I think it is the best movie of the year already... and, for me, it has to be one of my favourite films ever!

I've been reading reviews this morning and the most it seems to have received is 3 stars out of 5!

Everyone has been criticising the acting, and saying the story is weak.... but I couldn't disagree more! The acting is stylised, so you can't measure it against a normal performance. Look at the acting for what it is and it never comes across badly...

The story, I thought, was quite complex for what it is. Every racing situation is one where Speed has to win, so the kids can enjoy that, but behind that is the slightly more mature story of corporate backing and stock manipulation, which just gives the racing more wait, and ensures that it continues the story itself rather than being just 'racing porn' as it could be.

As for the style of the movie and, admittedly, flashy structure, it is fitting to what this movie is... a live action cartoon. Never once does it put a foot wrong in this respect. For anyone going to see it you must have an open mind. If not then you won't enjoy this... but if you do then you will be rewarded.

My verdict... 5/5

Anyone else have any thoughts?
