World's Slowest Movie

Rating: 3/10 (1 July 2006)

I was really wanted to see this movie since I've been a motorcycle enthusiast since I was 8. The trailer made it look exciting and inspiring. What a letdown. Boring, slow, and way too long (2 hours). I'm not sure how much of the story was real, but the befriending of the transvestite seemed way over the top and tacked on. And aside from Hopkins, the acting was horrible...almost too painful to watch at times. I don't know whether to blame the supporting cast or the screenplay, but it was BAD (it's funny how you don't really notice good acting...only bad acting).
The scenes at Bonneville at the end of the movie are the only redeeming factor in this movie, but not worth sitting through the first hour and a half.
