Ten clues that Speed Racer is a historically and critically significant film, all taken from overwhelmingly negative reviews by Chris A

• 1
  "Manic and multicolored, Speed Racer is an excess of nothingness. "
  
• 2
  "Borderline-experimental in the way it challenges the limits of perception. It's forward-thinking, visionary, and much of the time unwatchable."
  
• 3
  "the trippiest stonerfest since Stanley Kubrick took his space odyssey"
  
• 4
  "fakeness of it all overwhelms"
  
• 5
  "a Warholian blur of pop art"
  
• 6
  "The state of mind brought on by Speed Racer the movie is more akin to that phenomenon by which young infants, exposed to more stimuli than their systems are equipped to handle, will simply shut down."
  
• 7
  "like a nightmare in which you're trapped in an arcade with screens on all sides and no eyelids"
  
• 8
  "It's a family film done as a trip film"
  
• 9
  "the esthetic equivalent of needles in eyeballs"
  
• 10
  "gaudy as a transvestites convention and soullessly cute as a robot puppy"
