Speed Racer — The silliest movie the Wachowskis have ever made — 7*/10

• Scenario: The global frame of the story is not new, but the Wachowskis do give it an incredible spin. It's so silly and out there, that it took me more than half the movie to get into the right mindset, but by the end I could really believe that the main character was in the zone and believe in the world the directors built. There's a lot of driving action in this weird flick, and if you have the patience for it, you will most likely enjoy it.
• Dialogs: Very comic book.
• Characters: Simple, even caricatural, but then so's the film. The most annoying character is the little brother Spritle and he takes some getting use to. Fortunately, he calms down at some point, and he is part of the silly nature of the flick.
• Actors: Good work on the part of everybody. Cast members include John Goodman, Christina Ricci, Susan Sarandon, Richard Roundtree and Emile Hirsch.
• Photography: Extremely colorful. A very special treatment that requires getting used to.
• Sound: Nice music and score.
• Special effects: A very special treatment that requires getting used to.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0811080/
• Who is it for? Wachowskis fans or those looking for something very different and silly.
