Speed Racer Ratings & Reviews
- Ty Leet24 februari 2026A truly underrated racing classic - so much fun.
- TheMailman077 juni 2025Absolute cinema.
- Sean McCluskey11 februari 2025While some may view Speed Racer as an unrefined, live action manga without much depth, I strongly disagree. Speed Racer is a work of art which unabashedly lives in its own world but somehow feels relatable with its many themes and deep emotional roots. The racing, color pallet, and technology are about as far from reality as possible but the family relationships, coming-of-age struggles, and large corporate corruption feel as real to the viewer as they do to the Racer Family. A true masterpiece.
- LD_5018 oktober 2025Ahead of its time and full of heart, Speed Racer is a perfect mixture between being absurd and mature in an oversaturated world that idolizes racing. On the surface, what may seem like an overly colorful world about cars that crash into one another, Speed Racer, is really a story about perseverance in the face of loss and disillusionment. Words cannot accurately describe the joy, frustration, and courage on display in this film and it is truly a must-see.
- Rowan Krzysiak13 februari 2025There are bits that aren't great but my god do I love this film.
- wyn21 februari 2026ahead of its time. love wachowskis 4 ever
- Arda Tuğsat29 november 2025My favorite childhood movie.
- Jean Sean3 februari 2026The Wachowskis' misunderstood masterpiece. This might come out wrong but it's the right amount of cheese and mediocre CGI for this film about a childrens cartoon. Everything felt very intentional and not like someone was half assing their job. I love the story, the wacky pacing, the characters. Its fun and silly while still feeling like quality. This to me was the Wachowski's last good film. Also, Speed Racer was released just as Lana Wachowski was navigating her own transition. She underwent gender confirmation surgery shortly after filming wrapped and avoided press junkets because the studio feared her transition might affect the film's "family-friendly" image. To me Racer X's story mirrors what Lana was going through and was a coming out story in disguise. Is Racer X’s masked existence, where he lives as a stranger to protect those he loves, meant to represent the experience of being in the closet while still longing for family connection?
- MIXERRULES13 december 2024One of the best movies of all time, Great adaptation of a great show. The effects are slightly over the top but that adds to the charm!
- Pissed Off Papa16 januari 20262hours and 15 mins I cant get back. I will stick with my 1967 ORIGINALS
- Noah321011 november 2025It was pretty good really felt like I watching the old show just updated and better effects. Plot was good acting was good It was cheesy in the right places.
- StubbsJX12 september 2025Great movie.
- quik30 maart 2025While it does leave you wondering "what even" quite often, in a fun way, the racing & battling scenes are really cool and there's a good story that knows not to take itself too seriously under the hood.
- stolteclan26 mei 2025Believe it or not, a solid adventure, racing movie with super saturated colours and a charming nod to the original.
