tell the story again and again about what a man can do with a vision and his own two hands.

Great true story about a great man. Anthony Hopkins was very good, and so was the small neighbour boy a jolly good fellow.

Enjoyable

Great performance by Hopkins to an amazing true story. Donaldson could've handled it a bit better though.

Fun, very entertaining movie

The story is a bit of a mash-up of a number separate events, as the real Munro set a record 6 years after his first run at Bonneville. Still, the heart of the story is there. It's a pleasant watch, but it does occasionally have what I would describe as a 'fairy-tale' feel to it that puts a damper on the idea that this is supposed to be a movie based on real events. Anthony Hopkins is of course great here too. One note: it's not really a movie about bikes and racing, but it has exciting bits.

Just watched this in December 2011, and I think it might be my favourite ever roadtrip flick. Hopkins is really excellent, the characters whose paths he crosses are neat (nothing better than the kindness of strangers!), and I quickly wound up rooting for the guy to succeed. Enjoyed it a ton.

An excellent movie which can be classified as a thriller because the audience can expect the dreams of Munro not getting fulfilled.

Feel good inspirational story without an interesting character or well developed motivation. It's well made and Hopkins gives a good performance, but everything is so bland and paint by numbers that it's tough to really care about it.

It's a little slow at times, but Hopkins makes for an engagingly quirky lead, and the whole thing carries itself off to a generally neat conclusion. There are no real surprises here, but it's a sweet story told well, and with a wide spectrum of appeal.

An inspiring story of a man who wills himself through adversity to achieve a lifelong dream of setting the world land speed record. Burt Munro, played to perfection by Anthony Hopkins, accomplishes this task despite his deteriorating health conditions, the cultural shock of traveling to a foreign nation, and struggling to have his racer admitted into the competition because his vehicle is considered substandard and dangerous. A fantastic film. See it.

The World's Fastest Indian is an impressive film. It's touching in a sweet way, and tells a story that supposedly actually happened. Exaggerated or not, the story of Burt Munro is one that I now care about. The film also manages to make you feel better about your own life, as seeing the perseverance of Burt makes you feel like you can take on the world. Hopkins is great in the lead role, and the story is engaging enough to keep interest.
