One of the most stupidest movie I've ever seen. Script is horrible. It almost feels like a grade school student wrote it. If the media over there really acts like he/she is above everyone, they are really deluded. Media is never above everyone - same with the doctors (at least outside of PI). Acting is probably below average or average at most. Production seems amateur-ish. I am under the impression that PI movies are always like this. The lighting is very unrealistic and plain horrible. It appears that they are really trying hard to copy the horror movies from Japan but ended up making something that looks like decades behind "The Ring" (not the US version). It's either that or PI is really behind in everything apart from corruption which surprisingly the country is ranked one of the highest. I've been noticing the actors there are always exaggerating the way they act in the movies. That's not acting people. Watch American, Spanish, French, Columbian, Mexican, etc movies and you will see a huge difference. Foreign actors get legitimate awards because the watchers can see and feel the characters in the movie and not the actors behind it. In PI, it's all about the actors and beauty and not raw talent. There are a few actors left that are genuinely good and Vilma Santos is one of those few people left (less than 10). Most actors (especially for the past 25 years) are really not that good..at least compared to actors outside of PI. New child actors in the US are 50x better than the actors in PI that have at least 25 years of experience under their belt. It is a sad reality but true.

We watched this movie on imax and it was really an immersing experience. The storyline is very good. The track battle and scenarios are pretty accurate...although I'm not gonna lie that a few are considered "hollywood magic" but it is still a legitimate F1 movie. I honestly want to watch it again coz it is that good. The crew (along with Lewis, Toto and Stefano) did great to ensure that the scenes are as authentic as possible. The music is also outstanding...you will really feel like you're in the movie. If you are a Formula 1 fan, this is for you. If not, you may or may not like it coz you may get confused with the F1 rules and all its technicalities. Apart from that, it is a very good movie. I hope they don't do a crossover with TC coz that might ruin the sequel. BP knows how to listen...TC likes to make it all about him so I would say no to that. JK and JB, do not get TC for the possible sequel..might as well not do it if you're planning on getting him.

It is a very good game. I don't know about the other people complaining. If you qualify last or outside of top 10 then it must be you and not the game. Also, if you get penalized then just accept it. You got to remember that this is a game. A game read codes. There are no live Marshall around so when the code recognizes that you went off the track or something then you will get penalized. This is a game and not the reality. We have AI but they cannot decide which is right and wrong for you...they depend on the coding and developers can only do so much. Let's all be realistic and stop bashing a very good F1 game. Sure it is not perfect but this is what we have and the best that we can get with our current technology. As far as the engine sound, this ain't V8, V10 or V12 so just accept that fact. We are in the hybrid era. Unless F1 changes course, the engine sound won't get a huge bump. For the handling concerns, it is a step up. Unless you tweak your setup, the presets will feel arcade-like coz the devs need to put something so regular peeps can play it easily without too much complaining but don't expect to get on top with the presets. As far as the team mode, when was the last time you saw a team owner driving for his team? As far as I know, it only happened a few times maybe back in the 80s or some before that(?). Definitely nothing in the 2000s. Let's be realistic guys. If you don't want this then focus on career mode. That's why they have two options to cater for everyone's needs. It's good that we have all of these varieties in game. Anyway, the tracks are legit good. Graphics are outstanding. The colors, shades, reflection, LIDAR tracks, etc are very good. The technical aspect of setting up a car is tricky. I've been doing trial and error and pushing the limits. Tire management is strong in this game (as in real life)...proper planning is imperative to have a successful weekend. F1 world is good but I hope getting unique isn't very difficult to acquire...or maybe I am doing something wrong (leaning towards the latter). Career mode is awesome if you want a full immersive experience. F1 world is very competitive so it may not be your forte. I think having a simulator is a must if you're serious about getting on top otherwise, a controller is fine. I support the Anti Cheat program for this game and other games like Elden Ring. Everyone has to earn their spot. Most important thing to remember is that this is a game...enjoy it the best way you can. * not a paid customer...I wish I am lol

