Review: 'Ernest & Celestine' a Delicate Delight

Movie Review: Need for Speed (2014)

Written by Anthony Sargon

Video game adaptations have historically been pretty bad. With atrocities like “Super Mario Bros.”, The “Resident Evil” franchise, and more mediocre fare like “The Prince of Persia”, studios just never seem to get them right. “Need for Speed” is actually in a unique position to succeed. It gives director Scott Waugh the opportunity to create something without having to worry about crafting a faithful adaptation. At the end of the day, as long as the movie has fast cars and street racing, it’s as faithful as it’s going to get. With the only other street racing franchise being the “Fast & Furious” flicks, there’s certainly room for “Need for Speed” to become a successful property. But enough of my rambling; how did the film actually turn out? Honestly, it was surprisingly decent.
