WAR HORSE (movie review from the past): Beautiful looking crap

Speilberg’s WAR HORSE is Beautiful Looking Crap

If you love horses beware!  This movie will make you cry as you watch the way horses were cruelly used in the Great War.  You will not be entertained looking at dead horses piled in heaps and living horses with busted legs pulling heavy the heavy German canons.  Director Steven Spielberg’s beautiful looking movie about a horse during World War I is not one of his best.  It’s a slow movie with actors that are not that interesting given throwaway lines to read.  War is depicted as loud and don’t expect anything like Saving Private Ryan.  Don’t get me wrong, this movie has some nice qualities.  Running horses in a pasture is always nice and a boy loving a horse isn’t all bad.  Still I wonder, who did the director target this movie for?
