Not false advertising....
PostedDecember 26, 2011
Since the story line is about a horse who goes to war, the title is not misleading. What is misleading about War Horse is that it actually attempts to pass itself off as anything more than a pile of what a horse would normally leave behind.
Shamelessly simple, dreadfully dull, and lacking any substance, the movie relies on either the possibility of three things happening to move the plot along...1. war horse is shot, 2. war horse is stolen, and 3. war horse is sold.
Take out these three plot twists and you're longing for any tangible character development or actual plot.
If you like to look at horses, rent Seabiscuit to save yourself the $10 and enjoy a decent horse and a boy story line.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Awesome origin movie
PostedJune 7, 2011
Awesome movie. Great writing, good character development, and fantastic casting.
Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and the main villain (Kevin Bacon) were the best characters and rocked this movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

inspiring
PostedApril 2, 2011
As a marathon runner, it reminded me that while so many run, so many run for different reasons. As a man, it inspired me to take on something bigger than myself. A remarkable story and something I'll truly never forget.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Get this movie into the trash
PostedJune 12, 2010
What a giant piece of dung.
We walked out after 10 minutes and nearly 30 F-bombs in the dialogue, and yes, the music.
A true waste of time and a display of talentless idiots rambling through neverending improvs of profanity-laden idiocy.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Captivating
PostedNovember 2, 2009
This film leaves no doubt that everyone should be inspired by Michael's abilities as an entertainer. It is amazing to see him re-inspired, ready to shock the world, and at the top of his game. Fun to watch and to imagine what would have been the greatest performances of his career.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

a compelling look at the impacts of greed
PostedOctober 9, 2009
The good: a critique of government's involvement with corporate america and examination of the power of demonstration and social organization
The bad: long stories of personal financial difficulties without context of personal responsibility
Overall, an excellent look at a corrupt but essential part of our country.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Soderbergh drops another load
PostedSeptember 20, 2009
Slow pace, odd and mistimed reveals of plot points, confusing dialogue, and some random humor throughout the plot. Oh wait, I'm in another Soderbergh movie . . . I shouldn't have hoped for more than this. Matt Damon does a great job creating a character, but after you're past looking at Good Will Bellyfat, you don't have much of a movie left. Don't waste your time or money.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

can I extract my money back?
PostedSeptember 5, 2009
Can Mike Judge please post his address online so I can have my $10 back?
This movie is painful to watch. If I was on a plane, I would have slept or read the in-flight magazine.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

summer movie
PostedMay 25, 2009
A fair / good summer movie. The film is all action with little to offer in the way of plot or character development. One comment - Christian Bale played this part like a robot, so it is difficult to see the difference between the machines and his acting. He should have played the role of the terminator.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
