  Let they who have never watched a bad movie just to stare at a hot character cast the first stone.

    I definitely haven’t. And I swear Operation Swordfish was good even without Halle Berry topless.

    I haven’t, but I watch bad movies to giggle at how stupid the plot/story/acting/SFX is. The fact that they have hot people playing characters is just gravy.

  That damn movie is marketed so heavily around brad pitt though.

  When i saw its listing om amazon prime I thought it was called “Brad Pitt: The Movie” and I was baffled.

    Interestingly enough, the reason Brad Pitt is advertised so heavily is the reason I still haven’t watched it.

    Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s an excellent actor and I enjoy seeing him on screen. I just don’t understand why an F1 movie needed Brad Pitt. I’m here to watch race cars, not some famous actor behind the wheel!

    If they cast an unknown in the lead, I’d be more intrigued because I’m interested in Formula 1 racing. But putting a famous guy in the lead makes me feel like this is gonna be some dramatic feel-good fantasy story, not something more grounded in reality.

    And yes, I know this movie is just a giant advertisement for Formula 1. But that’s a real motorsport race, so I’d be more invested if the movie felt like watching a real person’s story, not an actor telling a fictional story in the setting of F1 racing.

      Just to let you know, while the whole movie revolves around his character by design, it is a pretty solid movie.

      To the movie’s credit, it does shine a light on how old Pitt is compared to everyone else.

      Completely the same thoughts that I have. I’m very curioous as to what the story could be that gives them credence to call it “THE F1 movie”

  I watched it recently. Pretty good. The most interesting part is that they had Brad drive a real F1 car to get the feel of it. There’s a youtube video. That’s a pretty incredible life experience that he found a cheat code for.

  I’m more surprised that people still like Brad Pitt

    Did he do something? I mean in snatch and fight Club he’s an absolute snack

      Right? What’d he do? I think his acting has improved with age rather than relying only on his pretty-boy good looks from his earlier films like River or Joe Black.

      Didn’t he abuse his wife and children?

  The only F1 I’m really familiar with brings up a help window most of the time but if nobody referred to his team of mechanics as the Pitt crew, that’s a golden opportunity missed.

    Every time he stops, he makes a Pitt stop

      All of his maneuvers are Pitt maneuvers and if one turns out poorly, he’s been hoisted by his own Pitt-ard.

  Nothing wrong with that.
