 Welcome to Car Side Reviews, I'm Adam, and today I'm going to be talking about Ford vs Ferrari. A quick little note about this show, Car Side Reviews, it is not meant to be an in-depth breakdown of a movie I just saw. In fact, it's the complete opposite. I get done watching the movie at the theater, I get in my car, and I quickly talk about it as candidly as possible, like you would talk to your buddies about a film. I also want to point out that I saw the movie last night, and I'm filming tonight. I drove away from my house to a somewhat lit area to film instead of doing it right after the movie, because I got a text from my wife right after my double feature of Charlie's Angels followed up with Ford vs Ferrari, that my son Connor was at home puking his brains out, and I had to rush home and deal with that. So he's now sleeping and recovering along with the rest of my family, and I'm once again out here now doing my little hobby. So as I do this review, know in the back of my mind that there is a bit of fear that I will be next to receive the stomach flu, and there's nothing worse than knowing that you are that you are susceptible to this danger that's just looming around the corner. In fact, the only thing that's possibly scarier is driving 200 miles an hour in one of these four vehicles I saw in the film. That was a segue. I believe it was a couple years ago the Martian hit theaters, and when I left that it was easily my favorite movie of the year, or one of them. And as I left this film yesterday, I had the same feelings after ruminating a little bit after things set in. Yeah, my initial response is absolutely correct. I loved this film. This is why I go to movies. You know, Charlie's Angels, I'm going to do a movie feud on versus the 2000 version, but I'm not going to review that one. It was fine. If you like the Charlie's Angels movies of the past or the TV show or have some nostalgia there, or just want to see, you know, some women that are hot doing cool things, and you're not a little bit bothered by the, you know, the woke stuff in Hollywood scripts these days. Go check it out. It's it's it's otherwise I would just wait till it's not like Netflix or something. There's there's no rush to go see this. It was it was an entertaining enough film. Ford versus Ferrari, though, this is a head to the theater. Bring your whole family, grab some popcorn and a soda and sit back for two and a half hours and just be wild. Matt Damon, Christian Bale never miss a step. They are fantastic to watch. Bale especially, I thought, you know, he's so good at just getting into these characters. Matt Damon's always kind of like your go to nice guy. You know, he's easy to rally behind. But Bale, I mean, dear God, this guy, this guy flip flops weights like it's a 3D baseball card. James Mangold, I think is the name of the director. He did Logan, one of my favorite movies. Definitely a top 10 comic book movie for me. He got everything about this is just just works. The cinematography, the music, the the way that they put you inside the driver's seat, you get that tension when the races are going. Even if you know the outcome, it's still an edge of your seat affair that you're just you're just along for the ride on people that know me in my show know that one thing I will harp on is often run times. You know, comedies can overstay their welcome. Even even, you know, these dramas and stuff can run a little bit long. I've never really complained that a movie is too short. I don't think here, you know, we're running two and a half hours and it felt perfectly fine. I had no issues with the runtime. So even even longer movies can definitely work. It just they have to have enough story there and there has to be enough kind of working. The pace never felt sluggish and never it never dragged. It's based on true events. I can't speak to how much of it is accurate and what's not. I assume they got the basic plots correct with Ford, you know, coming into the racing game and trying to become relevant again, trying to get the prestige that they once had. This is one of those movies that I think people will agree is great all across the board. I can't imagine someone going out of that film and saying, well, this isn't what I thought it would be at all because, you know, you have plenty of racing. There's plenty of action moments. I mean, I think there's an entire 20, 30 minutes dedicated to one race at the end. It's it's just nuts. I have nothing bad to say about this. It's definitely contender for my favorite of the year. And you should definitely see it. It's worth the trip. Thanks for joining me in the car. If you like the content, make sure to subscribe.
