Ford v Ferrari may started a little slow, but the endgame was just straight exhilarating!!!
Real Rating: 4.5 Stars
What I Like:
-The best parts of the movie was the car races, seeing the old school type of races was awesome, you feel every single vibration and bump and what not, almost as if you are in the car with the driver, it is an exhilarating experience that has to be seen and felt in theaters, kudos to director James Mangold for creating a great experience
-The acting was great as well with Matt Damon playing Caroll Shelby, an automotive engineer, and Christian Bale, as an eccentric driver and a mechanic with a great feel for what the car needs, both of them together provided great chemistry and dialogue to make this movie right
The So So:
-The politics of the film I could not care for, especially with how egotistical Henry Ford II, played by Tracy Letts can be in trying to beat Ferrari, however, the charisma of both Shelby and Miles in making it happen, really does make you care in a short time
-There was a fight scene between Shelby and Miles, pretty much between Jason Bourne and Batman, where it is probably the worst fight you ever seen, yet it is very comedic, and does show their respect for each other, even of they are mad at each other
What I Didn’t Like:
-It started of slow for me, mainly because of the political, business, and car talk that you have to get use to, once that happens you can enjoy it, but you have to wait for it
-The character of Leo Beebe, played by Josh Lucas, screw that guy
Overall:
Once you get use to the jargon, you can sit back and enjoy an old school type of car race that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With the charismatic performances by Matt Damon and Christian Bale, they added that type of pride you need to really get into this film. I appreciate all the effects it puts into this with some great car stunt work, great sound mixing and editing, and cinematography. Put it all together, you have a satisfying movie experience!!!
