My boyfriend was expecting it to be more about the cars, or even the feud between Ford and Ferrari (since the name of the movie is Ford vs. Ferrari). He enjoyed it, but felt a little let down in that it wasn't a little more about the cars, or necessarily the racing. Basically, all you knew about the Ferrari was that they were put together by hand. Nothing on the motor, what was used to make the car, etc. And the only thing really regarding the "rivalry" with them was the initial offer meeting and some glares during the race. It was more about character development and the internal struggle within the Ford organization. It was definitely more suits vs. Shelby & Miles than it was Ford vs. Ferrari. He still enjoyed it, though. Especially the parts with Miles and his son. He was just a little disappointed that there wasn't more racing in it.
