Ron Howard and Formula 1: Two things I care little about, but somehow still managed to entertain me thoroughly.

A very pleasant surprise. Director Howard has previously been a good engineer at best: Apollo was an effective drama that captured a bygone era but it was also
very dry. RUSH on the other hand is energetic and funny while likewise building
a believable view into the 70's formula scene. It feels like a work of a young and hungry director. This must have been a pet project to him; I have to admit that I didn't think Howard had this film in him. Hemsworth and Bruhl own their roles as well.

For one who groans at the mere thoughts of biopics and sport films, respectively, the combination of these two subgenres was far from alluring. But Ron Howard managed to keep me very entertained, and both Hemsworth and Brühl inhabit their roles well. As much as I did enjoy it, though, I also came away with the feeling that the experience had been a somewhat vacuous one.

Hemsworth delivers a solid james hunt, but the winner here is clearly brühl as the unrelenting niki lauda. This story was epic as it happened, and so it is on screen. Both racers were fallible egomaniacs with a weird sort of mutual respect that drove them to constantly test their limits. They achieved, but they also paid dearly. They became the real life heroes others could only make up. It is only fitting, if not quite overdue, that they got their movie to attest to that.

Prior to Lauda's accident, 'Rush' seemed to reduce his fierce rivalry with Hunt to a blandly superficial series of childish insults and bitter remarks. But it manages to haul itself up in its second half which, although steeped in certain movie conventions, competently balances storytelling and modest thrills with admirable characterization.

Howard encapsulates a time period and the nectar of whatever bizarre fascination there is to be found in watching someone race a metal box around in circles really fast. The acting is stellar and the story is sure to keep most people hooked right up until the finishing line. After that, however, this movie is a Grand Prix easily forgotten.

A wonderfully compelling take on the rivalry between two '70s Formula 1 stars, Rush never takes the easy way out. The drama comes naturally as both Bruhl and Hemsworth get chances to shine - and shine, they do. The screenplay is sharp and witty and the direction infuses the whole product with energy. An effortlessly enjoyable film that kept me utterly enthralled.

Really well-made movie. The story is really good, and accurate by the sounds of it. Howard's directing is also very interesting, with his use of lighting and the color spectrum he uses for all of the races and scenery. Hemsworth and Bruhl both do their roles flawlessly as well. It's sad that this is a seemingly forgotten and underrated movie. It's really good. Worth a viewing if you still haven't seen it yet.

Stellar filmmaking from Ron Howard that got me on the edge of my seat far more than I anticipated. The racing scenes are deftly helmed and quite intense, while Bruhl and Hemsworth work well as the rival racers. One of Howard's best films to date shows that he has serious directing chops when given the right source material; here's hoping that he gets more original-feeling films like this in the future.

Well-made, but too slick, too Hollywoodesque, too trite in its morality.

I hate F1 and still it was one of the best movies of year. This is how a film should be directed and edited... Wonderful acting and beautiful costume design. I hate the fact that this kind of achievement is overlooked in the Oscar race...

Extremely well made. Never watched a lick of F1 but this was fairly exciting and the acting was top notch , so it maintained interest.

Superficial but entertaining enough portrait of the Lauda/Hunt "bromance" is told in a laid-back, old-fashioned style by Howard and Morgan, but there comes a point when this fairly lightweight (and repetitive) tale becomes a mild chore, especially when nothing is done to develop the two men's personalities beyond their "beauty and the beast" archetypes. Helped immeasurably by Hemsworth and Brühl's charismatic performances and some throaty (and exciting) race sequences.

Very pretty and it gets good after Niki gets into his accident but really just kind of dull. The story drags and the characters really don't become interesting until the end. On a purely technical level it's excellent but it's run of the mill everywhere else.

It’s odd how often this is praised for its approach to filming car races: critics seem just not to have perceived how great a reliance is placed on imitation TV commentary and graphics, so that the whole thing does little more than replicate the methods of sports broadcasting, resulting in a rather tired and silly way of conveying narrative. Pace may be brisk, but to describe this as “a philosophical drama about the way men move through the world” (Ty Burr) is to lose all critical perspective.

First of all: I don't give a shit about Formula 1. So I was quite amazed how i could get so much into this movie. Daniel Brühl is just brilliant and the quickly paced editing could make something as dull as racing very exciting.

Ron Howard, perhaps justifiably, has a bad rap for overly safe and predictable Hollywood fare. "Rush" isn't really far outside that wheelhouse, but it's quite a fast-paced and well made biopic. The rivalry between Hunt and Lauda is well developed and Hemsworth and especially Brühl give quality performances.

