Speed Racer is such a rad movie. Definitely suffered from the tendency I noticed in the past of hyper-stylized/”weird" movies getting trashed by critics just for aesthetics. That does seem to be lessening quite a bit, given the reception to movies like you mentioned. Here's hoping it keeps going!

It's terrible until you realise they did it like that on purpose.

Best live-action anime adaptation of all time.

Thank you, I was searching for this so I didn't have to post the same thing. It is such amazing world building creating an absurd colorful world of anime come to life that you never question it. John Goodman beats up a ninja and makes a tacky joke without it feeling dumb because it fits the world. The final race goes full expressionism and it's beautiful.

Hell it deserves praise as it's one of the few movies with a kid and animal sidekick where I don't hate either because they just make sense in the madness.

It's amazing how faithful to the original it was and still was brought into the modern era. Most remakes never do that.

Bro just watch it while listening to eurobeat/DEJAVU

You gonna love it

Visuals came like an acid trip. Banging EDM. Christina Ricci as Trixie!?! What's not to like about this movie? Love popping it on every so often.
