GO SPEED RACER GO!

The second big summer blockbuster is out. But it was unfortunately not as good as the first big movie this year. But still, Speed Racer delivers. In case you didn't already know this movie is based on the 1960's Japanese cartoon show Speed Racer. This film stars Emile Hersch as the speed demon himself, Speed Racer. This film also stars one of my favorite actors Mathew Fox as one of my favorite TV characters Racer X. Speed Racer has to team up with Racer X to stop Mr. Musha and reveal him for the fraud he is. The obviously best part of this film was the racing scenes. The special effects were "on the edge of your seat" amazing. During the last race your mouth will hit the ground. The acting was...all right, but I don't think people go to a speed racer film for the acting. The plot was actually pretty good, but not great. The Mach 5 is almost identical to the old cartoon version. All of the old characters make an appearance in this film, and they look identical to the cartoon characters. I give this film a 8 out of 10.
