I Don't get It

Rating: 6/10 (2 July 2015)

The merciless 1970s rivalry between Formula One rivals James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda.
This film has spent the last few years on the IMDb Top 250. And I have no idea why. The characters are not deep, the cinematography is muted and not all that enjoyable. The plot is basically just two men who want to beat the other in a race. This is nothing all that innovative. Ron Howard has been involved in this sort of film since 1976's "Eat My Dust" (which is more enjoyable).
Clearly there is something I am missing, but this has to rank up there with all those Indian movies for the most over-rated on IMDb. And, when you are talking about IMDb, most of it is over-rated.
