Critical response [edit]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 41% blessing rating based on 217 reviews, with an average rating of v.two/10. The website's critics consensus says "Overloaded with headache-inducing special effects, Speed Racer finds the Wachowskis focused on visual thrills at the expense of a coherent storyline".[61] Metacritic, which uses a weighted boilerplate, assigned the pic a score of 37 out of 100 based on 37 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[62] Audiences polled past CinemaScore gave the film an boilerplate class of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.[63]

Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Kirk Honeycutt called Speed Racer'southward visual furnishings "stellar", but stated it "proudly denies entry into its ultra-bright world to all but gamers, fanboys and anime enthusiasts". He criticized that story and character were "tossed aside" towards the "wearying" races.[64] Todd McCarthy of Multifariousness noted the target audience should exist amused, only others might think the motion picture "a cinematic pile-up", citing its implausibility and the lack of identifiable peril in the driving sequences. While noted viewers interested in CGI would capeesh it, McCarthy said the frame sometimes resembled "a kindergartner's art class collage". He had praise for the cinematography, the musical score, and the cast.[65] Anime News Network's Zac Bertschy likewise praised the cast, while saying the story is "as anyone would wait", adding "the characters are all cardboard archetypes with Sabbatum Forenoon dialogue."[66] Speed Racer "sets out to honor and refresh a youthful enthusiasm from the past and winds upwards smothering the fun in cocky-conscious grandiosity", alleged The New York Times 's A. O. Scott.[67]

Glenn Kenny of Premiere criticized the film'southward time-shifting narrative and multiple storylines, saying it "yields heretofore undreamed of levels of narrative incoherence". Kenny praised the film's look, maxim the "cheez-whizziness" that others had criticised was "precisely the betoken". He remarked the moving picture inspires even more thinking than The Matrix because of its "blatantly anti-capitalist storylines".[68] Similarly, The New Yorker 's Anthony Lane said the pic could all the same cease up "bleached of fun" due to the theme mooted in The Matrix that all of us are existence controlled. In Speed Racer, Lane argues, this comes in the form of villain Royalton, who "vows to crush [Speed] with 'the unassailable might of money.'" He concluded some people may phone call it entertaining, simply he "felt [it] like Pop fascism".[69] Jim Emerson, editor at the Chicago Sun-Times, wrote that Speed Racer "is a manufactured widget, a packaged commodity that capitalizes on an anthropomorphized cartoon of Capitalist Evil in society to sell itself and its ancillary products".[lxx] It was said to be "the almost irksome piece of CGI (Computer Generated Idiocy [sic])" of the "past couple of years" at the time of film's release by Philip French, a The Guardian critic.[71]

IGN'south Todd Gilchrist gave a positive review, stating that Speed Racer "is non merely the best picture show that it could be, it's pretty much exactly what it should be: full of exciting, brilliantly-conceived races, primary-color characterizations and an irresistible sense of fun". He called Speed Racer "a masterpiece of its kind", praising "the special effects extravaganza" and "the moment when the Wachowskis went from wunderkind directors to true auteurs".[72] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune described Speed Racer as "buoyant pop amusement and noted the Wachowskis respected "the themes of award, dishonor, family unit loyalty and Visigoth-inspired barbarism behind the wheel" of the original work. The cast is praised as beingness "earnest" and "gently playful". However, he stated that "it sags in its midsection" with unnecessary dialogue.[73] Although it was said to be among the worst films of the twelvemonth past Rebecca Murray of Nearly.com, she included Speed Racer on her list of "Elevation 10 Action Movies of 2008", stating "the activity sequences are definitely middle-communicable."[74] Fourth dimension magazine included Speed Racer on its list of "The All-Time 25 Best Sports Movies" and "Pinnacle x Movies of 2008". It said "Non every avant-garde FX masterpiece receives instant audience validation", described the movie as "a rich, cartoonish dream: not-end Op art, and a triumph of virtual virtuosity."[75] [76]

Roger Allam'due south portrayal of Arnold Royalton was praised; Variety said he fabricated "a succulent honey-to-hate-him villain".[65] Fourth dimension magazine critic Richard Corliss claimed that Allam was "channeling Brit pundit Christopher Hitchens as his most pompestuous";[77] similar comparisons were fabricated past several other reviewers.[78] [79] [68]

Most the picture's reception, Christina Ricci said: "I think I was aware of the disconnect that was going on at the fourth dimension, and I was sort of watching and… Not that I expected that, simply I knew that there would be problems, because I knew that people were expecting something very different than what was actually going to be delivered."[fourscore]

The flick has appeared periodically on lists of underrated films. Speed Racer was elected the third almost underrated picture show of the 2000s past Den of Geek's N.P. Horton, which called it "a game-changing flick which redefined and reconceptualised the picture show class as we know it."[81] Nick Hyman, writing for Metacritic, included the motion picture on its listing of "movies that critics got wrong" calling it "a cult archetype in the making".[82] It was described as "near unmatched [...] insofar as action/adventure/family unit films go" by Alejandro Stepenberg from JoBlo.com,[83] while Slate 's Chris Wade named it "an underrated masterpiece," stating that the Wachowskis "made a bright visual drawing that dares to ask that you take it seriously."[84] Annalee Newitz of io9 analyzed the ten reasons why they believe the pic to exist an "unsung masterpiece", including its visuals, sense of humor, and political themes.[85] Tor.com's Dexter Palmer considered the possibility that the movie is a "misunderstood art film", highlighting its color scheme that is a "pleasure" and the fact it does not try to seem real. Palmer lauded it because he does not think films must imitate reality, and ultimately said it is "an extreme reminder of what films, and especially fantasy and science fiction films, can place on screen" and that it is "a refreshing alter of pace" in film manufacture.[86] Collider'due south Kayti Burt ranked information technology at #xxx of Best Hollywood Blockbusters of the 21st Century stating, "While other blockbusters of the year (and the decade) worked to ground their fantastical premises in a gritty, realistic setting, Speed Racer leaned difficult in the other direction."[87]

Rain said he was hired for three years, while noting that is non a guarantee.[94] Ricci besides considered it a possibility; she stated "When we [the cast] were all leaving, we were like 'write the sequel!' 'Nosotros want to come back'. And they [the Wachowskis] were like, 'I know. I know. We're going to. Don't worry'", calculation she would like more activity scenes to her character.[95] Producer Silverish said that the Wachowskis "have a great story idea for a sequel" just that information technology is "a great idea for a sequel if information technology makes sense to make it.".[96] In 2018, Hirsch stated in a tweet that a sequel script has been written.[97]
