Critics Consensus: Overloaded with headache-inducing special effects, Speed Racer finds the Wachowskis focused on visual thrills at the expense of a coherent storyline.

ClapperCast

Carson Timar

Not only do The Wachowskis bring one of the best visual identities ever seen in film, but the emotions are operating on just as high a level.

Behold the racing stripes and lipstick so red they’d make Technicolor blush, and live-action performances (by almost everyone but star Emile Hirsch) reaching for the transcendently unrestrained hysteria of action anime.

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Tina Kakadelis

The Wachowskis’ style is very distinctive, and while The Matrix series is far grittier than Speed Racer, they share the same belief that good people and love are the answer to changing the world for the better.

It’s a cinematic sugar rush.

While I wouldn't go as far as to say Speed Racer is a masterpiece, it is a supremely good time.
