Really Surprised!

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Ron Howard is an amazing director. While he has had his ups (A Beautiful Mind, Frost/Nixon) and downs (The Dilemma, Inferno), he generally has made consistent in being a top notch director. Even his most recent film, Solo: A Star Wars Story, while not the best Star Wars movie, was fun and exciting. Here he is with stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Daniel Bruhl (Captain America: Civil War) in a true story about legendary Formula 1 racers James Hunt (Hemsworth), who is a playboy, and Niki Lauda (Bruhl), who is methodical and brilliant.Both actors are at the top of their game here. Hemsworth proves that he is more than just a man with a hammer, thunderbolts and lightning (although I do love Thor); he is charming, captivating and charismatic. In this movie, the ladies love him and he loves the ladies. He gives life to what could of been a one-note character. But it is Bruhl who steals the show in his Golden Globe-nominated performance as Niki Lauda. In my opinion, Bruhl should've also been nominated for the Oscar in the same category. He gives the performance of his career here, way better than his performance in Captain America: Civil War. You care about his character; as a matter of fact, I found myself cheering for both drivers. That's the mark of a good movie for me about rivals; when you find yourself fascinated by both sides of the spectrum, you know something was done right. And something was definitely done right here.All in all, an amazing piece of work that is capped off by stunning direction and brilliant performances by the two leads. Why this wasn't even considered for Best Picture at the Oscars, I will never know.

This is a great movie based on a real history, one of the greatest and most memmorable formula 1 sesons and rivalries. The movie has a great focus on both drivers different personalities and does a good job exploring their relationship from the begging of their carrers. I reccomend it, even if youre not a big formula 1 entusiast you will be suprised how well the movie turned out to be, and who knows you may get interested on formula 1 and start watch it.

Haven't watched many a sports movie, but this has to be right at the top. An incredible thing about great movies is that a 10-minute viewing tells you how good they are, and either forces you to sit through it, or you make a point of not missing it later. The real-life rivalry between these two Formula 1 champs, is captured with absolute finesse, a hell of a ride with intense rivalry, emotions, tragedies, struggles, and ultimate respect to end with, between these two diametrically opposite sports personalities and their lives, with a perfect look-alike cast. I simply loved it, 8/10.

I usually don't watch movies about cars because I find them to be quite boring. "Rush" however surprised me with its execution. It was a very well done drama movie. Yes, the movie is about Formula One cars but the main focus is put on the interpersonal relationships. The clever and authentic depictions of both protagonists are ultimately what make this movie great. It's not just another movie about racing cars. After all, this movie is based on real events which makes the movie even more interesting. I knew that of course because when I was a child Niki Lauda was a total superstar here in Germany. The rivalry between Niki Lauda and James Hunt is a legendary tale of competitiveness and recklessness. Very action-packed and insightful. Daniel Brühl's and Chris Hemsworth's performances were really strong by the way.
