Speed Racer

Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer; He’s a demon on wheels….
The first thing I did after leaving the theatre was to check my surroundings. Unbelievable! I was still able to tell the colours apart!
Barring that, well, the movie was good. It had all the twists and turns (no pun intended). The movie’s a good adaptation of the cartoon series…Now you know why the name sounds familiar. The film starts off with Speed (yeah that’s the guy’s name) racing in his Mach 5 (no, it isn’t a real car), competing with the ghost of his brother (who was killed in a car accident sometime back) lap (for those of you who are wondering what I’m talking about, please don’t bother…this movie ain’t for you) which incidentally happens to be the lap record.
The baddies see a nice racer in Speed and want to rope him in as their team racing driver. But Speed’s pop, Pops (yeah that’s his name!) has other plans.
Caught amidst the confusion and chaos that ensues, Speed must make a choice between the baddies, who’re ready to offer him the price and a superb new car, and Pops who thinks its time Speed quit racing, fearing that Speed would meet the same fate as his brother.
With all the dirty driving and slick action sequences, it'll truly engage you for 2 whole hours, and trust me..you'd want to have your seat belts on!
Go Speed Racer...Go Speed Racer...Go Speed Racer...GO!!!
