3.0 out of 5 stars Get the WORLD RACE first!, May 31, 2008

This review is from: Hot Wheels Acceleracers Boxed Set (Ignition / The Speed of Silence / Breaking Point / The Ultimate Race) (DVD)

Our son LOVES Hot Wheels. We rented the World Race movie for him when he was 3. We all watched it. At first I was concerned about the message it might be sending (I think someone else refered to Vert as a spoiled military brat), but afterwards, I was very pleased. I also liked the 'safety' aspects of the movie (always buckle up, wear a helmet, and the importance of working as a team, etc.).
We couldn't wait until the other movies made it to the shelves. We immediately decided that the World Race was a movie we were going to have to buy or constantly be renting it.
The Acceleracer movies (1-4 + the World Race for a total of 5 movies), although good, are not as good as the first one, especially for the audience age range that will be seeing it. I don't like the change in the presentation. It's too dark (scenes and characters). Some of the voices changed as well. The 1st Acceleracer movie has a character who's brother died in a race. They never really go into it far enough for a young child to understand and it didn't need to be in there. Plus, you also have the dark almost evil side of Mark Wilde. It is over the top compared to his character in the World Race. The only saving grace about the Acceleracer movies was that our son was older by the time they came out. So, I could help explain the problems to him better.
Plus, the Acceleracer movies seemed more like product placement as a way to push merchandise. If the movie were better and age appropriate, sale of the age propriate merchadise would follow, b/c kids just love it.
I can't help but feel that the World Race did well in sales and thus the other movies followed, but Hot Wheels did a dis-service with the Acceleracer movies by forgetting the age of their viewers. Even the songs in the World Race were better.
All that said, all the movies are good. The World Race is, by far, the best. Our son is 7 1/2 now and STILL asks to watch it.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 4 year old Hot Wheels car junkie loves these., August 8, 2007

We are pacing him on these, to get more gift bang-for-the-buck. He loves the first movie, and as you can imagine we've seen it bunches of times. For an adult, it's kinda thin on plot, but there is one. For a little boy that wants to see cars go fast, and likes a good-guy/bad-guy story, it's the bomb!

This review is from: Hot Wheels Acceleracers Boxed Set (Ignition / The Speed of Silence / Breaking Point / The Ultimate Race) (DVD)

My son (now 7) loves these movies. We could only find the first 2 at our movie store so we got this for him for Christmas and I can't tell you how many times he's watched them. We can't wait for the next one because of the surprise at the end of movie #4. Good, consistent plot throughtout that's not hard to follow. Somehow these drivers morphed into muscle-bound somewhat unrealistic looking people from the initial movie -- World Race. Not sure what the purpose behind that is . . . doesn't make it bad but just different if you expect them to look like they did in World Race. A few of these get into a little more unfriendly competition, but again nothing really bad. Overall fun movies for kids that love Hot Wheels cars! And even enjoyable for the grownups as well.
