Mike's Review: Going into this movie I knew it was based on a true story, I just didn't know the true story was going to be more built-up then it seemed like it actually was. When I compare this movie to other racing movies like 'Days of Thunder' (1990) or even the animated film 'Cars' (2006) there seemed to be a better back story and more heart to those back stories in these movies compared to that of the boring rivalry in 'Rush'.
In 'Rush' the rivalry seemed like an after thought that they decided to build the whole movie around, when it just didn't seem like there was much of a rivalry to begin with. As for the 70's timeline and attention to detail in the racing world Ron Howard did a very realistic job of taking you back to that time, and the actors sold their performances as well, its just to bad the story was slow and un-entertaining.
Best Scene: There were some decent scenes but no one scene really stuck out for me.
Mike's Rating: Matinee. Good enough to see on the big screen, just not at full price.
Bean's Review: Another great movie from Ron Howard. Based on a
true story of two Formula-One race car drivers who needed and thrived on their
competitiveness. The acting of Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl was
exceptional. However, Daniel Bruhl really “drove” the movie.
This movie needs to be seen on a big screen to
fully appreciate the racing scenes. I would even recommend this movie to
those who have no interest in car racing.
Best Scene: When
Hemsworth’s character assaulted the news reporter for the questions he posed to
Bruhl’s character – not for the fighting – but for the principle.
Bean's Rating: Full price ticket..
