I loved this. It was a film I was looking forward to but was worried it might have been boring, but Ron Howard got it perfect. It had just the right amount of intelligence, excitment and humour to keep the story interesting.

Loved this. 2 hours flew by at 180mph! Gripping film and great to see Hemsworth in a good role. Being born in early eighties I wasn't too aware of the history but think it made it even more compelling. Going to be recommending it to friends.
First time I've been to Odeon Covent Garden. Wasn't that impressed with the screen we we in. Bit of a weird shapebut sound was good.

The sound at Westfield Stratford was incredible! Loud, vibrant, crystal clear. Of course, it was helped immensely by Hans Zimmer's exhilarating score.

hah that screen 4 to the right when you walk in. The slice of pie shape room.

Glad the movie is great, we deserve good motorsports movies.

Oh my word that was a fantastic film. The racing scenes were great and Helmsworth and Brühl had great chemistry. Got to be a candidate for film of the year.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I thought the film was a bit in favour towards James Hunt though which I didn't like as he was basically an arrogant playboy [spoiler]who in my mind only won the championship because of Niki Lauda's accident, which he part caused by refusing to cancel the race, and Niki Lauda's incredibly courageous decision in the last race. Lauda finally listened to what his instinct had been telling him all along and acted accordingly, even though it meant losing the race.[/spoiler]I have huge respect for Niki Lauda who made a comeback and won many more titles, whereas James Hunt vanished into obscurity. And I have to say that the formidable Daniel Bruehl was simply sensational as Niki Lauda. He looked so much like him, and he got the Austrian accent down to a tee.

Outstanding.

9/10