Great stuff, very happy to hear Murray Walker again and to see him towards the end. It's a film that you can Google the ending but if you don't know it already (I didn't, the 76 season pre-dates me) I'd advise against it

An absolute thrill ride. Ron Howard creates a visual spectacle that surely will be Oscar bait in a few months. I see a best director, best picture and best supporting actor nomination for Daniel Bruhl coming soon. Such a heated rivalry is made even more intense by creating a tone, an atmosphere full of pressure to win. Hemsworth and Bruhl are definite treats to watch in this film, there brilliant characters allowing for higher stakes when the two of them are on the grandest stage in racing.

You feel a bit sorry for Hemsworth & Brühl, who both give intense performances but don't have a script to really get their teeth into. And they're the only highlight; the rest feeling - in both tone and style - like a made-for-TV Sunday night job, full of dull dialogue and cheap visual effects. Plus the fact so much artistic licence has been taken with the story that as historical reference it's practically useless. Not a terrible film per se, but not worth two hours of your time either.

Thoroughly entertaining biosportsflick. Well crafted all around with Brühl's performance being a highlight. The script gives sufficient space to both Hunt's and Lauda's very different personas and the film is all the better for it. It's all you'd expect from a Hollywood blockbuster...so: well done England.

Why was I not so impressed by this? I mean, the acting was good, directing was fine, cinematography worth mentioning... But the story never got to me. I liked the story, sure, but I never really got to care for the characters and their development, or lack thereof. Lauda's fight that got him back in the seat never touched me... Am I just a cold-hearted son-of-a-bitch? Still worth a watch, though. It was plain, but good. - Good.

Hits its marks. Decent dual main character film. They each have their arc, their story gets told, no one is the logical antagonist unless you hate either hedonism or critical thinking. Howard's score ramps up the drama too artificially at times & some of the colour filtered cgi was a bit shabby bordering sharknado quality.

Even though you know what happens, the ride this movie takes is thrilling and captivating. Both actors hold their own in every scene they are in. Both character (as they say to themselves), are assholes, but as the movie progresses both grow and carry a certain weight with them. Lastly I need to praise the direction of Ron Howard; those racing scenes are some of the most amazing, exciting and visual racing that has ever graced the screen, nothing can hold a candle to it. Best movie of the year!

Pretty decent biopic, but also incredibly typical Hollywood which made me dislike it. Solid acting and filmmaking, but there were so many elements in the film that made me roll my eyes because it's so typical for Hollywood (biopic) films. We get a romanticized view of two people who were both kind of jerks and this always bothers me in films. We never get to see real depth. As a film this is a pretty decent watch, but there were too many annoyances for me which made me dislike the film.

Ron Howard once again showing us how real life story can top any fiction in the world. Well paced movie with good character development and great acting! Only bit I missed bit more is more racing as it was done brilliantly and authentic as hell! Ending of the movie as well is fantastic closure to this brilliant story. I have good feeling that Daniel Brühl will surely be in Oscar contention! (edit: Oh well looks like I was wrong, biggest mistake by Academy IMO this year)

The film creates a dramatic tension thanks to the actors and the gripping editing you wouldn't expect from a drama about Formula 1.The races are thrilling, especially the final and defining one.

Rush is an entertaining film that illuminates the rivalry and friendship between Lauda and Hunt, albeit in a conventional "Hollywood" style. The racing scenes are short and not that compelling (for someone who isn't an F1 fan), though thankfully the rest of the film is. Using both subjects as the dual focus of the film was an inspired choice as they complement each other felicitously. Hemsworth is good, but Brühl steals every scene.

Bruhl is the standout but all entertaining, exciting, fun. Hemsworth & Wilde make a beautiful couple & are great casting. Recall enjoying this V much but all scenes standing clear in my memory as excellent were Bruhl/Lauda driven BACK-FILLING LOAD OF FILMS NOT SEEN FOR LONG TIME -> Scores poss 20-30% out. Grateful if U drop me a cordial msg if U think memory dulled a gem or gave rosy tint 2 clunker. IE. Tell me WHY Im wrong & what U think I should score

Two fantastic performances, showy direction and a sharp script, with some of the best car races ever put to screen and a facts-based story that was just as dramatic in real life, Rush is a complete triumph as a biopic, sports movie and character drama.

I'm generally not a fan of Ron Howard's work, but he certainly is a gifted craftsman and he has a really good script and two perfectly cast actors to work with here. This is a solid film ... his best since "Apollo 13". The racing is particularly well shot.
