Speed Racer Movie in Theaters Soon
I’m sure there is thousands and thousands of kids and probably a few adults too, that is looking forward to the new movie that is coming out May 9th. I think Speed Racer will be the number 1 movie this week at the box office. Just seeing some of the previews to this movie, you can tell that they didn’t take any shortcuts to making this movie. Some of the scenes in the movie look really intense and all the fancy graphics is candy for the eyes.
Speed Racer promises to pack a punch, as movie watchers will get to see this mach 5 speed car light up the big screen. This vehicle has no limits and it will jump over trees and even go under water. I’m sure the folks that have to put up with rush hour traffic in the mornings and evenings on their way to and from work, would love to have a car that could do all of this! When Speed Racer is not racing, he still has an exciting life of battling villains with his kid brother Spritle, girlfriend Trixie and pet monkey Chim-Chim.
This movie does look like it will be filled with action from start to end. The main story line appears to center around the cross-country rally known as The Crucible. In the past this race took the life of Speed Racer’s brother Rex Racer. So with all the competition that is going on for Speed in this movie, he also has to battle the memories of his late brother. I think all kids of all ages will absolutely love this movie and all parents will need to make an effort to get their kids to the theaters this weekend to see the movie. I’m sure all the kids will be talking about the movie Speed Racer at school on Monday morning, so don’t let them give away any secrets to the movie and spoil it for your children. This movie will not be like the typical movie for kids and adults will enjoy this one as much as the younger folks. It appears to be a movie like Shrek that will entertain all ages in the crowd.
The movie is 2 hours and 15 minutes long. It’s rated PG and will start nation wide in theaters on May 9th, 2008. The cast includes: Emile Hirsch as Speed Racer, Susan Surandon as Mom Racer, John Goodman as Pops Racer, Christina Ricci as Trixie and Matthew Fox as Racer X. If you get a chance to take the kids out this weekend to see the movie, please be sure to come back here and leave your thoughts on the movie and tell me is this a “must see” movie or “wait for VCR” movie.
