I don’t think horses evoke the kind of emotions in me that they do in other people. If this had been War Donkey, I might have been a blubbering wreak by the end of it, but it isn’t and I most definitely wasn’t.
The are some very impressive scenes such as the cavalry charge and the over the top of the trenches bits but the rest of it is just a tad soft and squishy. The intentions are good, but it’s just little things get it the way. Such as really distracting terrible accents and one child actor.
One other highlight was the brief, well concealed appearance by Father Todd Unctious as the auctioneer at the start. His appearance in anything makes me smile.
