I saw it over the weekend and thought it was just OK. Hats off to the actor who played Lauda...he had the look down pat! I felt that the racing scenes were too chopped up with rapid-fire cuts, and the scenes of Lauda being treated for his burns were unnecessarily graphic and went on too long. I'll have to say that I did enjoy the action in the film's last 15 or 20 minutes though.
I have a hard time believing that anyone not having at least a passing interest in motor sports will like this movie. After all, how many people here in the US even know who Lauda and Hunt are/were...or care?
One last comment: I thought the racing scenes in both Grand Prix and LeMans were at least an order of magnitude better than in this film.
