  • If you like average over the top 'blockbuster' drivel, it's the movie for you!

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Oh dear god, you just know this drivel will get award nods. The lead actor, Jeremy Irvine, CANNOT ACT! This drives me insane, no doubt he will be catapulted to stardom with mediocre (and I'm using that term generously) talent like so many others (Taylor Lautner anybody?) and people with GENUINE talent will lose out again. The first five minutes he stares blankly with his mouth gaping like his brain fell out!

    My god what tripe. The score was ridiculous, the ginger Forest Gump character (Matt Milne) was laughable! It's only saving grace was the horses!

    As usual, it's missed the point, tried too hard thus creating a ridiculously twee sickly eye rolling pile of annoyance. It could have been a fabulous movie, sadly, it really isn't!

  • Spielberg schmaltz

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By Ferry41 (223 reviews) from Oxford , 20 May 2013
    This film is not so bad considering it is from Spielberg. It is a feel-good tear jerker film about a boy and his horse with a pretty high schmaltz factor. Alot of the actors are from central casting, and there is an unrealistic Hollywood feel. If none of this bothers you you might find it an entertaining watch.

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By vickig0306 (429 reviews) from Halifax , 19 May 2013
    A very long film that is a little slow to get going but once it does et going it is definitely worth watching. Have the tissues ready as it does get quite emotional

  • Bring A Tear To A Glass Eye

    Rated - 4.5 stars  
    By stevenw05 (47 reviews) , 17 May 2013
    A truly heart warming tale brought to life by the magic of Spielberg. A tale of one boys love for his animal and through adversity struggle to get reunited by the spoils of war. Yes it may be fantasy but it is uplifting and 1 for all the family.
