F1: The Movie

A veteran driver, considered by many to be washed-up, returns to action alongside a promising young rookie. The director of Top Gun: Maverick is back, this time with Brad Pitt in the lead role. Is it worth your attention? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yh9BPUBbbQ

🟢🟢🟢🟢

  • Brad Pitt is a true superstar and proves it here once again. Simple, direct, grounded—he delivers a performance that feels effortlessly flawless.

  • Great directing and excellent pacing. At 2.5 hours long, the film never drags.

  • Javier Bardem is also very good, and his chemistry with Pitt really works.

  • Overall, the acting is consistently strong across the board.

  • The racing scenes are thrilling, and I think Formula 1 fans especially will love them.

  • The sound design is also outstanding (granted, I watched it on an IMAX screen 😅).

  • This is the definition of a blockbuster.

  • The soundtrack is fantastic and really adds to the experience.

  • It’s pure fun from start to finish.

  • From a technical standpoint, F1 is crafted to perfection.

  • Nice touches of humor at just the right moments.

  • The script, while not bothersome, is simple and comes with the usual clichés of the genre.

  • Cutting about 20 minutes from the runtime might have made it tighter—though it never feels boring.

  • Predictable ending

Old Guard 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyivgZ074PY Andy and her team are called to face a new global threat, while the past returns in the form of Quynh – a former comrade they all thought dead. Her comeback sparks conflict, betrayal, and long-buried secrets that threaten to tear the group apart. In the end, the immortals are forced to reconsider their place in the world and confront the ultimate question: is eternal life really worth it? Is the sequel worth it? I’d say it’s rather average!

🟢🟢🟢🟢

  • Charlize Theron is Charlize Theron—I love her in anything, a genuine action star.

  • Nice locations across different parts of the world.

  • Strong opening action sequence.

  • Uma Thurman wielding a katana again is always a plus.

  • Henry Golding was a highlight, bringing some extra energy, and there was even a small twist.

  • The Andy vs. Quynh fight sequence was well-choreographed.

🔴🔴🔴🔴

  • Some effects look a bit clumsy.

  • The script doesn’t develop the story as much as it should—in fact, I’d say it’s weaker than the first film and fairly predictable.

  • Basic, uninspired direction.

  • Ambiguous ending.

  • Without spoiling, it feels like an unfinished movie, as it sets up for yet another sequel.

  • The subplot with Charlize’s friend isn’t really developed—probably left for the next installment.

  • Uma Thurman is somewhat underutilized, maybe intentionally, but to me the role felt poorly written.
