What too many critics and theatre lovers often seem to forget is why we go to the movies in the first place. We go to the movies to be entertained - especially in the summer. This is not to say that there is not room for hight culture arts films or thought provoking dramas, as much as it is to say that there is also room for fun action fare and comedy as well. In other words, room for popcorm movies.
Speed Racer is the quinessential popcorn movie - fun from beginning to end. Go in, sit down, and pardon the pun, buckle up and enjoy the ride. It was not supposed to be Voltaire, it was based on a cartoon. It was supposed to be fun and entertaining. Both my fiance and I really enjoyed the film - so much so that she looked at me and said we will need to get this one on DVD.
Yes in places the movie was predictable but most folks could see that coming - but still the movie was exciting and did keep you on the edge of your seat and I was not disappointed when I walked out of the theater. And that is all one can really ask for - was the movie worth my $8.50 and my time - and in the case of Speed Racer - the answer was a resounding yes.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
