[Closed] The new Ron Howard film 'Rush' is amazing (possible spoilers)

We went to the flicks on Sunday and couldn't decide on Rush or Whitehouse Down. Having seen trailers for both we decided that Whitehouse Down would be slightly more believable.

Really?!? So cynical! 😉

Spoilers? Were you also suprised when Titanic sank?

Haha fair point! Although I to be fair I went to watch this film without knowing the result of the 1976 season, so it's only reasonable that everybody else gets the same chance!

Is it as sad and unexpected as the end of Senna? 😉

We're off to see it tomorrow night. It looks brill!

Front or rear spoilers? 🙂

Actually a great film - had the privilege or chatting with one of the Producers the other day who mentioned the extreme lengths they went to to get the film "correct" for all the petrol heads. The casting is spot on too!! See it at a cinema would be my recommendation - enjoy

yeah but do they encore with Spirit of the Radio

I'll exit stage left - boom boom

Haha! 😀

Boys trip out on Friday to see it, looking forward to it. Not reading this thread 😆

Saw it - overdramatised, polarised view of the two main protagonists. Racing sequences were great for the vintage ambience, but rubbish in terms of showing any sort of impression of speed, skill or commitment from the drivers. Overall I probably enjoyed the BBC's Hunt/Lauda documentary more.

EDIT - fun playing 'spot the driver' in the Nurburgring briefing scene though.

Yeah I thought the documentary was better but despite the 'hollywood' treatment its not a bad film at all

I thought it was very good, probably the cinematic highlight of my year so far. I'd happily sit through it again.

I've (briefly) met Niki Lauda and yes, he does resemble a (slightly singed) rat.

Great film, loved it.

I think it would be hard to do better than watching the 70s seasons at the time (unless he changed the ending of course).
