I was totally BLOWN AWAY by Speed Racer this past weekend!!! I really didn't know what to expect with this movie. I knew that it was going to be a visually hyper experience, but as I was starting to read reviews from the trusted sites I visit, I began to see that this was going to be more than just some silly attempt to turn a cartoon into a live action movie!
These two steal the whole movie!!! It's SPRITLE and CHIM-CHIM!!! I think one of the greatest things about these two are that you can really see how much Spritle loves and adores Chim-Chim. I really would love to see a whole line of Spritle shirts come out. Che Chim had to be one of my favorite shirts he had on. That and be sure to check out the Pajamas these two sport early on.
I don't really know how to explain how it felt watching this on the big screen. There were so many moments that really drove this movie. This was a total family movie and it was about a family sticking together. Loving and admiring eachother's gifts and talents and not detouring eachother from reaching their goals. You knew that this family loved and supported eachother. You knew that from the moment the film started. The first 10 minutes of this movie is true story telling at it's finest. With in all of the racing and action, it tells the story of Speed's older brother Rex and the tragedy that befalls the Racer family. Interwoven so well, I got chills and was amazed at how well it was told.
I'll be honest, there were alot of moments that gave me chills. Without giving away the ending, all I will say is that I was FLOORED. Chills galore. Even Dawn was taken with this movie. She saw the previews and already had set her mind up that she thought this was going to be stupid. I told her she might be suprised. I think she's this movie's biggest fan now. She said there were several times that she welled up with tears. THIS MOVIE IS THAT GOOD!!!
To see this movie in action is incredible. How well it flows. The backgrounds are just as important to the screen as what 's happening infront. And it gave me chills and hypnotized me the whole time. It's a living comic/cartoon!!! I wish I could see this one again. But time will not allow it just yet. It's another reason though to get that Blu-Ray player and High Def Television. This is one that will set the standard of High Def.
So, all I can say is get to the theater and see this movie! Fan or no fan of the cartoon, it doesn't matter. This movie is Fantastic! The kids will be glued to the screen with everything happening on it, and the older viewers will love the story. Next time, Indy and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!!!
(Just watch out for those Chim-Chim cookies!!!)
