastic.  It was made by the same group that made the MATRIX trilogy.  SPEED RACER has some fantastic moments but nobody wants to see 10 to 15 seconds of fantastic footage and have to suffer through another 2 hours and 14 minutes of unentertaining film.  It's just not worth seeing at the theater.

i wish this movie would have come out during my lsd tripping days. it looks like it would be a hoot. maybe I can get a flashback and i'll go see thismovie. by the way. the guys who made this movie are so fucked upit is not even funny. they are recluse transexuals and i heard they had their members operated on to become women. fucking scary shit they must be on some good drugs.
