Boring

First Man
I will not comment on the lack of "flag waving". That is not my major complaint of concern.
The problem with this movie: IT IS BORING. Yes, boring.
In addition, how can this be a portrayal of heroism? His wife despised him. This movie portrays a weak man, neglectful of his wife and children.
Compared it to The Right Stuff and Apollo 13 - where real heroes were strong. Both the men and women in those pictures showed strong people doing incredible things. The wives portrayed in Tom Hank's Apollo 13 and The Right Studff were emotionally and physically their husband's equal - or better. Claire Foy is a superb actress; she was cast to play a complaining victim.
Modern hollywood continues to mock reals virtues. What is the reward - anemic returns in the box office.
Please make a movie again about real people. Not this made up nonsense. The real Neal Armstrong was a hero, not this nonsense.
