what you say at the start is so true. we often have a 5 or 10 star rating system, but anything that isnt atleast a 4 or an 8 is considered horrible, which also reflects in how people choose to rate things. enjoyed something well enough? a whopping 9 stars. kind of becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

[@sarahcox1197]

I just love how this was shot like an anime. Sure it looks strange when you put real people to it, but that's because it hadn't been done before. The Wachowski's really took a risk here and in my opinion had amazing vision with this movie. It's a damn shame that it's not as appreciated by critics.

[@ronaldomendoza7578]

[@greenpenguin0763]

Because not attend "Hollywood taste". Over sexualized children's, every stupid joke of nowadays movies, I don't remember back then if they already have agendas to push forward but probably yes.

[@vinnregi4882]

That was the problem though. You cant put an anime on the big screen. Or a comic book. You adapt it, ground it, then serve it. The Wachowski's brought it to as close to an anime as possible. Very faithful. Which is what made it so tacky, cheesy and alienating to audiences. It's a work of art. It's not a Mona Lisa, that everyone can appreciate. But a Guernica, that has most going "what the fuck am i looking at...?"

[@Scoopscoopscoop]

The fact that the movie was shot in front of a green screen so they could superimpose the actors into these spectacular, super anime inspired backgrounds, really makes me think of cel animation. You would literally have a translucent sheet of celluloid with the characters painted on. I loved watching speed racer as a kid and I instantly fell in love with the movie.

[@VidralliaArchives]

This movie is a rare gem. I won't claim that it's perfect, but it is far more wholesome than the vast majority of what we see on the big screen. Just... ...don't watch it if you have epilepsy.

I never understood the hate for this movie, it's like the greatrst live action anime ever.

[@FolstrimHori]

I know exactly why, and it's the same reason I didn't want to see it as a kid. A lot of people were (and still are) stuck in the mindset that media has to be serious and mature in order to be considered "worthy". Cheesiness and exaggeration have no place in their mind, and as such things that have no qualms with reveling in campiness make them choke. Nowadays I absolutely love and embrace the cheese.

[@TheSilentJorge]

@@FolstrimHori And is not only the cheese, that movie is 1:1 with the Anime. For me it is, as Jose puts it, the greatest anime to live action movie in history. It embraces everything from the anime and translates it beautifully to screen. You go to RT and see the reviews knocking on it and you will find yourself with a bunch of idiots who did not understand where this was coming from and reviewed it without any context. My GF is a huge fan of the anime and had never watched this movie before, we watched it last night and this grown-ass 26-year old turned into a little girl super impressed with what the movie has to offer. And that was before getting to the ending, she watched the first race and was immediately sold.

[@Dondingdingding]

The fact that it stayed accurate to the cartoons is actually amazing. This is exactly how i pictured out speed racer in live action and i was not disappointed. Others just wanted to make this film a more realistic and logical approach i wouldn't want that kind of shit for speed racer

[@Anonymous551656]

Well-put. This movie had ridiculous physics, excessive and massively over-saturated visuals, and a cheesy plot - which is exactly what it was _supposed_ to be like. This movie was pretty much perfect in portraying what it was trying to portray. And as you point out, the transitions in particular were absolutely masterful. It's a criminally underrated movie and deserved much more appreciation than it got.

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

I keep feeling bad for whoever had to edit it all, but at the same time, I'd like to buy them a pizza because their work was insanely good!

[@quinnmarchese6313]

i showed this movie to my mom a bit over a year ago, she had grown up with the show, and she was in love with the nostalgia and thought it was cool.

[@foodreacts837]

Such a good film

[@MrGamelover23]

​​@@Al.j.VasquezEditing it is actually relatively easy considering that pretty much the entire movie was shot on a green screen sphere. This was pretty much the only way they were able to get the film to look like it did, because everything was fake, meaning that they weren't constrained by what a camera could really film. It also made all those transitions a lot easier than if there had been anything real in the background.

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

@@MrGamelover23 I don't think you're taking in consideration the compositing between shots, the amount of cuts there are in this movie, and the large amount of work that needs to be put on every scene that has to look over the top. I am talking of course about the guy that had to stitch the scenes in his computer, that timeline had to look quite busy.

As told by a Reddit user, "That final race scene is one of the most visceral scenes I’ve experienced in my life. It gets me so amped, goosebumps and manly tears. All the cutting between Speed and what it means to him, to his family, to his mom, to his dad, to his older brother, to racing. How in the zone he is, people yelling, overwhelmed, commentators losing it, the music swelling and exploding in a double burst of heavenly vindicating choruses and trumpets draping over that red checkered finish line. It’s glorious." And that is true for me as well. That final race was jaw-dropping and ethereal in its own right.

