F1: Le film

Reviews harping on about the story miss the point. Embrace the corn and enjoy yourself.

The action is good, although unbelievable it's clear the team cared about F1 and did their best to make it exciting to watch. I personally love how corny the whole thing is, it helps you turn off and enjoy the ride. Brad Pitt plays his classic cool guy persona, the supporting crew is entertaining the nods to the real F1 drivers and team directors are nice but not overplayed.

They did a phenomenal job with the practical effects and racing scenes. Honestly if you go to a racing move what else do you want. If you want everything to be realistic go watch a documentary.

It's sort of fun,Brad pitt is his usual charismatic self, Damon iris is solid in support, kerry condon is always great and a very underated actress, but to.be honest if you are a fan of actual formula one the story is beyond ridiculous, not one part of it makes any sense, its all style and not much substance, the dialogue is very cheesy, nothing is in anyway surprising as a blind man could see what was going to happen All in all its a well shot film, the racing sequences are great, but again if you've ever watched actual formula 1, they are beyond ridiculous, the real team heads that are used for cameos are especially poor, its mildly entertaining but ultimately pretty forgettable.

I usually enjoy Brad Pitt movies but he was definitely flat in this one and didn't bring much to his character. The whole story was very lazy and nowhere close to racing movies such as Rush and Ford vs Ferrari. It had the bones to be good but everything was flat with silly storylines like Sonny basically driving illegally and the thin story of combat can beat speed on the race track, not going to happen but it helped the storyline so let's just bend reality and let Pitt smirk his way to a win. Too bad but it has decent moments, just not enough!

The way the movie was shot is magnificent. Brad Pitt is magnificent too. The problem is racing. The whole movie is like superb until they start racing. The endurance race at the beginning, the way Sonny is convinced to join to the APX team, the first test and the rivalry between the two drivers are all very well made. Unfortunately when they actively start to race the movie falls apart. Sonny constantly makes moves that you couldn't have ever seen ever from any driver before. Not to mention the car upgrades. One single update makes the worst car on the grid capable of winning. TBH if you follow F1 you simply can't enjoy this dumb portrayal of the sport. Once again Pitt still rocks 🔥

Visually en auditory the race sequences are absolutely stunning, but the story, the plot and dialogue in general are just horrible and generic.

It makes F1 look like an absolute joke, like just anyone can drive these cars. This supposedly 60 y/o guy can still beat these young athletes who have trained their whole lives for this sport. It just deminishes their accomplishments and hard work.

Also, he can just break every rule when it comes to racing and get away with it. It makes F1 look like a clown show. Weird that f1 approved this.

The only thing I liked were the racing and some funny F1 references. Although, the racing strategies were just utterly bizarre, it was still a decent watch.

Disgraceful to the sport, wouldn't recommend if you're not into motorsport.
