Movie Review: 'Speed Racer'
Epoch Times - 5/10/2008

Film review: Speed Racer
The Onion AV Club - 5/10/2008
The Wachowski brothers have officially left this mortal coil. Any suggestion that a live-action take on a frivolous '60s anime series would represent a downshift in ambition after The Matrix trilogy is dispelled within the first few seconds of Speed Racer, which seems to take the concept of 600 km/h

Review: 'Speed Racer' spins by screen at nauseating, wearing pace

This is a movie that takes its theme-song lyric, 'Go, Speed Racer, go,' as gospel. It is all movement, all razzle-dazzle, all go-go-go. This worked well for the Wachowski brothers when they created the groundbreaking vision of 'The Matrix' trilogy - but in this adaptation of the '60s Japanese cartoo

Film review: 'Speed Racer' offers escapism with morality
Commercial Appeal - 5/9/2008
From the Day-Glo pop of its computer-generated environments to the '2001'-like rush of its almost abstract action climax, 'Speed Racer' may be the most extreme head-trip movie for kids since Gene Wilder conducted us to a lethal candyland in 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' almost four decad
