War Horse is a great film which highlights the tragedy of the millions of horses expended during the First World War when road and rail transport was not as good as it is today. There were literally millions of horses purchased, along with donkeys and other beasts of burden. Many millions of these were killed or maimed in action and some even eaten. Spielberg always researches his films well and uses the special effects very well. The story is of a boy and his love of his horse and their experiences throughout the war, their separation and their coming together again. If you have not seen it before, then make sure you have some tissues for the ending. Personally I love any history surrounding the First World War and I love Blu-ray. This is highly recommended.

War Horse is an excellent film. I would recommend it to all. I never thought that I would be so gripped by a film where the leading actor was an animal. I certainly can understand why it won so many awards.

War Horse has fantastic effects. It's a really good film for all the family.

War Horse is a really heart-warming film, especially if you are a horse lover.

brilliant no more

War Horse is a brilliant film. The scenes are very authentic, with a good story line and the horses are magnificent.

Nice one for the family. Not the blockbuster type of film my kids generally sit down to so it does make a nice change to see them engaging with something sentimental. Not just for horse-lovers.

War Horse is worthy of all the hype! It's a must see film that I'd highly recommend.

I really enjoyed Warhorse. It was a bit too sentimental and far-fetched in places but not as weepy as you might think.
