Saw it yesterday. Liked it, though I felt it was more about the personalities and their stories than the driving. Four stars out of five.

I liked it. Better than I anticipated based on the trailers. The trailers made it look super cheesy/fake.

Saw it last nite with my wife and son. I thought it was a very well told story of a great year in F1 lore. The relationship between Hunt and Lauda was remarkable. I think car/F1 junkies will really enjoy and appreciate the movie. But not sure it will be able to draw in the general public (sadly....there were only about 10 of us in the entire theater, though we all did applaud at the end). I plan to add the DVD to my library when it's available.

I also enjoyed the articles in Autoweek prior to the release. Interesting how Ron Howard almost wasn't involved.

Saw it tonight after a 2 month tease of trailers on the boat. Great movie. Only 4 people in the theater which was kinda nice.

Saw it over the weekend and loved it. I thought the story was excellently told. A bit dismayed early on by a relative lack of racing footage but the end of the movie made up for that well. I will be seeing it again.

Saw it tonight with my wife. Really well done, well cast, and avoided the obvious chances for gratuitous everything. The medical scenes were a bit gut wrenching but that is the story. Tina, who has only been following F1 since we got married two years ago, said, "Lauda reminds me of Kimi!". Sad that he reminds me of Lauda! Saw him race in Montreal in the early eighties. It was neat to see the old cars and the names of the drivers bringing back old memories of good times. Very enjoyable.

Mrs B and I saw it over the weekend. Enjoyed but just like Senna these movies keep adding seconds to my lap times.
