Movie Reviews of Speed Racer, Vol. 4 - Episodes 37-44
Movie Review: This should have been the end of Speed Racer
Summary: 5 Stars
If the reports are correct, this volume should contain only 8 episodes of Speed Racer from the original series. This means you'll be seeing:
The Terrifying Gambler
The Secret Invaders (Part 1)
The Secret Invaders (Part 2)
Man Behind the Mask
The Car Destroyer
The Desperate Racer
The Dangerous Witness
Race the Laser Tank
So it appearsLionsgate will stretch this out one more year by since there's still the final 8 episodes left to be release. At least they're making up the lack of episodes (since Vol. 3 had 13 episodes) by including a Mach 5 car - which is a better gimmick than the theme song cover that had the battery die after six months.
As for the show, it's always amazing. Before my cousin shipped out to Iraq, we spent an afternoon watching Vol. 2. It was like we were back to being in elementary school - except we didn't need a fake ID to buy our beer. The limited animation techniques in the series don't detract from the story.
Movie Review: Love Speed Racer
Summary: 5 Stars
I have all 5 DVDs of Speed Racer. What a nice blast from the past. It's also somewhat refreshing to let my child watch it vs. the endless drone of Dora or Diego. He loves it. We watch all of the DVDs depending on his mood and he even wants to be Speed Racer for Halloween. It's a shame that the Speed Racer "comeback" on the internet seems mindless. Speed Racer was almost like James Bond, fighting bad guys back then. You don't see that nowadays in many cartoons. I was 3 when I first was watching these and I still think they are all awesome. Even more fun to watch now that I'm older and understand what is going on now.
It's too bad they aren't bringing it back, old school style. That would be the way to do it.
Movie Review: Adventures' waitin' just ahead......
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! Nothing can stop Speed, as he battles to defeat the evil plans of villains out to conquer the world (or at the very least, a race with a bizarre name!)! Will they succeed, or will Speed prevail?! The answers to some of the questions at least, are as follows:
The Terrifying Gambler
The Secret Invaders (part 1)
The Secret Invaders (part 2)
The Man Behind the Mask
The Car Destroyer
The Desperate Racer
The Dangerous Witness
Race The Laser Tank
If Speed can keep this up, he may very well end up being a multi-generational affair!! On to the final volume!
Movie Review: The real speed racer.
Summary: 5 Stars
The other day I walked past my tv and saw my 7 year old son watching The new speed racer. I informed him that there was a speed racer before that one, the original speed racer that had no computer generated effect like the one in the movie or wild looking machine like on the next generation. I bought a few of the DVD's and he viewed them. He loved the show and can't get enough. No fancy computer generated graphics just simple plain animation. Now I have to purchase the remaining two DVD's and yes I enjoyed them also, it was a blast from the past.Movie Review: VERY DISAPOINTING
Summary: 5 Stars
I really looked forward to this release, since it featured my favourite episode Race The Laser Tank. Unfortuantely this episode has been "time compressed" in other words they sped it up. It flys by at a frustratingly fast pace. It is completely annoying and it sucks. Lions Gate
sucks for doing this (but then what can you expect from a company that creates a logo that is so dark you can barely see it.) I am not a gerbil. I really want to see these episodes the way they were originally shown.
