It is the perfect adaptation of anime to screen which is why it gets a 10/10. I love everything they've done though, as well as Tarantino whom I consider their closest (or only) contemporary counterpart. I consider them both the most interesting and innovative American filmmakers of the past 2 decades. :|

What is this Tarantino fetish? He's a geek who got lucky. He has'nt produced a movie in the last ten years with anything approaching the emotional resonance of a Shane Meadows or the cool factor of a Robert Rodriguez. All image and no substance does not make a good film and Speed Racer fails big time. Each to their own but the views i have recieved about my choices are perplexing ATM. BOTH my sons think Speed Racer is boring and all style over substance.
