Well since I can't write a proper review of this movie in 750 characters here goes: With trepidation I was quite surprised at the movie. giving it 4.5-5 stars. worth every penny I spent for it. Casting: well done! Eccleston perfect for destro and marlon wayan great job. snake eyes: face mask not the best but otherwise he kicked butt! I will return!
It started of very fast, and kept things moving well. A very well updated movie from the Black and White Era of movies. They did well to show the failures of some people to accept people from outside of their own race can cause fighting and wars to break out. Now with that said, I will say that the movie had me till the end when it just pewtered out and left me disapointed that a movie like this left too much unanswered, even if it was done to leave room for a sequel it just seemed to QUIT at the very end.
This movie was a good re-make of the original Death Race 2000 movie. Makes it seem like a natural scenario, much more so than the original. The action and special effects carry the movie throughout, the acting is not the best but this could be due to the script writing as well. It felt like you could see what was going to happen ahead of time, with the exception of a couple spots. Over all a great action movie worth seeing on the big screen.
This movie takes many Martial Arts themes and melds it into one. Put in an out of shape panda and a small master determined to show his old master that the choice the old one made was wrong! Now top that with great voices, a well written script reminiscent of old dubbed martial arts movies and very good animations you have an over all GREAT movie!
