Ugh
I think we can finally admit it now. The Wachowski Brothers are hack directors barely a notch above Eli Roth and Uwe Boll who somehow managed to hit the jackpot on a one in a million longshot with The Matrix. Matrix Reloaded took itself way too seriously. Matrix Revolutions pretty much stole everything good from Star Wars and Alien. V for Vendetta was alright but hardly anything worth writing home about. Which brings us to Speed Racer.
Speed Racer is a lot like Shrek the Third. Aimed squarely at the kiddies, it is not an offensive movie. However that doesn't make it a good movie or even a passable movie. Speaking of stealing things from movies, this time they have stolen from everything from Days of Thunder and Top Gun to Every Which Way but Loose. When your major comic relief is a chimp, you know you are in deep doo doo.
John Goodman thinks he's in a movie directed by Marty himself. I haven't seen such a desperate play to get an Oscar Nomination. Someone forgot to tell him he had no chance! Anyways this movie is about as intelligent as a kindergardner. The only thing going for it is that it's visually stunning.
