I had fun watching the movie “Speed Racer,” having been a fan of the animated series, now elevated to the status of the best film of the 21st century. It was entertaining and far-fetched, even though Patrick H. Willems puts his whole heart into it. I was disappointed when the movie first came out, but now I’m ready to see it with fresh eyes — especially since it was directed by the Wachowskis of the “Matrix” quadrilogy, and Willems highlights its techniques as being "ahead of their time".
