We also watched it last night and am in line with just about everyone. It was pretty bland as far as plot goes, generic, but visuals were great. Makes me regret not seeing it on a huge screen. Also kind of dumb that every race was like “ohh intense, we’re gonna do it!” Crash. Next race “oh we got a new strat.” crash. It felt like an internet meme of just their cars crashing every time. At least the other drivers made comments about it.

Pretty sure TC crashed that due to how shit his movie was. F1 was awesome , Mission Impossible to troupe to believe #400 was awful.

I mean, you just described Lance Strolls entire career, so there's at least some truth there.

I finally got around to watching it. Good action and sound (except for some music choices that made me mute for a bit). Not very realistic, but dramatic, and no worse than drive to survive.
All the racing related stuff was kinda silly. Surprised they allowed all the cheaty tactics stuff.
Some of the crashes looked real but the one that turned into an airplane reminded me of B movies from the 70's where they would just throw a doll in the air.
Probably a 4 star compared to recent movies (not that I've watched many), and a 2 compared to back when movies didn't suck.

It wasn't even close to garbage. Yeah, there was a black dude, but he was such a minor character. It's a story about Brad Pitt.

How mad did it make you that the black dude was basically smoking all the whites for 6 straight years?

I wouldn't know. Never watched F1 racing. But he sounds better than the token black guy in Nascar who stinks.

This movie was awesome. It's a classic sports movie told through the lens of F1 racing. I mean, we had the talk about liking bad things and that's ok but knowing they are bad; I guess now we need to have that flip side conversation about just because you dislike something doesn't make it objectively bad.
Telling crowd pleasing archetypical stories doesn't make them "zzzzz"; there are only 5/8/9 story types (depending on which metric you use) and we have been telling the same stories for all of human history. If you want something "new" or "fresh", well you are fucking out of luck; we have just been changing out the set dressings since we acquired language and telling them around camp fires and started putting them on cave walls.
