Well Steven Spielberg has done yet another sweepingly beautiful movie. It is epic in the very sense of the word. Awesomely beautiful with great action shots and some gripping drama.
Unfortunately the best actor in the movie is the horse. Truly he was fantastic. Well there were other very excellent performances but too bad it wasn’t from the lead actor. Jeremy Irvine just didn’t do it for me at all as this boy who raises and searches for “Joey”. He was just flat and one note of doey eyed wonder throughout the film. Just too boring.
This movie isn’t even really about the horse per se but more about how the people that he meets are affected by him. How he helps and changes the people that he meets for the better. I didn’t LOVE this movie. I liked it. It isn’t the best horse, or even animal movie of all time. It is a decent, a little too long, beautiful movie showcasing how animals can be better than people and how they can make people be better people.
Definitely see this movie if you love an epic story that is told in the form of picturesque paintings. You will enjoy it.
