Speed Racer (near the top in quality at least)

Of the three big summer movies I've seen so far, I'd rank their quality as follows:

1. Iron Man
2. Speed Racer
3. Indy 4

And it's pretty much a tie between those top two. Yeah, that's right. I enjoyed Speed Racer aka "the blockbuster no one's seeing" as much as Iron Man. The anime adaptation is dazzling aside from some odd choices to rough the content up to PG level instead of G. The entire cast works well for me with a fun plot actually tackled with some depth for an all ages film. Racing will never be as entertaining in reality as what this movie offers either. Forget watching drivers turn left for hours, because nothing compares to Speed and Racer X using jump jacks and screaming through the gorgeous tracks full of loops, jumps and drops.

As for Indy, it's too soon for spoilers but Indiana Jones 4 sadly left a lot to be desired from a franchise of that level. The cast all did a fine job with a script that didn't give them nearly enough to do. Not enough fights (barely any use of Indy's weapons either), a close to infamous Tarzan sequence for Shia LaBeouf, Mummy style insect scenes and especially a lame sci-fi quest all bring the film down. There is some very good fun to be had here, but the missed opportunity overshadows it. An Indiana Jones film can be much more than what we got.
