I saw Speed Racer on opening night. I have never seen the cartoon and to be honest only the original Matrix film was worth while.
I actually slept through the first 30 or so minutes of the film. It's all back story, an overload of back story to be honest and it drags the beginning on forever. Past that the film picks up with some corny goodness, monkeys, awesome races and ninjas.
Did I mention this film has monkeys and ninjas? You require nothing else in a film. The races really make the film fun with their animated look and feel and the energy in them is great.
It's like a live action cartoon almost and it's entertaining. it might be a little long for most kids but this might be worth seeing in the theater for the people who grew up with the cartoon or love these type of films. Otherwise I say wait for a rental.
Entertainment Value - 3.5 /5
Movie - 3/5
