4. Acting

   Really Great 4.5

   the performance in this film is nothing short of amazing. the actors took words in the past and brought it back with a new twist. kids getting into trouble, young love, a monkey and boy playing in the livingroom pretending they are cartoon fighters, I mean who doesn’t do that in real life? (except for the monkey, lol)

   emile hirsh (speed racer)- he brings passion of the sport to life. He shows how real someones dreams can become.

   christina ricci (trixie)- she really protrays a girl in love with speed and shows how enthusiastic someone can be about having a boyfriend so passionate about something. she really shows concern and support during the entire film.

   john goodman (pops racer)- he is the doting father and husband. he shows how he can run a race name and take care of his family the best he knows how. he also protrays the overprotecting father that learns from his past mistakes and comes back to make things right.

   susanne sarandon (mom racer)- she is the supporting mother, she shows how proud she is with her son and stands behind him all of the way. she really shows that with her actions as well as her words.

10. Film

    Perfect 5.0

    the filmotography was amazing. when the actor was appearing to have tunnel vision or a situation became intense, you felt it, and saw it. the colors, the sound, the design and the overall vision of the movie was protrayed as it should have been, a cartoon, a comic book brought to life.

11. Direction Perfect 5.0

12. Play Perfect 5.0

13. Music Perfect 5.0

14. Visuals Perfect 5.0
15. Content

16. Edge

    Risqué 1.9

    this movie brought you to the edge of your seat. you felt every bit of excitement and adenalin that the characters were shooting at you. this movie will make you pay so much attention to detail and it will make you feel every bit of aww and amazement that a race, that a movie should.

17. Sex Innocent 1.0

    no sex guys, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t get excited!

18. Violence Fierce 2.5

    the movie was pretty violent with people knocking others down revines and throwing fire balls and cheating during the races.

19. Rudeness Salty 2.2

    some rudeness, but what do you expect from a big company trying to ruin smaller family owned companies?

21. Reality

    Supernatural 3.7

    the idea of the story was definatly pretty realistic, but the film itself was boarderline extrodinary. you try racing in thoughs types of tracks and terrain. lol, I know no one would last!

22. Circumstantial Glib 1.1

    this film shows that if you put you mind into something that you believe in and take some risks you can do just about anything. I know that there are people out there that want to make their dreams into reality, this boy (speed) really pulled it off.

23. Biological Fantasy 5.0

24. Physical Fantasy 5.0

    there is no way anyone can do flips in cars the way these guys did and there’s no way anyone can have race tracks so far off the ground and so super dangerous that no one can get through. unless it’s the movies.
