John Goodman's "terrible what passes for a ninja these days" was the best line of the movie.

F-Zero + Beyblade is a far funnier and accurate description than I would have ever come up with. Kudos on that line especially.

[@youpickwario1992]

Not gonna lie it actually got me excited for the idea.

“A bob so sharp it should be called a Robert” is poetry.

I have defended this movie since I first watched it in theaters. It is exactly what it is supposed to be: a live action kids anime. The same feeling that Detective Pikachu would cash in on years later. I unabashedly love this movie.

Just saw it yesterday and... Yeah this comment is pretty accurate. It's nonsensical, super over dramatical, extremely over the top, all the racers are ridiculous archetypes, the editing and visual effects are cranked up to 11... And I had the biggest goofiest smile on my face during the whole thing. It was everything I hoped it would be and more

One of the awesome things about this film is that they managed to make an action movie out of what is basically 95% close up of faces. It's about the acting and the selling of the characters. It's funny because the original show would use that technique to save on money, but doing so they really stumbled upon a compelling, awesome way to tell a story.

"with races that feel like watching an earthquake at the hot wheels factory" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 accurate asf

[@nickbh15]

Legitimately one of my favorite movies, that last race still gives me goosebumps

[@patrickcalip948]

The final race in this movie was so compelling and action packed. A literal acid trip where you got an entire movies worth of exposition in what felt like seconds. It was one of the most hype 3rd acts that I have ever seen. And I still get massive dopamine hits directly to my brain when I watch it. I really loved this movie, and I'm glad that not everyone is hating on it. I guess all the oscar bating is making people long for more simple and fun movies.

[@magus3553]

Now for me to inspire you to watch it today. The final race where RacerEx stands up... When he starts his engine, the sound of it roaring to life, the challenging of the champion "Teach me something," The first time he goes down the huge drop.

[@boeingnz]

Before that I didn't know car can do phycho crusher.

[@sorryitsmoops]

Let me tell you, this movie is wild on an actual acid trip lol. But at the end, when the night is over and you just want to watch awesome flashing colours.

[@SunGawdRa]

There's a video of this race that's set to Jet Set Run. I can't really hear the original anymore. I might have to give Speedracer a rewatching anyway.

[@OhWhatASave]

One of my favorite movies of all time. The final grand prix sequence is outstanding.

[@frozenninja4030]

They nailed the anime racing bonkers-ness with this movie. It is a blast from start to finish. Love it. Also loved Jupiter Ascending, incidentally.

[@ocuyo6044]

It's more cartoon than the cartoon itself. More colorful, more energetic.

[@kinglibra912]

"A Bob so sharp it should be called Robert" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tonybarnes2920]

I saw this movie when it first dropped for home and thought my TV was going to explode. I didn't get it and didn't want to get it, but my kid loved it, so I ended up seeing it 1000x. After the 3rd time, it started to click and I "got it". I got what it was about. I got how the Wachowski's weren't trying to hide their greenscreen/CGI but embrace it and break the 4th wall with it. I got Susan Surrandon's speech at the end and how not all "art" is a drawing on the page or paper on the wall. Good stuff.

[@TheAgr08]

This made my day. I love this movie so much. Never get tired of it. The very definition of 'earnest.'

[@daviddalrymple2284]

Yeah. I love that the Wachowskis so faithfully adapted the source material, warts and all.

[@hadiferlan3760]

[@starkillersneed]

@@imaadshahrukh4829 I feel like adapting anime to live action has always been the Wachowski's true calling. A lot of thhe Matrix choreography feels straight out of DBZ.

[@Kytetiger]

Since the movie 1st came out, i'm always telling my friends to watch it. This movie has a coherent fun tone throughout, and the editing skills are still impressive !

I saw it that Alamo Drafthouse a few months ago for the first time. I was little enraged at myself watching it for sleeping on it like I did.

[@motherplayer]

On a personal level, even back when it came out, I didn't think it was a great film, but I felt it captured the essence of it's source material better than most. And the fact that the theme song has motifs throughout the film's soundtrack helped it all the more. So yes, I do feel this was better than was given credit for, especially now when there are more duds than hits on adapting fantastical source material for the screen.
