The Best CD ever!!!
I loved the movie and the soundtrack is amazing. It does take you back to the movie and also inject adrenaline while you are driving or jogging. It is the best CD I ever bought.

Michael Giacchino, my god your awesome!
I have to admit I LOVED the movie, it was just so unique, like nothing before, ever! That being said, I have to say I ADORED the music!!! But also I have to say 'Michael Giacchino' is NOW probably my favourite composer, especially after doing this and his BRILLIANT work on LOST. The music fits the movie just perfectly and by itself it's just as brilliant and moving! The speed of the tracks are quite something, and yet alone, ther tracks can still hit the emotional notes without the need for visual aides. SERIOUSLY though I loved it anmd anyone who liked the film... it's a great buy, one for the collection!

ahh... a good old fashioned seizure...
mind you this is not a review of the music, though the music was terrible, i am reviewing the film itself. first i will start the review off by stating that the movie was nothing like a kids movie for the fact that there was plenty of foul language and even one point the child with the rediculously annoying monkey flips-off the camera. the plot was confusing and remarkably anti-capitalist, and the color scheme that does not even come close to anything in nature nearly burned my retenas. i did not care for any of the characters and many of whom were exceptionally annoying. the scenes changed with an average of possibly 4 camera changes per second. now something that fast paced with colors that bright would definatly cause a seizure to someone prone to them. i am not exaggerating when i say this, i had a headache whithin 10 minutes of the opening credits, and my friend sitting next to me did too, and most likely had some motion sickness. the race sequences were irritating at best and dragged on for what seemed like hours. instead of the 1 hour long movie it is, the race sequences bumped it up to a solid 2 hours! and also because of the incredibly fast paced filming all of the "deep" and dramatic scenes seemed non-existant or supid and ill-concieved. 1 star for the horrible speed racer propaganda film. a side note to how incredibly bad it was: about an hour into this movie, children began playing in the isles screaming and the parents were talking to each other... loudly... nobody thought to shush them because they didnt care about the movie either! i saw this at a bargain theatre and i must tell you... that wasted my dollar.

Go, Speed Racer, Go!
The best film score I've bought this year was The Rescuers Down Under, which was released in 1991 and re-released in 2002. No, it didn't come out this year, and If you want to play by the rules, then Speed Racer is the best(so far) of 2008. First of all, It was the best movie I've seen this year(2008), but currently The Dark Knight hasn't come out yet and I'm thinking that it will earn first place. Second, Giacchino is a briliant composer, and has really set the bar high in Speed Racer. Having created the music for(and these are his best): Mission Impossible 3, Ratatouille, LOST(Seasons 1,2,3), and a few of the Medal of Honor video games, Giacchino has outdone himself and has given birth to a masterpiece! The music has so much energy, and the only downside is that it might have a bit too much! Plus, you have to see the movie to really appreciate the music. And you might have to give the score a few listens to really get into it. Other than that, the music is fantastic. If you enjoyed the original theme from the TV show, then you're in for a reall treat, because Giacchino seemed to enjoy it too and has weaved it into the score. The last song on the disc is a great example of this, because that's all it really is, the original theme. However, some of the new music has worked its way into it and it sounds so fun. Another favorite is the track titled The Maltese Ice Cave, where an epic choir blazes the words "Speed Racer, He can race!" over swift violins and other orchestral instruments. Like I said before, Speed Racer earns 1st place so far, but be careful: If you don't like your music too "speedy", then Speed Racer isn't the score for you.

Speed Racer Original Soudtrack
Having seen the movie, I was very interested in finding the soundtrack for it, and luckily found it on Amazon.com. The music is very reminiscent of the original Anime TV show from the '60s, and easily evoked images from the movie which I had just seen two weeks prior to ordering the CD. My only disappointment: The remix of the old Speed Racer theme ("Go Speed Racer Go" by Ali Dee & The Deekompressors), though played during the end credits of the movie, wasn't included on this CD. Grade A+ All The Way
