It’s a great movie but it doesn’t include a digital code like the description says

Incredible picture and sound. Most people love to hate this film. The Wachowskis made a perfect copy of the cartoon! Well done.

This is the second one I've received [do to poor packaging for shipping breaking the first] and neither had code for digital in them as advertised

Caution: there is usually a lot of color and action in every scene, so it may seem overwhelming if you don't like so much happening. However, all of the scenes are a lot of fun! I never read/watched the original series, so I have no idea how close it is, but the modern spin makes an interesting story line that is ultimately a 'good guys win' and 'family and friendship conquer all' type message. All of the characters were well cast, making you dislike the bad guys, root for the good guys, and want to watch the movie again and again!

this bluray received a standard dolby 5.1 soundtrack, not a lossless track which is typical for bluray. I eagerly await when warner brothers double dips this with am HD track

A good movie. Has heart, and is pretty good at representing the original series.

Not the Speed Racer of my childhood, but my 3 year old grandson is obsessed with this movie. Glad it was available.

Though not perfect, if you grew up with the cartoons, the Mach 5 will bring back all the fun memories watch Speed Racer cartoons.

The movie was a little confusing in the beginning but got better. The desert race scene was fun to watch!

It features superlative video quality that enhances the experience with visually stunning high definition video. Great movie to see full capabilities of the hd tv set.

For any fan of the tv show, they got it right. Goodman plays a real live version of Pops.

Great price, timely, accurate shipping, and a great movie...

Just have fun with this one. Just wish there was a 3D version. Great price. $6.99

This was a fantastic movie - and superbly filmed. Technologically everything you would expect from the W-brothers. I think this movie suffered in the theater for two reasons - one, it followed Iron Man out, but more impoortantly I think people expected a dark, twisted adventure like the Matrix. Anyone familiar with the old cartoon should know t that this simply wouldn't have been true to the original. IF you were a fan of the old saturday morning show, this was absolutely spot-ON! So many nuances I had forgotten. Most surprising was how they took a part of the plot (which I will omit so as not to spoil anything for younger fans) and turned it into a great father/son family message. Pops learns a hard lesson and the movie goes out of its way to drive that message home. I took my teenage daughter to this - she having never seen a SR cartoon, and I a long time fan...we both LOVED this movie. It's a roller coaster, with a light plot that demands you check your high-brow expectations at the opening credits...this is a good old fashioned summer fun movie.....oh, with unbelievable special effects. Enjoy this movie!

There are many reviews on here bashing this movie's plot. For a movie originating from a Japanese cartoon, I think the movie plot is very adequate, and is not any worse than a movie like Transformers (also based off of a Japanese cartoon). The acting was also clearly altered to give the cartoony and overall feel of the original cartoon, so please refrain from using that as a con. Overall, I loved the movie... especially the great looking effects in the races. I thought it was very successful, and I wish that all of the movies based off of cartoons and video games were this good (Final Fantasy: Spirits Within being one of the poorer transitions). The comments were witty and humorous, and the overall dialogue of the movie was enjoyable. Great movie!

Speed Racer is a fun, colorful and easy to watch movie that really shows off what home HD can do. The story is simple and often silly and the action is all very stylized but the vibrant colors and bold presentation make it a blast to watch. Of course, if you're not a fan of the style then you're going to struggle through the slightly overlong runtime and occasionally long-winded exposition.

in most likelihood, you just purchased either an HDTV or a blu-ray player and you can't think of a movie to get to really enjoy your new hidef experience. this movie is made to be watched on Blu-Ray...the colors, the clarity, the special effects...it all makes for a very enjoyable experience. personally i did not find this as boring as others did...but i try not to be overly critical... its a movie everyone in the family can enjoy .. and it will make you proud of your new purchase.

It's fast, it frolics and it doesn't let up -- from the moment the first checkered flag was waved, SPEED RACER is off and running and it's a thrilling race to the finish. Taking it's inspiration from the popular anime cartoon series, this movie doesn't take itself too serious (which is fine) and the race never gets boring!

When I first heard of the production of a speed racer movie, I didn't think much of it really, until I saw the DVD. This is now one of my favorate movie's! The action in the movie was suprisingly good!! And the race's were even better!! The plot was pretty good, and I dig the ending. Overall a great film to watch 4/5!!

I'm most often a very harsh critic, especially on plot, but when I stood up from the movie, I was absolutely stunned. I had never seen the cartoon; I had barely even heard of it. Yet the movie had a perfect mix of quick, witty, entertaining scenes, and a strong overall plot that pulls together very well. Add that to the amazingly well crafted effects during the intense racing scenes, and you have a phenomenal film.
