    This is one of the BEST movies I have EVER seen!

    It stars Anthony Hopkins as Burt Munro, who is from New Zealand. He is trying to set the world land speed record. First, he must get to the Bonneville Salt Flats to run his motorcycle. Follow him on his journey, meet some interesting characters, and root for the old guy to make it. It is fantastic!

    This is a true story. It is heartwarming and wonderful. I highly recommend it to everyone! And to think, I almost didn't watch it!

    I wish I had time to watch every movie out there but since I don't I have to be picky about what I choose to watch. This one didn't make the cut because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it.

    Oh my God! That was so good! You just can't hate this film. The story is so Awesome and the way it's done is so interesting! Alot of small events happen in the same mood wich is also Great and the run was not too much competitive, wich is very different from the other race movies.
    I also have to say this is one of Anthony Hopkins's best performance , he even said it: That is the best thing that he made.

    Based on a true story, this is an amazing story about a genius motorcycle maven that makes a vintage indian motorcycle go 200 mph...when he was in his 60's proving age is in your head.

    I wasn?t expecting such a great charismatic performance from Hopkins when I went to see this, but the practically genuine sincerity of his character and his goal drew me in for a truly enjoyable ride.

    Ok I didn't really have any interest in this movie, but my husband started watching it one day and so I got sucked in too. It was a very good movie, I would recommend this one to anybody, it's good for kids too.

    Decent, but a bit too long and slow-paced for my taste. Great acting as always by Anthony Hopkins though.

    Tony Hopkins, not Sir, in great true story of a NZ motor head who breaks the speed record in US. Noted as one of his favorites.

    A very powerful and moving movie. It is not a happy story, but it is one man's struggle to fulfill his lifelong dream and that makes it worth watching.

    Another in the recent spate of films I've seen based on true events. Hopkins wonderfully underplays the eccentric Munro on his lifelong quest to make an old bike go fast.

    Nice feel-good biopic of Burt Munro, who apparently still holds the world motorcycle speed record in the under 1000cc class.
