Boring
There wasn't a single character in this movie that I could like.
shareAgreed
sharePlease do try: Grand Prix(1966) and Le Mans(1971)..before saying Rush(2013) = boring.
shareDespite the incredibly flawed protagonists: Lauda and Hunt, I ended up liking both or at the very least sympathizing with both.
shareLol at how obtuse you got.
shareSo, the OP had no respect and admiration for the courage and determination that Niki Lauda summoned in his painful rehab? The OP took no inspiration or motivation from that HEROIC example, where this man who had been BURNED ALIVE in a fire over 600 degrees Fahrenheit was back racing SIX WEEKS later? Well, then, I guess the OP finds heroes boring. Heroes may lack charm, charisma, people skills and press agents. They are still heroes. Oh, and not for nothing, Niki Lauda went on to become THE advocate for safety in F1 after his retirement from driving. He made the sport introduce new regulations making the cars strong as tanks and safe as a fallout shelter. Fatalities in F1 have diminished from being a commonplace to almost none. I recall only one death in the past 10 years. Yeah, I know: saving human lives—how boring.

The OP is an idiot. This is an excellent film, and I'm not even a racing fan. 8/10.

Not boring at all. One of the best sports movies ever. One of the best rivalry movies ever, with two dramatically different individuals pursuing the same object, starting out as enemies and growing to respect each other.
shareI agree. Rush is one of the very few movies that I actually saw twice in theaters. It's a great film.
It's a shame it didn't perform better at the box office. I think it's Ron Howard's second best film (Apollo 13 is #1) and it only made $26 million in the US, $90 million overall. Meanwhile, your latest superhero film is hauling that much in during the first weekend.
It kind of reminds me of how Robert Zemeckis's recent films The Walk and Allied, both of which I enjoyed, also underperformed. These guys are among the best directors in history but it's like moviegoers have forgotten that.
