‘F1' Twitter Reviews: Brad Pitt's racing drama hailed as ‘pure cinematic adrenaline'; F1 fans warn, 'Don't expect accuracy'

Brad Pitt 's highly anticipated racing epic F1 has finally hit the theatres in India and around the world. Early viewers are already racing to X to tweet all about the film and share their reactions and honest reviews of this high-octane racing spectacle. Directed by Top Gun: Maverick filmmaker Joseph Kosinski , F1 sees Pitt going behind the wheel as a veteran Formula One driver returning to coach a rising star. With a massive $200 million budget and real-life F1 legend Lewis Hamilton on board as a producer, the expectations were sky-high. But as the early reviews roll in, it's clear the film is dividing audiences — and sparking some passionate debate among racing fans. Not everyone crossed the finish line impressed with this adrenaline pumping film. One viewer wrote, "Next time I'm asked the worst film I've ever seen, at least I can now confirm it's #F1TheMovie." Another added, "The horrific script, the endless clichés, the brainless race commentary that explains the rules… truly staggering. A corporate sports mess." On the positive side, many are hailing F1 as a pulse-pounding cinematic spectacle. One user gushed, "F1 delivers pure cinematic adrenaline! Brad Pitt shines, the races are heart-pounding, and the story of grit, strategy, and competition is a win." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?

Soundtrack, cinematography and sound design are top notch. Kosinski did it again." Even those unfamiliar with the sport are praising the immersive experience. "No, I don't follow #F1 the sport," one fan wrote, "but you bet we were at the cinema on opening night for that 4DX experience... flying through all the races, wind in our hair, getting rained on… 10/10." Another user compared it favourably to Kosinski's previous hit, saying, "Much like Top Gun: Maverick, the driving setpieces are phenomenal but are a backdrop to a fantastic story. One of the movies of the year." Others offered more balanced takes, "F1 was good, didn't love it as much as I thought I would but it was enjoyable enough. The race scenes were incredible though! The story was generic, but the cast and racing scenes made up for it in spades. I had major anxiety through some of those races." For motorsport purists, one message was loud and clear: temper your expectations. "Watched F1: The Movie today and actually enjoyed it SO MUCH! Countless WTF moments. If you know about F1 and you plan on watching the movie, please don't expect it to be accurate." Another viewer summed up the general sentiment among audiences saying, "The F1 film is great. It's not a cinematic masterpiece and won't be winning Oscars, but I don't understand the hate. Yes, it's not entirely realistic, but it's not meant to be — it's meant to be entertaining, and that's what it is." As F1 prepares for its US debut, all eyes will be on the box office finish line to see if the film can fire up those engines and finish on a high, considering its huge budget.
