Review of Speed Racer

Speed Racer (2008)
8/10
better than I expected
18 May 2008
I took my son to see this on Saturday. When I saw the running time I was filled with dread and I brought the Ipod in case of boredom. Well, I'm happy to report that the Ipod stayed off for the entire film.

Considering the source - a cheaply made cartoon from the 60's that was intended for 8 year old boys - this was an entertaining movie with a very cool "look". The acting was reasonably good and Christina Ricci was a beautiful mix of innocent/sexy!

BTW, I'm not really a fan of the Wachowski brothers - I liked the original Matrix, but thought the sequels stunk. Have not seen V yet - guess I need to get out more!
