You can't compare it to newer Marvel movies that go crazy with color because that's not the only thing that defines the visual quality of a film. That might be intentional given the source material or might be due to budget constraints or both, but I think the majority of the audience doesn't like it. Sure, it's colorful and it certainly embraces its origins. Remember, 2008 was the year Iron Man came out, so it could even be argued it was just too far ahead of its time. Taking that into consideration, it really makes you wonder how this movie would do if it had been released today, where similar pulpy action movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe make billions relying on a lot of colorful computer graphics and family-friendly character arcs. It is a very different animal from the Matrix trilogy, or any of the the Wachowskis’ later work. If you take a look at contemporary reviews of Speed Racer, both critics and audiences weren’t exactly onboard with its oversaturated style and simple, overly earnest family-oriented storyline.
