Racing enthusiasts are praising F1 as a thrilling ride, but they collectively acknowledge one crucial aspect that's preventing it from reaching its peak.
Revved Up and Ready to Race: Prepare your popcorn and strap in, because Brad Pitt's F1 is hitting the big screen this June, and it's shaping up to be the racing event of the year!
With renowned director Joseph Kosinski at the helm, expectations are sky-high for this Formula One-inspired sports drama, premiering on June 27th. Critics have already had a sneak peek, and while F1 might not be breaking new ground in terms of storytelling, it's undoubtedly delivering thrilling race sequences - yes, even Brad Pitt and Damson Idris are behind the wheel for real!
Ross Bonaime of Collider praises the movie, awarding it an 8 out of 10. According to Bonaime, F1 checks all the boxes for a compelling racing flick, despite being chock-full of predictable sports cliches.
Mae Abdulbaki of ScreenRant echoes that sentiment, also rating the movie 8 out of 10. The critic acknowledges the film's generic plot and prevalent branding, but still found themselves completely captivated throughout the 2.5-hour runtime.
Clint Gage of IGN acknowledges the lack of originality, but in a good sports movie, that formula works. He appreciates the collective enthusiasm that everyone seemed to bring to this project, handing out a 7 out of 10.
Liz Shannon Miller of Consequence awards the movie a B+, applauding its ability to encapsulate the adrenaline and danger of racing. However, she notes that the movie's length might start to drag towards the end.
Witney Seibold of SlashFilm seems to have the least patience for F1's shortcomings, giving the film a 4.5 out of 10. According to Seibold, Brad Pitt plays a "previous generation's pretty boy" trying to prove he still has what it takes, but the movie ultimately falls short.
Overall, critics seem to agree that F1 is a lengthy watch, but the intense racing action and star-studded cast make it a worthy addition to the sports movie genre. So gear up for a wild ride and get ready to cheer for Brad Pitt as he blazes down the track in F1, hitting theaters on June 27th.
