I am very surpirsed at the 2 star rating this film has as I found it quite good!
The film is a PG and so aimed at kids really, but I love Kids films and I love cars...so meh I thought I'd give it a go!
The film is taken from the comic series Speed Racer, and so is in the form of goodies vs baddies, with the villains taking form in the Royalson company.
The goodies in the form of the Racer family. The film starts with Rex racer, a racing driver, and his young brother Speed, Speed is obsessed with racing and follows his brother religiously, not caring about his school work and only bothering about racing!
When Rex is killed in a race, it tears the Racer family apart. But 8 years on, Speed is the one in the driving seat. As he is up and coming, he is constantly hassled by big corporate companies wanting to be in charge of Speed, but he wants to stick with Racer, the family company!
But things aren't going to go to plan when the Royalson company try to scupper Speeds chances in the Grand Prix race!
The racing part of the film is in CGI, in a cartoony kind of way, whilst the rest of the film is normal. It has a Lazy Town kind of feel to it in a way, with the outfits of the characters and the roundness of things!
I quite liked the film, even though it is really a kids film, and I think much more appreciated by children!!! You'll like this if you like Disney Animation films I think...although made by WB, it has that Disney feel to it, although it would probably be better by Disney...!!!!! (and there'd probably be a great ride at Disneyland made about it!!!!!!)
I say give this film a go, it is a good watch!! And you can't make up your own mind about a film until you have watched it...I wouldn't have watched this film if I'd read some of the reviews on here first but after watching it, I enjoyed it! :)