If I can be honest, the only good thing here is the multiplayer. The calendar limitation sux especially in hard mode. The customization is pretty much thesame..no innovation there. The engine swap or upgrades are freaking expensive and not even close to the real world price if you think about it. The characters are lame. The storyline is lackluster. The location is in Chicago...I don't know why someone would want to drive their sports car there (I can see drag racing but not NFS style racing)...normally you would want an open road for racing like South Beach in Florida or California or even Vegas. The graphics and cars are almost thesame as Heat (much better game than Unbound). There is a bigger chance of developing uncontrolled anger while playing this game due to it's core mechanics. Buy it if you are gonna do multiplayer all the time but apart from that, this game is worth skipping for single player mode. If it's on sale for $4, go for it so if you don't like it, you only wasted $4. If you paid full price, get ready to be disappointed. * This is coming from a person that's been playing NFS since the 90s.

It's the best modern NFS game for me. Storyline is short and ended abruptly. But apart from that, the cars, customization, police chase, off road, drift, map and location are the best. Graphics and game mechanics are awesome. The speed and maneuvering the cars are quite on spot. It reminds me of Carbon, Most Wanted and Underground as far as wanting to play this game over and over again. I just wish that the storyline is longer and stronger as Carbon. Multiplayer is almost non existent coz EA ditched Ghost studio. EA messed up big time. This is the only one of the "few" best NFS games out there and they pulled the plug. Now they released Unbound which is not even remotely as good as the Heat (apart from online multiplayer). * When I say few, not including the very old ones from the 90s, I would say Heat is right up there with Most Wanted and Carbon. * The 90s NFS games are good but it's old and so are their graphics. I think they remastered it somehow but it wasn't as legit as the modern NFS now graphic-wise. * I've been playing NFS since the 90s so believe me when I say that this is one of the few NFS games that's worth playing. Btw, you can change the difficulty if you want it more challenging. Also, you can choose to race during the day or night. Each will have it's own perks. ;) * It's not hard to reach heat level 5. Playing for 5 hours, I probably reached heat level 5 countless of times..definitely more than 10. It is fun to run away from the helicopter, rhinos, and vette cops...but it's also hard to leave them behind and hide. It takes a lot of practice for sure...the bridge, trees and buildings are your friend for sure, if you can create decent gap between you and them. * If you want to get the FXX Evo, join our crew: REAP3R17 (only 2 spots left open).

I dont know how this show got over 80% on RT. It might be a controlled marketing. Honestly, the production (effects, video editing, costume) is great. It is almost thesame as the LOTR or Hobbit but that's about it. This movie doesn't have the same feeling as those two franchises. Their scripts and storylines are pretty lame to me so far. I am forcing myself to watch it because I love LOTR and Hobbit but I don't think that I'm going to like this that much. If LOTR is a 9/10 and the Hobbit is an 8 to 8.5/10, this series is a 4/10...5 will be pushing it. The elves aren't acting like elves. They talk, act or move like a normal person...definitely different from LOTR and the Hobbit. You can also hear the elves' footstep which you are not suppose to hear because "they are elves" like the two franchises...they don't leave a trail remember? But not this one basing it on the sound of their footsteps. I think the cast was pretty bad..the producers and casting director (and maybe the director too) didn't think this through. All in all it falls flat to me. If you are a solid fan of LOTR and the Hobbit, don't expect too much from this. You will be disappointed. First episode, I stopped after 15 minutes as I wasn't intrigued or felt anything to compel me to watch. After two days I gave it a shot again and forced myself to finish it coz I don't like starting something and not finishing it and I want to give this show a chance and not be too critical. Tried the second episode this weekend and it is still flat. The storyline and their scripts are not deserving of the title "Lord of the Rings". It is a little difficult to watch. The only thing that I like are the effects, their costumes and video editing. That is it. This is my honest review. Again, I don't know where the high rating came from from RT or other sources. It sounds to me like somebody is trying to control the narrative on the reviews to make people watch it. But let me warn you that it doesn't come close to LOTR and the Hobbit. This series is like a fly compared to those two. Sorry but I got to tell the truth.
