I didn't really like it

Rating: 3/10 (5 August 2014)

The scenes with Nikki Lauda in are absolutely excellent, just about everyone else seemed either entirely unbelievable or so one-dimensional that you didn't care who they were playing anyway. Even the driving scenes seemed unbelievable to me particularly the long shots down every start/finish straight - for some reason they all looked completely unreal and that is on my tiny telly, goodness knows what they looked like on the big screen. I had little idea what was going on. Someone crashes "who is that?" asks my Mrs, "I've no idea" I say. Oh, and one other thing that drove me to distraction was the totally invasive and somewhat condescending 'commentary' on every race - ugh! This is (another) of those films I am heartily glad I didn't part with any money to see. I don't know who would have done a better James Hunt but there must have been someone??? 10/10 for Nikki, 0/10 for everything else (Except the six-wheeler Tyrell - I loved seeing that!) Previous posters say "See the film 'Grand Prix' instead," I agree, anyone want the DVD, only played once?
