Movie Review: Warhorse By Steven Spielberg

11 Nov

The majestic War Horse in an amazing scene.

Warhorse was a really good movie. It’s not the type of film I thought I’d like, but I decided to watch it anyway with my folks. Glad I did. The movie has a magical, majestic, sweeping score and great cinematography with absolutely beautiful scenery throughout, that is a true feast for the eyes. The film reminds you of classic films of old in the way it’s shot and put together, but a modern version, especially the first half. Not that I’m well versed in classic films, but that’s the vibe I got. The cinematography throughout is amazing.

The story is extremely touching and heart-warming, as well as heart-wrenching. The movie has a great story hook that I was not expecting. I won’t say what it is because I don’t want to spoil it. If you don’t know anything about the film going in (always the best way to see a film, in fact don’t even watch the trailer on this page), you’ll be thoroughly entertained and amazed at how well they pull it off. I knew nothing about Warhorse except what can be gleaned from the title. The characters also really grow on you and it’s got great character development. A necessity in great films. Even more than that, the story feels grand, and they pull it off with perfection.

All in all it was an excellent movie: great acting, touching moments, sweeping music, awesome battle scenes, and a very interesting, twisting narrative that is quite unique. I highly recommend it! It’s a Steven Spielberg film, I should add. I will say that the accents of the main characters in the beginning of the film bothered me and can make it hard to understand what they are saying (I’d like to watch it again with subtitles), the start is also somewhat hokey, kind of how you picture a Disney movie where every situation ends in a too-triumphant grand sweep of epic music and happy people with big smiles. But the film transitions out of that state at just the right time, so it’s a minor quibble.
