War Horse – MD Review

Bore Horse more like. This movie lacked everything the play had that made it so enchanting - innovation, imagination and heart. Bar a couple of wartime set-pieces Spielberg gives us a plodding, episodic and unengaging narrative with an intrusive score letting us know just when to 'feel'.  The adults were bland caricatures and the children just irritating. I cared more for the puppets on stage than for the real creatures on screen. Neigh.

Score 3/10
