War Horse

Okay, I saw War Horse a while ago.

I really didn't want to see it, because I thought it would make me cry, (I always cry when a animal dies or is injured) but my mom bugged me to see it, so I did.

I thought it would be really good, seeing its Steven Spielberg, and its WAR HORSE, for god sake, it must be good.

And it was good. It was amazingly shot, with gorgeous scenery. (Well, apart from the war trenches, but you can't do anything about that) It wasn't what I thought though.

It was really cheesy. I mean, I know the story is about the miracle that brings the boy and his horse together, but in reality, what are the odds? I can't believe that the horse just happened to wander into the one battlefield where Albert is. And then, the coin flips and the British get him? I mean, come on. That was 50/50, but combined, its very improbable. The whole movie was improbable.

Also, I can't believe that the mustard gas only left that kid blind. Mustard gas leaves blisters on the skin, attacks internally, and slowly and painfully kills you. Its not very likely that he was only blinded, AND he recovered.

I was surprised to see some actors in it. The guy who plays Loki in Thor was in it, which I thought was funny, and Benedict Cumberbatch was in it too! YAY!

I also liked how it wasn't a love story. I mean, it was, but with the boy and his horse. Not two people. There was some love interests, but for one scene. (Although that scene was necessary) I liked that. There are too many love stories going on these days.

So overall, if I were you and you didn't see it, I would just rent it. Its okay.
