I really want to see this flick. But it rankles me... Matt Damon as Carroll Shelby, who was a true American original. I guess I'll swallow my misgivings and stomach Matt Damon...
If you can do this, FvF is old-school Hollywood. I saw it last night and was pleasantly entertained. It's a man's movie the way they used to make 'em.
No "wokeness". No SJW nonsense. No token pandering. Just real men being real men driving really fast cars in the mid 1960s. Real men who love their sons and are married to loyal wives who support them (hats off to Outlander 's Caitriona Balfe for her portrayal of Ken Miles' strong but supportive wife Mollie).
And to the surprise of no one here, FvF looks to be doing pretty well this opening weekend at the box office.

And again to the surprise of no one here, another old-school man's movie, Midway remains strong in second place.
And finally, to the surprise of no one here, uber-woke Charlies Angels is bombing, as discussed in this thread:

Will Hollywood get the message?
They might if movie-goers tell them with their wallets.
I agree. I also saw it, last night. When was the last time we saw friendship, loyalty, honesty displayed in a movie, without sneering condemnation as a counterpoint?
It's almost as if friendship, loyalty, honesty were GOOD things...
A reboot of Charlie's Angels... who thought that was a good idea?

Those who keep an eye on film festivals and release schedules could see the weather buoys bobbing months ago. Still, it was a jolt to spot that Ford v Ferrari billboard on Lincoln Blvd. the other day, with its tanned, taut images of Matt Damon and Christian Bale, jaws set, dark glasses in place, staring down from a place that not so long ago was inhabited by Brie Larson and her Unicorn Store.
Best review of C.A. that I saw: “Woketard Manhatefest”.
I’m headed off in a half an hour to see it!
Im going to see FvF, because my dream car is a GT. Since they stopped selling GTs, I guess it will be a dream.
Just saw it, good movie and V8 sound porn.
I can’t stand Matt Damon but I will be seeing this movie.

Snort. But they give Balfe a pass cuz she's woke.
The original television series was a bad T&A show with terrible writing to back the jiggling.
I think that a case could be made that Charlie’s Angles was a predecessor of Twerking.
Glad it bombed.
Charlies Angels 2019 review. Woketards. love it.
As much as I hate Disney, at least they are not Communist Chinese controlled- yet. Other American studios have shat on Americans by pushing Communist Chinese superiority in films, ruining a lot of formerly decent American film franchises.
So let me get this straight. Leo DiCaprio, who is probably the one actor most associated with the crusade against Global Warming, is starring in a movie that celebrates cars.
SMFH.

I saw it last night, and it was great. My wife (who is not into cars at all) really enjoyed it too.
If you liked “The World’s Fastest Indian” you will like this one, too.
Then I saw the trailer.
And I thought that if it was half as good as it looks then it should be a decent flick.
Of course part of that might be because the one car I ever lusted after was a Cobra 427.
That car is ART.
Everything else is just transportation.
No gay character? This I gotta see...
