War Horse reviews

War Horse holds a 7.3/10 average from 3,773 TMDB ratings.

A too long story of a horse in times of WW I and its relationship with a young brit and some other characters in the way. Too childish but another family movie from Spielberg in the tradition of E.T. and the like.
— Andres Gomez (5/10)

I absolutely understand why _War Horse_ got the highbrow attention that it did, but I did not find it satisfying on a personal level. Final rating:★★ - Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal.
— Gimly (4/10)

Length is more, that can be reduced. But it is a Humbly simple feel good film. Spielberg Touch Is There. Story has good pace and flow of Journey. At last,we will wait anticipatedly for their joining.
