I gave a seven star more so because it is based on a true story, that alone touched me. Otherwise, it would be 5-6 movie. Pegasus tried to send a simple message about chasing your dreams. It also celebrated the life of a professional racer. It was fast paced, with more jokes in the first half while tensing up for the second half.
I somehow hope they did not work so "hard" to make it funny, in other words, a comedy. I feel were it a regular drama, which it had enough materials for, I would have liked it more. The acting is somewhat missing too. The big shot competitor pretty much had no emotions or expressions. I can't say the other characters were bland, but they did not strike me, which I kind of expect given the story line.
Overall a good story that could have been told better....

Ok, I commit I laughed many times during the movies. However, I have higher expectation of Teng Shen! He is the Chaplin of China, he should be give me something more than this movie! In other hand, Han Han should improve his tale and directing. Generally speaking, I think it is overrated.
Pegasus is a well-produced and accessible comedy that plays it safe but wins with charm and sincerity. While the story of a disgraced racer seeking redemption follows a familiar arc, the film keeps things engaging with strong performances, upbeat pacing, and a touch of visual flair. There's nothing groundbreaking here, but it doesn't try to be. What it does offer is a light, polished ride with enough humor and heart to make the journey worthwhile. It's the kind of film that doesn't surprise, but leaves you smiling. A modest yet satisfying effort that knows exactly what it wants to be and delivers on it.
As a sport movie, the racing sequences in this Pegasus are ways worse than those in Ron Howard's Rush. But at the very least, this is more like a film, with convincing plot and editing, compared to Han Han's first two pieces. Han Han takes a scattershot approach on a very cliched subject. Surprisingly, he hits some of his targets and avoids the typical pitfalls. Shen Teng has the magic of turning every film into Shen Teng-esque, and here he does it again.
There are 1462 curves in Bayanbulak track, 109km, you can win 100m by playing tricks, but you cannot win 100km, you ask me about the unique skill, the answer is being DEVOTED, to devote your whole body to what you love, I practiced 20 times in my brain, 5 years, 36 thousand times, I can remember every curve.
The famous writer, racing driver and director Han Han was influenced by the best driver Lang Xu, who was dead in a racing,this movie is a salute to him, heroes never die. A comedy movie with lots of personal emotions, but that's the Han Han I like, be devoted to what he love and keep pursuing for dream. Forever young!
