    All things considered, an ok adaption of this excellent Manga and Anime series. Encapsulates most of the entire first series, with only minor ommissions. The music-video style editing gets in the way at times, but the driving sequences, featuring real D1 drivers, are fairly well executed.

    I humbly admire this attempt to remake such a wonderful series. I feel that it did not quite stay true to the original series, example; where the HECK is Cole?

    What a great real life version, if you've ever seen any of the cartoons. For those who haven't, the driving in this movie definitely gives an interesting glimpse into what mountainous racing may be like.

    Slick though featherweight adolescent melodrama.

    As a matter of fact, Initial D is an anti-car racing film. It's not about thrills; it's about how to perfect the art of drifting, philosophy, and how to transcend the human condition.

    A slick but silly affair unlikely to appeal to anyone over the age of 15.
