Speed Racer is by far the best film of the decade so far

[grady]

Get me a tab of said illicit substance and I will try watching more of the film.

On a technical level I can see what you're getting at, but otherwise, they did what Lucas did on the three Star Wars prequels but the technology has improved and computers are faster. It's all green screened. David Tattersall, the director of photography on the Star Wars films, was the DP on Speed Racer too so they got someone versed in the technique to shoot the film.

I'm basing all this on the 25 minutes or so I watched of the film while waiting for the movie I was seeing to start a few months back at a local cinema where I ducked into the Speed Racer auditorium. I wish I would've gone back to see Speed Racer but it was gone within three weeks from the Portland market.
