Speed Racer

I watched this whenever it came out, either in theaters or rented from Redbox, and fell in love with it. As the years went on, I remembered it as that weird movie with insane CGI. That was until a month or so ago. I remembered this movie existed and did everything in my power to watch it again. I found a DVD copy at a V-Stock in West County Mall in St. Louis. Bought it as fast as I could. I’m happy to report that I think I enjoyed this more as a 23 year old than I did as a 7 year old when I first watched it. This movie is so stylized to a point where it can be jarring but my word, once you get used to it, you’re in for a ride. 10/10 in my book. Also has the funniest joke put to cinema, when Spritle says a German TV show is Chim Chim’s favorite show, and Pops responds “It’s in German” to which Spritle replies, “not the monkey parts.” Genius.
