I love Steven Spielberg, and while it wasn't bad, I didn't love it. He made Catch Me if You Can, which I told everyone who crossed my path about for months. This made me sleep for bits and while it was good, it didn't captivate me. The horse with the girl was the best part. Not his, best, not his worst.

This film is about a friendship between a young man, Albert, and a horse during World War I. Sadly, they are separated by the war. During the film we can see the War with different viewpoints : the horse, Albert, and all people who meet. We liked this film because there are lots of emotional scenes, a good story with a marvellous setting. Steven Spielberg shows a new face of WWI. That is why, we can say it is an unforgettable movie.However,it is a little long. Then some scenes can shock the young public. To conclude, if you can see War Horse, watch it !

If you've ever seen the movie "Forrest Gump", you are familiar with the concept of "the journey" being more than "the resolution" in film-making. Steven Spielberg's "War Horse" is based on a similar concept...only instead of a bench-sitting, story-telling Southerner, this time the journeyer is of the equestrian variety.For a basic plot summary, "War Horse" is a conglomeration of tales surrounding a rather remarkable horse. Raised by a young boy as a plow horse in an Irish farm, the horse eventually finds itself in the thick of World War I, where it changes hands on a number of occasions, building drama along the way.At its core, "War Horse" is two things:First, it is a World War I period piece, which it succeeds at just fine. The battle scenes are intense, the time period looks/feels about right, and the impact of the war on the surrounding territories is a nice addition that usually isn't covered in these sorts of flicks.Primarily, though, "War Horse" is a human-centered drama that tells its story through the travels of the horse. Every person who comes into contact with the horse has an interesting backstory of their own, and Spielberg does a good job of fleshing them all out and still keeping them relevant in the end.The only reason this isn't a five-star film is because some of the situations the horse encounters fall (at least in my opinion) widely beyond the realm of possibility (in favor of high drama, of course).Overall, "War Horse" is a solid film that will attract a wide variety of audiences. Whether you prefer action/adventure, romance, human drama, animal tales, or war stories, this movie has something you will enjoy. The film can also be enjoyed by all but the youngest of children (as the war scenes are not too graphic as to scare off grade-schoolers).

Steven Spielberg's "War Horse" does a beautiful job of developing a story through the eyes of a horse with assistance from his talented film crew. The famous filmmaker takes us back into WW I, where young Albert enlists to serve after his beloved horse is sold to the cavalry. Albert's hopeful journey takes him out of England and to the front lines as the war rages on, while his horse Joey experiences the war at full length as well. This idea for a story isn't that unique. It tends to serve almost like it was made for animation. What Spielberg does is take off the sugar-coated toppings and deliver an intense and often disturbing portrayal of a war that most people don't know enough about. This interesting film (though very sow at times shows a war in a different directorial manner, giving both a visually and spiritually beautiful story.
