Strange thing that right after seeing Speed Racer I get to watch Sky Captain, because those 2 movies in common that they create their respective worlds via CGI.
And despite the fact that Sky Captain is 4 years older, it doesn't show.
It's a sort of revival of the old 50's serials, with the brave hero, the slighly dumb blonde love interest and the german sounding villain that wants to destroy the world.
And all for the best!
It's well acted, it's fun, takes you to various exotic places and displays a wild imagery of retro-sci-fi.
Most of the movie is in sorts of sepia, faded colors and looks beautiful.
Between the action set pieces, you get you enjoy the romantic cat & mouse game of the 2 leads (Jude Law & Gwyneth Paltrow) which have a good chemistry and witty dialogs so it's always entertaining & fun.
It's also good to see a story that takes its time given the hectic pace of all actionners nowadays. You have time to enjoy the pictures (and the rest)...
It would be a shame not to.
