Sadly Over-hyped

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I grew up watching this and only this. Well, also Spongebob but that's not the point. The show takes place after the events of The World Race where the racers have split into two rival gangs; the Teku and the Metal Maniacs. Their rivalry stems from the two leaders' resentment for each other after the supposed murder of the former Teku leader. They are interrupted by GIG, the robotic assistant to Dr. Tezla, the man in charge of the acceledrome. The gangs head to the acceledrome and find out that races are still taking place through other dimensions, and being won by the main antagonizing force, the Racing Drones.In the first race, a storm themed realm, they lose Kadeem, a returning character from World Race.In the second world, a swamp realm, Nolo, the Teku leader wins, earning an accelecharger; a device that csn give a drivers car special abilities.The episode ends, leaving a cliffhanger for the next episode.All in all, for a kid's series, the show has a rather mature theme, making it so that parents might enjoy it with their kids instead of feeling forced to watch in unwillingly. It has great action, interesting characters, and a surprisingly decent plot. On a final note, the Teku have cooler cars.

I watched the first episode back in 2005 and I was just a kid back then.Now I'm 16 years old, and feeling out of nostalgia I decided to find the movie and watched it again.Ignition has a few problems but it has actually aged well with a huge fan-base backing Acceleracers, the World Race was all kid-friendly but Acceleracers has a gritty tone that attracts adults even if it was only made for children. Taking place two years into the future, The World Race drivers have resorted to joining gangs to continue their passion for racing. Two of these gangs is the Teku and the Metal Manics.There's a murder plot in the beginning with Nolo trying to ram Tork off the railing for revenge for the death of his brother Tone that Tork supposedly committed but Wild intervenes due to an ego he has, this results in Nolo's and Tork's cars crashing but Wild almost runs over Gig and crashes his car. The other former World Race leaders (winch they are split up in the two gangs) check to see they are OK. They speak to Gig who tells them that Dr. Tesla needs their help to fight the drones again but the drivers are dismayed because they didn't get what they asked for in World Race. Gig persuades them and they eventually accept. And a journey begins when Kadeem (a world race driver) goes missing in a race with Tesla appearing to hide something that brings a new threat to the table.This film has a great soundtrack it really brings some good tension in some scenes.Cons: There's usually an attempt at humour in the series with the character "Monkey" but it just looks unidiomatic due to having no style nor appetite. To be honest it's weird and distracting.
