This has always been easy for me because my favorite movie is "Speed Racer" which has like a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes.
A movie that was genuinely before its time. Would fit right in these days with "Barbie" and "Everything Everywhere All At Once".
Speed Racer is such a rad movie. Definitely suffered from the tendency I noticed in the past of hyper-stylized/”weird" movies getting trashed by critics just for aesthetics. That does seem to be lessening quite a bit, given the reception to movies like you mentioned. Here's hoping it keeps going!
It's terrible until you realise they did it like that on purpose.
A terrible live action remake of a terrible anime was on purpose?
Best live-action anime adaptation of all time.
Thank you, I was searching for this so I didn't have to post the same thing. It is such amazing world building creating an absurd colorful world of anime come to life that you never question it. John Goodman beats up a ninja and makes a tacky joke without it feeling dumb because it fits the world. The final race goes full expressionism and it's beautiful.
Hell it deserves praise as it's one of the few movies with a kid and animal sidekick where I don't hate either because they just make sense in the madness.
It's amazing how faithful to the original it was and still was brought into the modern era. Most remakes never do that.
Bro just watch it while listening to eurobeat/DEJAVU
You gonna love it
