| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaRepresenta uma experiência visual fascinante, e mesmo que sua história traga problemas pontuais, isto não compromete a abordagem inteligente e ambiciosa dos irmãos que já haviam mudado a paisagem da ficção científica contemporânea com Matrix. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceWhat grounds the spectacle, pushing it beyond a two-hour ejaculation of sensation, is its yearning for innocence |
| IGN MoviesTodd GilchristSpeed Racer is a masterpiece of its kind, and a definitive benchmark for film not only as a special effects extravaganza but as the moment when the Wachowskis went from wunderkind directors to true auteurs. |
| Film ExperienceNathaniel RogersMessy and undisciplined, if at least always itself. But isn't this a more suitable aesthetic for an imaginary movie version of Marvel's 'Dazzler' |
| BDK ReviewsKevin McCarthy(Speed Racer) is one of the most colorful, visual, fun and exhilarating movies I have seen in a while. |
| MTVKurt LoderThe picture looks great. In fact, it looks astonishing. But non-stop astonishment is exhausting --- sometimes you want it to stop. |
| Bryant Frazer's Deep FocusBryant FrazerSpeed Racer just gets better -- more cool, frenetic, and spectacular -- up until its gooseflesh-inducing climax. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonA 140-minute, candy-colored, empty-calorie extravaganza you have to be no more than 12 years old to enjoy. |
| E! OnlineMatt StevensEmile Hirsch takes a wild ride as the titular hero from the kitschy '60s cartoon, but if you don't have ADD before entering this Racer, you will by the finish line. |
| PremiereGlenn KennyThis is not a film occurring in an alternate or imaginary reality; rather, it is a film of NO reality, that is, a picture that changes the rules of its universe strictly according to its creators' whims. |
