A very bland biopic, sanitised in the extreme, and how remi malek was even nominated for an Oscar let alone actually won it is beyond me, he basically stuck in a pair of false teeth and mimed and minced his way through it, the end sequence, which is basically the live aid set was well done, but again it was just him in silly teeth miming, many others have done far better biopics of musical artists and have actually sung the songs, marisa abela, timothee chalomet, monica barbero, reece witherspoon, joachim phoenix, taron egerton and Jamie fox to name a few. All in all a lazy film with a lazy performance from malek, worst best actor winner in years, Bradley cooper would have been far more worthy he actually sang in a star is born.

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.

The whole thing was a mess from start to finish, tried to be a comedy I think but I hardly laughed at any of the jokes, the villain was dull and awfully overacted by Christian bale, this is one of those marvel movies that never really did anything to move the marvel universe forward and personally think it was an utter waste of time.
