Go Speed Racer Go!
The other day, I saw Speed Racer at the local AMC. Let me tell you, it was amazing. The visuals were so colorful, bright and trippy! What makes it even better was that I was pretty baked during the movie.
Even though I missed like, the first 20-50 minutes of the movie, I managed to at least understand the plot. Apparently, Speed wants to destroy this unfair, “fixed” racing that’s going on. Along with him on this little mission were Racer-X and a few others.
Like in the original, Racer-X is, of course, Speed’s brother. A minor adjustment was that his suit didn’t resemble the Mach 5, which, in my opinion, was for the better.
Overall, the movie was good, especially when baked. I just sat there, staring at the race scenes, which were a mix between reality and Anime. That made me trip my balls of, of course.
Well, I hope you guys have as much fun watching as I did. ;b

I saw it for the second time, yesterday. At the moment, it’s my favorite summer movie.
I’ve heard some comments about the plot being weak or not very substantial. If anything, I believe that SPEED RACER’s plot was very strong, considering the cartoon-style visuals. Perhaps too many people were busy paying more attention to the visuals and less on the plot.
Even my dad – who didn’t want to see it for the second time – admitted that the movie had a strong emotional resonance in compare to the other major summer movies released so far.
