I couldn't stand it, personally. Over-produced and dull. Irvine plays Sam to the horse's Frodo. It's ridiculous. There's one good scene and even that ends up feeling like a parody before it's over.
If you like your cheese extra thick this movie is for you. There were some scenes with the horse that were good and I really cared. The war scenes were very excellent, but other than that I often found myself not caring or wanting it to be over. I really want to see some good World War I movies and was hoping for more of something along the line of Private Ryan, but I felt this was more like the movie A.I.
This movie ultimitly failed as a war movie and even failed as a horse movie. The parts were kind of in place, but more should have been cut and the ending didn't have to be so over the top.
** out of ***** for me. I'd say see it because there really was some good things happening, but be ready to sit through a whole lot of sap to get to them.
kidsinmind.com gave this movie an "8" for violence, so we are NOT taking our about-to-be-9-year-old to see this unless the consensus is that the violence isn't that bad. She did NOT like Iron Man (although she was a lot younger) because of the realistic violence and they rated that a "7", and Mickey Rourke freaked her out too much for her to watch Iron Man 2.