[@sinxsideways5900]

@@JD_tcb many ppl have said it simply was too early for its time. The CGI and vFX of this movie were insane for 2009. If it came out today it would be a hit

[@dyslexicfurry]

I argue that people are still not ready for Speed Racer in 2021. Many people are still high on realism and pushing graphical capabilities ignoring stylistic approaches. No amount of enhancements would make the movie any better if you ask me its perfect the way it is. There is hope for future movies to follow in it's footsteps taking a look at the video game market (I know different from movies but hear me out) games that take a more stylistic approach have been come popular in the last few years. Games such as Boarder Lands, Overwatch, Fortnite, Valorant, (Basically all big indie games).

For me there is too much suspension of disbelief; the cars are moving too much in unnatural ways. Plus there is a huge disconnect between what the actors are doing/behaving/driving and what's going on in the same action sequence.

[@STN4D]

@@ExpIohd "the cars are moving too much in unnatural ways" makes sense since it has the futuristic environment around it. The transitions or the different shots being shown every 5 secs of the race kinda resembles the craziness or the "fast" feeling of communicating while driving.

[@Lockn3s5]

The choice in aesthetic visuals is a stylistic choice. It's the reason the CGI has aged well. Trying to make things look photo-realistic just points out the flaws in our technology but when you choose to present a fantastical art style it steps outside of time as it's unique only to that world. I prefer to see more stylistic choices like these in films.

The emotional moments of this movie are pure and treated with respect by everyone involved. The visuals both draw from the cartoon origin and iterate on it in a way that had never been done before. The color palette of this movie is gorgeous. It's creative, it's heartwarming, it's respectful to it's source material while making it work in a modern film, and above all it's unique. The final scene of this movie is one of the highest emotional highs I've ever gotten from any film, all because every single element of the movie builds to that payoff wonderfully. No wonder critics hated it. It's a brilliant light among the drudge they're used to praising.

I collected the mach 5 diecast cars i could find. When I was 8 and the movie was announced, my dad and we jumped for joy. I got the bowl from the kelloggs cereal boxes. I have all the hotwheels cars. even the lego sets. my father and i went to see the movie opening day in theaters. I brought my Speed lego minifigure so he could see himself too.

5:09 - 5:23 Oh my god I've been saying this for the longest time. The first sequence is a perfect introduction to a this movie. It shows you right from the get-go that this movie's got HEART. You understand Speed's passion, his bond with his big brother, but you also understand his family's emotions as well, how tragedy affected everyone and, by the time the race is about to finish, you know it's not just a race; you understand exactly what it means to them because you know what they've been through. I've always been moved by that first sequence and of course I love the rest of the movie as well. I don't just like; I'm very fond of it, and it's one of my all-time three favorite movies.

[@danarseti]

I'll be 58 in a few months, and I used to watch TOS Speed Racer as first run when I was 5 or 6 in the sixties. In fact, my two favorite cartoons were Speed Racer and Jonny Quest. When this "live" action version came out, the only thing I knew that had to be in it for me to like it was Speed jumping out of the Mach 5 before it came to a complete stop and glamming in a pose in front of the camera. When that happened in the movie, I almost cried. Yeah, the visuals were colorful, but it is and was supposed to be based on the original anime. Brilliant. Of course, I own the Blu-ray and have seen it multiple times. Did anybody realize that the Speed Racer cartoon was the first time, to my knowledge anyway, that did "Bullet Time"? After Speed leaps out of the Mach 5 and poses, the camera travels around him in bullet time. Is it a coincident that the Wachofsky brothers made "bullet time" famous during the Matrix? I don't think that is a coincidence.

[@sStyleMo]

I feel like Speed Racer was a victim of it's time. As pointed out in this video, Dark Knight was a huge success while Speed Racer was a flop. Both came out in 2008. Audiences at that time wanted more realistic themed movies. They wanted an air of realism to what would normally be a fantastical concept. Dark Knight was a Batman movie with a realistic theme and audiences in 2008 ate that up. Speed Racer was hyper stylised and over the top in many ways, and that's just not what people wanted back then. People only took it at face value and dismissed it as "not realistic" and that was that back then. I feel like if Speed Racer were to come out more recently (obviously with up to date CGI) it would've been better received because we've had so many hyper realistic blockbuster movies to the point we're getting sick of them. People can now sense the corporate lack of soul in many modern movies, and Speed Racer challenges that. It's a genuine story and nowdays being genuine in media is hard to come by. Speed Racer is literally bursting with heart and genuinity and I think that's why so many people have come to retroactively love it

I drew designs of new race tracks and cars compliant with the universe, played out detailed scenarios in my head... Good times.

Amen! Amen! AMEN!!! I love Speed Racer! One of the most underrated, underappreciated films in recent years. I am especially tired of people complaining that it's nothing like the show when one of the best parts about it is that IT'S JUST LIKE THE SHOW. Sure, it's told a little out of order and adds a bit to the mythos, but it basically tells the story of the first season of the show and gets much of its aesthetic and tone straight from the original cartoon. One of my favorite films. When it was released on Bluray, I watched it at least every other week for about 6 months.

I agree with you completely that Speed Racer does not deserve all the hate lumped on it. Its a great enjoyable film.

I've experienced this game on PS2 and dammmmit...was some of the best hours of arcade race gaming in my life
