Featured reviews
I really like it. Campare to other Hang hang movie. This one's quite different. It can be a change point of his style, but in a good way. Also really like Teng Shen's performance!
Han Han's decades of masterpieces, full of content, outstanding characters and plots, excellent shooting of music and racing cars,
I gave a seven star more so because it is based on a true story, that alone touched me. Otherwise, it would be 5-6 movie. Pegasus tried to send a simple message about chasing your dreams. It also celebrated the life of a professional racer. It was fast paced, with more jokes in the first half while tensing up for the second half.
I somehow hope they did not work so "hard" to make it funny, in other words, a comedy. I feel were it a regular drama, which it had enough materials for, I would have liked it more. The acting is somewhat missing too. The big shot competitor pretty much had no emotions or expressions. I can't say the other characters were bland, but they did not strike me, which I kind of expect given the story line.
Overall a good story that could have been told better....

I have to admit that the first half of the movie is a bit bland, and I personally don't like the joke, since they are old and awkward. The motivation of watching this movie is the actor Teng Shen, cause I really like his performance. However the reason I give 9/10 to this movie is because the last 30mins and the ending.
As a sport movie, the racing sequences in this Pegasus are ways worse than those in Ron Howard's Rush. But at the very least, this is more like a film, with convincing plot and editing, compared to Han Han's first two pieces. Han Han takes a scattershot approach on a very cliched subject. Surprisingly, he hits some of his targets and avoids the typical pitfalls. Shen Teng has the magic of turning every film into Shen Teng-esque, and here he does it again.
