I watched this film hoping for the beauty and insight contained in the book. I watched this film expecting the cinematography to be a reflection of the hauntingly beautiful watercolour illustrations in the book, adding colour to the words. Needless to say, I was disappointed, but in all fairness film is a difficult medium to work with, when the book on which it is based is written from the point of view of a horse. I feel Spielberg did an excellent job while refraining from falling back on what I feel is an overused tool- the cheesy voice-over. While it would have had a profound effect on the overall mood of the film, I feel, in some scenes, a little more emotion from the horse would have been good. That said, it was a horse, and horses don't exactly have specifically expressive faces All in all, I think this film was a very good adaptation, however it may have benefited from a little Black Beauty-esque narrative. The performances and dialogue however were excellent, and I think that the horse that played Joey SHOULD have won an Oscar! For those who have read the book this is a must-see! For those who haven't, it's STILL a must see!

Good film, great directing, but nothing to shout about. It's been a while since I watched this film now and I can't recall a single scene which stood out. Just a mediocre film that tries too hard to play on people's emotions towards animals.
