Not the Original, but at least it's the Mach 5.
Added 10/25/2009
When I first saw the preview for this movie I was enraged at what they had done to my childhood favorite. All my life I had wanted to se SR come to the big screen and it finally gets there and they do this to it. Now having said that, being a real SR fan and as long as the car looked mostly accurate, I gave it a chance and went to see it in the theater. Long story short, I think I stopped at 8 times. I took everyone that would go with me, to see it. The Mach 5 is really what the show was all about, nothing else matters. And as long as they created a version of the car that was at least a respectable effort, that was all I cared about. I am not a film critic. All I know is that the film moved me emotionally. But that was mainly because the characters were so dear to me. And of course, the coolest car ever created, real or otherwise. I really just got a huge kick out of seeing a real life depiction of the Mach 5, and they did alot better version that that one guy did who custom-made a couple to auction them off. I still would love to see a more accurate version of the car, I mean exactly like the original series. Critically speaking, this movie did not get a fair shake. I saw soooo many reviews for this movie from people who never actually saw it! who reviews a movie they haven't watched!!! Yes this movie is a little acid-trippish. Yes it is long. Yes it is not exactly as the original. But it's SPEED frickin' RACER, and it's on the big screen, and the car looks totally awesome! 5 STARS.

fun little movie
Added 9/14/2009
This was a fun little movie. We saw it at the theater and ended up buying it because it's a great whenever flick with enough sillyness for little kids and enough graphic for bigger kids. The plot is not so much, but it's entertaining just the same.

Blu-ray @ its BEST!
Added 8/30/2009
This is one of the all time best visual Blu-Rays feature films, except for Planet Earth but that's a documentary series, Any-who. All I can say about Speed Racer is " It's not what you would expect" Back in the day speed racer was a Hooke kookie anime with a 50/50 vision. This move really puts the vision of Speed Racer into a new light. A wonderful family movie that really captures the imagination of any age group. The movie is stunning to say the least with a good enuf plot and great classic caricatures. 5 out of 5 for me, Hope you are as impressed as I was. Enjoy the feature, be good to your self's and each other.
