final race of speed racer is right there with 2001's most awe inspiring moments. Some of the best pure cinema... And critics fucked it up.

@FilmCritHULK mis marketed as a visionary event film ala matrix rather than family film. You can see 1/2 reviews mentioning video games.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
