Box-Box Office Hit - F1 review by griggs
I’ll admit, I was hesitant going in—how could a 60-year-old pass as a Formula 1 driver? Yet it works. F1: The Movie is proper summer-blockbuster fare: sleek, entertaining, and surprisingly heartfelt. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), it brings some of that aerial flair to the track with roaring engines, punchy montages, and big-screen spectacle. It’s a classic Bruckheimer production: polished, predictable, but never dull. Structurally, it shares DNA with Ted Lasso—underdog grit, team chemistry, personal redemption. No major twists, and that’s fine. Hans Zimmer’s score does precisely what you expect, punctuating every hairpin turn and emotional beat with turbocharged gravitas. The cast is solid, and while the plot doesn’t break new ground, the film knows exactly what it is and delivers with confidence. It’s great fun, full throttle, even if it isn’t one for the ages.

Formulaic ! - F1 review by KB
Brad Pitt can't save this dud. You would think that it would be difficult to make a film about Formula 1 & it not be exciting but i found large sections of this film tedious. Bardem & the Irish lady are quite suited to their roles but overall the story & script is far fetched & flimsy & i found myself not rooting for the drivers/team at the finale .It just comes across as a promotional vehicle for the sport. Similar type films "Rush" & "Le Mans 66" i found more entertaining & more emotionally involving.
