Is this a none-US based war film from Spielberg?

...from the trailer, at least. Looks to be another bullseye for The Berg.

The source novel is great. The stage show is truly brilliant. This looks like a good adaptation of the novel. Cynics who don't get the bond between a boy and his horse will never be won over. For better or worse will win big at the various awards ceremonies - particularly BAFTAS because of all the Brits involved.

You're seriously judging all Spielberg movies on the strength of Indy 4. That's the height of stupidity. Shame on you, man.

 i probably wouldn't bother but it's our boy Stevie so it'll be beautiful and sound gorgeous (take yet another bow John Williams) and all in all be a bit lovely.
People have said it looks boring - well, ok, so you don't like slower movies - and maybe it does look a bit soaked in golden tones but the book is great (take that as FACT from an ex teacher, Morpurgo is a class act) and so the film should be great.
The thing with Spielberg (and this is rare in Hollywood) is that he understands Britain. He gets it because he bothers to learn about a place before flying over to shoot here. He's been doing it for ages and he's schooled in British film from Ealing comedies to David Lean. He does not bugger about with American-ising things, he respects other cultures and nations and that is why he is a success - he is educated, he is intelligent, he cares about what he does.
And by the way, some of us still enjoy watching Crystal Skull - it's way better than anything out this summer, last summer or many summers prior to that. Now let the man make some other movies would ya?!

 Spielberg is good at emotion, but also knows how to back it up with visceral action – the trailer highlights the feelings, but I bet the war scenes will be good too: I foresee a gut-wrenching journey worthy of Empire of the Sun and Schindler's List.

I hoof to say, it looks bad. I just bridle at the thought of another war movie from Spielberg. If he'd done Indy 5, I'd be hot to trot, but he canter just expect me to turn up to everything he does. Yes, I'm a neigh-sayer but there it is. The script looks bad too - why can't he collaborate with Steven Stallion again like he did on Schindler's List? I won't saddle you with any mare reasons to object to this film. Sorry Steven, don't mean to rein on your parade.

You're excused, now off you trot.

The film looks interesting, perhaps slightly 'schmaltzy' but this is Spielberg so we now there'll be some mawkishness in there. The footage of the horse galloping and the close-ups were quite striking I thought. The imagery with the WWI battlefields seems quite vivid as well and it'll be interesting to see how he's visualised the battlefield given this was on the cusp of mechanised/multi-arm warfare.

I don't want to be a Negative Nancy, but this does look a bit dull.  Because it's Spielberg, I'm sure it will be a well crafted film, but I don't think this trailer does it any favours.  Can't see any plot and it looks a little like Black Beauty 2.  Still, it's early and I'll go and see it, hoping I'm wrong.

With the odd exception Spielberg's films are always of a high standard and I expect this will be the same BUT they really should have spent more time on this trailer because this is just ripe for parody. Can't wait to see the internet spoofs of which I hope will be many. Look it's the horse running, again!

Yet another spielberg dropping that is a 1/2 out of 5 but will almost certainly receive a 4/5 out of 5

Someone needs to add "My Lovely Horse" to the trailers soundtrack.
Seriously though, I can't imagine that being anything other than outstanding.

 This looks like it will be epic - but in a Titanic kind of way. Still it's Spielberg and I'm always exicited for anything he does - except Tintin. I really couldn't care less about that.

 Is it wrong that I found this trailer unintentionally funny? I kept thinking of the spoof trailers for Tropic Thunder.

 Did he really have pictures of a horse in his wallet?

Ok... I kinda trust the berg... so despite how it looks (bloody awful), it will probably end up being great...

But seriously, a picture of a horse in his wallet? Blimey. That lad needs a girlfriend.

 Man, the negativity in this thread is unreal! Have folks lost faith in Spielberg? I've not. I'm thinking of this as Black Beauty meets Saving Private Ryan in WW1. Only better.

The book this film is based on is excellent. Apparently the stage show is even better - a real heartstrings-puller.

And besides, it's only a trailer.

I have pictures of my horse on my phone - and another two tattooed on my back. Any questions?

Oh, and I've had plenty of girlfriends.
