Saw one trailer that made it look really good. Saw another that made it look like "Days of Our Lives" with racing. I fear the Ron Howard effect will likely ruin it.

The Swedish TV commentator for F1 claims it is a really good movie. He is a former racing driver and as far as he can judge it looks to be the real deal. Looking forward to it.

Saw the trailer recently and it looks and sounds pretty good. Hope it doesn't turn out like Driven or Days of Thunder. If it is half as good as Grand Prix with James Garner it should be a hit.

No movie will ever replace "Le Mans" as the greatest (ultimate) movie. The reason is no movie will ever again be directed by an actor/racer who has no regard for the budget. Get it right at any cost is just not going to happen.

Buzz is that this is in fact a very good racing movie.

Let's see if Opie can redeem himself for some of the dreck he's produced in the past.

Why not; they jumped them at tracks like the Nurburgring, back in the actual races...

Here's hoping the CGI crap is held to a minimum.

David Hobbs and that other guy that co-hosts the F1 broadcasts on NBCSN both gave it a very positive review. That's good enough for me.

I agree. Seriously, how could an oscar winning director not ruin a film?

Indeed, that is a good sign.

Gran Prix is a close second, imo. Only because of the pcar content.

It also was ruined by the same love-story filler.

While a documentary "Fastest" is a very good racing movie.
