You have to know horses to understand, but the same basic principle can be applied to any pet. You never seen The Incredible Journey?? More

Yeah alright, there was some tongue in cheek there. Although I hear he didn't quite write Blackadder that way, they slowed it down in the edit and found it worked better. I absolutely adore Blackadder, but he still wrote that awful line in 4 Weddings...
Oh come on, what, are you trying to impress girls on here or something?

Looking forward to Tintin though.

Looks bloody awful! Lots of shots of a horse galloping to dramatic music...
The stage play is meant to be fantastic, though I've not seen it. What puts me off this film - and what the article failed to mention - is that the adapted screenplay was done by Richard Curtis. Yes, the man who created the line 'Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed.'
lso the man that made a WWI Blackadder finale more moving than anyone ever expected it to be with a single line.

I have never been so unexited by a Speilberg movie! Who gives a flaming crap about a horse? For brief moments in that trailer I thought, "ok this looks a bit more interesting" and then it cut to another image of a horse, or someone drawing a horse or someone saying "thats my horse." never see this film!ote]

I haven't read the book and I haven't read the play but I was an extra on this movie. Someone made a comment about the all the soldiers in awe of a horse running through no mans land being a stupid idea... I was in that scene and thought it was a shit idea... in fact I made a bet with another extra that this is gonna be a shit film... it'll look impressive but it's gonna be shit. Sorry. More

Judging by comments being made some people really need to pick up the book before they start ripping into the plot and who it is aimed at. Its less than 200 pages so it won't take you lot long! More

Yeah, except this doesn't look like Saving Private Ryan, does it? This looks like a sugary tale of a boy and his horse, while WW1 happens in the background. I doubt we'll see anything like the intensity of SPR in this. More

BUT it's a horse and his boy film - twenty years ago this would have been a disney movie - I can't help feeling disappointed that this is what Spielberg decided to spend his precious time on. Tintin better be better than good.
