Speed Racer is by far the best film of the decade so far

[myrrh]

Okay, solely based on your recommendation I went out and picked up this dvd.

I thought it would be crap, but damn, I think it was truly mind-blowing. They managed to capture everything about Speed Racer in a live action movie, which to be honest I thought would be impossible.

The races are so spectacularly dense that I need to watch it a couple times to catch everything that is going on.

One thing that I thought was great was the editing and how they interlaced the flashback scenes with the action scenes. Like in the beginning, which you mentioned, but also when they are racing through the desert and they flashback to show everyone getting bribed.

I also recommend this, if not just for the eye candy factor. However, I found myself at the end really enjoying this movie, as a solidly good fun flick.
