    The 41% weren't meant as a rating but a little nod to the Wachowskis.

    >literally the only two in the entire theater
    >proceed to take rip after rip the entire film
    >we both thoroughly enjoyed it despite the film being moronic
    I only saw it that one time though and refuse to watch it again because I remembered liking it, but probably because I was blitz off my gourd.

        Indeed. I also got drunk and saw Jurassic World with my brother and we loved it. Brought our dad the next weekend completely sober and realized it was complete shit. I have a feeling I'd feel the same about speed racer if I watched it sober.

    I agree with you, OP. The plot was fine. The acting was competent. The graphics were awesome, especially the gorgeous racetrack design and car physics. The faithfulness to the source material was perfect. The emotional points were hit. I rate it a 100% - it succeeds as a movie about Speed Racer. I would entertain a rating as low as 70% and hear the reasoning. Anything below that is film snobbery.

    Avatar 2 was a 40-50%. Every aspect of it was predictable and not magical at all and I didn't care what happened.

      You only hated Avatar because you are a childless troon.

    The intended non realistic CGI was badly received back then because people wanted the most realistic stuff you could get.
    The "realistic" stuff aged badly as hell while this still looks good

    It's a masterpiece compared to the next two american films based on japanese media, both released the following year.

      I think it's funny how much Dragon Ball fans hate a small-budget movie that nobody watched.

      Fun fact : the screenplay of that Astro Boy film was written by the boomer who, in a previous life, pitched/wrote the 1983 comedy Trading Places.

    I rewatch this movie a couple times a year, it’s honestly amazing. The plot revolving around simple family values vs corporate greed and mammonism really strikes home. By far the most impactful scene is when Taejo’s sister brings the Grand Prix invite to Speed and says “I’d wish you luck, but I can see that you don’t need it. You’re already lucky to have such a family.” Honestly great.

    Also the stylistic choices make realistgays seethe uncontrollably, as do the scenes meant for kids because, oh yea, it’s a family movie.

    Emile Hirsch will always be Speed Racer to me and never anyone else.
    So it was weird seeing Speed Racer in a Tarantino movie for me.
