Honest to god one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. The racing was very good but it's like the dialogue scenes were written by an 8th grader and edited by a marketing firm.
Brad Pitt is just a fucking asshole the entire time, and does not develop as a racer or a character at all. In fact, he was the closest thing the movie had to an antagonist. I really could not stand how he fucked with the races to such an extent to bring out hazard flags constantly, it felt like he was basically cheating.
Also where's the rival team racer(s)? All they do is splooge each other with champagne. They were pimping out that they had real life F1 racers in the marketing but it's all fluff.

>>212231100 (OP)
Is the black guy the main star?

>>212231316
Yeah he's Brad Pitt's teammate. He was ok I guess, it's hard to gauge his performance because the material he was given was such absolute tripe. Basically him and Brad Pitt are egotistical assholes to each other for the entire movie, but then towards the end Brad Pitt tells him he is good at racing and then boom he's winning now.

>>212231426
Brad probably leaning into the asshoke person angelina painted him as. Probably intentional

/tv/ only recognizes one driver

>>212231316
no but he has a substantial role and if you're really racist it'll hurt the movie for you

>>212231100 (OP)
>where's the rival team racer(s)
Produced by Hamilton and is closely watched by FOM. Its as corporate as corporate can get.

>>212231100 (OP)
>They were pimping out that they had real life F1 racers in the marketing but it's all fluff
I definitely saw Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton at the very least. It was kind of silly that Hamilton was the final boss considering Verstappen has been the Michael Jordan of F1 for the last few years, but I know Hamilton was a producer on the movie so that'd probably be why

>>212233042
nah, brad can actually kind of act, goose just stares vacantly like a retard in every role

>>212234822
none of the F1 racers had any spoken lines and only exist so fan faggots can basedface at them. The incredible irony is that they explicitly call out Drive to Survive in the movie, but then that's exactly what the fucking movie is in the end.

>>212234888
I would counter but I have checked your digits and honor dictates that I must concede

>>212235005
No please by all means, I have only passing interest in racing so I might be totally wrong or missing context

CAR GOES VROOOM!!

>>212235051
I actually didn't have a counter, and I went into this movie pretty blind other than having watched F1 the last few years and I like Brad Pitt. I don't know if it was hyped that F1 racers would have actual speaking roles or what the story is there, but I imagine that would have made the movie suck because they wouldn't be good actors. For what it was I thought it was a solid 7 or 8/10. Very basic by the numbers story but the direction of the racing scenes were fun and the sound design was awesome. The story is extremely basic but it exceeded on all the technical aspects imo, I had a fun time in the theater.

>>212235389
yeah I'm glad I saw it in theater, cool experience for the racing

>Brad Pitt is just a fucking asshole the entire time, and does not develop as a racer or a character at all.

This was what kind of confused me because at first he's a selfish asshole about the race and you figure that's going to be his arc and then at like the 20 minute mark the love interest Scottish lady is like "be a team player" and then for the rest of the movie he's just a perfect team captain with no further development. Him sacrificing himself to let the black dude take the lead feels like it should be some pivotal payoff moment but instead it's more or less what he was doing for most of the movie when he was being a track terrorist.

>>212235786
the movie lost me when joshua pearce got fucking exploded for driving too aggressive, and then the next scene brad pitt is like FUCK PLAN C. C STANDS FOR COMBAT DRIVING and the team, including the guy who just exploded, was totally ok with this

>>212231100 (OP)
So you’d rather it just bet the cliche route where he was a Gary Stu and is immediately good after not doing F1 for 30 years and is too old for the sport? He’s doing what all old vets do. Veterans boxers do that shit all the time. Use tricks. Pretend got a below the belt shot so can get time to rest.

for me it was the fact their team had not one but two major crashes which resulted in hospitalization in a single year

>>212236234
no I'd rather there be a character to develop

>>212236234
>So you’d rather it just bet the cliche route where he was a Gary Stu and is immediately good after not doing F1 for 30 years and is too old for the sport?
NTA but that wouldve been better, yea, its exactly how top gun maverick did it and that was a much better film than this

>>212231100 (OP)
I LIVE FOR THIS SHIT!

>>212236977
that's fine it's a movie

>>212236977
He didn't fly so good

>>212236977
was it counter-steering?

>>212235877
It was also weird since I thought that would be another character defining moment for Pitt to maybe reevaluate how reckless he is but then it's revealed it was actually just the black drivers fault for fucking up and he takes all the blame and so Pitt gets off completely blameless.

>>212231100 (OP)
>Brad Pitt looked disgusting, nipples protruding, in his white racing shirt on the cover of the F1 poster today. Very, very disrespectful.

>>212236872
There you go man. This obviously wasn’t for you

>>212236824
People dont change

>>212237196
it's a movie

>>212237122
The track was wet, he wasn't on wet tires and he ignored brad pitt's advice

>>212237130
It was his fault. You listen to vet. Vets know the tricks because they have to. What they rely on when their skills deteriorate

>>212231100 (OP)
>and does not develop as a racer or a character at all
That's not true. He redesigned the shitbox car, turned the hotshot rookie into a contender, and sort of didn't completely disappear without a trace after winning like he always does.
>I really could not stand how he fucked with the races to such an extent to bring out hazard flags constantly, it felt like he was basically cheating.
Europeans are faggots, they deserved it.
>Also where's the rival team racer(s)? All they do is splooge each other with champagne.
Europeans are faggots, they do this irl.

>>212237236
I know it was the black dude's fault I'm saying I thought it would make more sense if it was Pitt's fault so he had a moment of character growth but instead he's entirely blameless.

>>212237143
lmao

>>212231100 (OP)
“CAR GO FAST VROOM” is so painfully boring.

>>212234822
Verstappen hates being part of shit like this is probably why

>>212234822
Hamilton was a producer on the film.

>>212237629
Blameless? Dude got turned into a human pretzel because of his recklessness.

mfw he flies now

>>212238547
He followed Sonny's instructions in the simulator and won the race. White man marches on.

>>212238702
It’s obvious in the movie Sony does not care above his safety and wants to die racing. He didn’t want the kid to reckless shit and jeopardize his career and why he had him play it safe while he took the hits

>>212238815
It wasn't a reckless maneuver, the kid just fucked it up because his

that was a close one

>>212236977
at my theater someone loudly shouted AW MAN at this scene and ruined all tension

>>212231100 (OP)
They should've just remade Le Mans but f1, with like two or three actual dialogue scenes. Instead of telling women they suck compared to cars it could be all about how that buck will broken by the white mans sport

>>212239057
I had to suppress a chuckle at that line in the theater but I'm pretty sure they knew what they were doing

>>212240133
I laffed but thankfully the rest of the audience was zoomers doomscrolling their various slopfeeds and didn't notice.

LMAO what kind of deep profound thoughts would you expect from a bunch of man children driving cars?
