Ikke riktig alle liker Warshowski-brødrenes nye film. Alle er enige om at den er flott å se på men der ender enigheten. Noen elsker den og andre, som disse sitatene under vil vise, hater den:
Rex Reed fra New York Observer:
Speed Racer makes you want to never see a movie again as long as you live. I can sit through just about anything, but I draw the line at two hours and 15 minutes of fuchsia vomit. To suffer through this kind of hell, movie critics deserve combat pay.
Anthony Lane fra The New Yorker:
A four-year-old will be reduced to a gibbering but highly gratified wreck; an eight-year-old will wander around wearing a look that was last seen on the face of Dante after he met Beatrice. But what about the rest of us? True, our eyeballs will slowly, though never completely, recover, but what of our souls? I reckon the M.P.A.A. should use the advent of “Speed Racer” to revive an old ratings symbol: a big Roman X, meaning “of no conceivable interest to anyone over the age of ten.”
Joe Morgenstern fra Wall Street Journal:
This toxic admixture of computer-generated frenzy and live-action torpor succeeds in being, almost simultaneously, genuinely painful — the esthetic equivalent of needles in eyeballs — and weirdly benumbing, like eye candy laced with lidocaine. “The Matrix” gave us the trippy pleasure of bullet time, a super-slo-mo vision of the world. “Speed Racer” gives us the paradox of a drive time that’s super-fast and all but interminable. If its target audience turns out in vast numbers, we’ll be looking at child endangerment on a global scale.
