Speed Racer (2008)

   Even most critics panned it, but that's just because they are deluded.

As a youngster I was impressed about its tasteful rendition of its Japanese source,

among other things; back in the day most western transpositions of Asian art were 

superfluous and hackneyed (probably still are, I don't know).

   Nowadays I am positive about the script, discussions about unethical and predatory 

corporations and the way they handle competition, are scant at best in popular media.

I'd argue it's on par with The Matrix (1998).
