This is way too long and the beginning hour painfully slow. It pick up a little when the war starts but then it starts to feel like a bunch of small stories and I don't care for any of the characters. The war scenes are good but no where near the level of Saving Private Ryan, which is too be expected because this is for Disney. I've never been a huge fan of human/animal relationship movies and this one isn't changing my mind.

Classic old school film making at its best. Spielberg turned back the time and made a movie that is rarely made today. A small story taking place during an epic event. Microcosmos on a grand scale. People expecting more war and less horse should ask themselves what the hell they thought this movie would be about. It's about a horse and his owner during war time. It's about separation and finding back together during chaos. The horse is the protagonist. War is just the backdrop and setting. You want more war, watch Dunkirk, The Longest Day or A Bridge Too Far. This is about the friendship of a horse and his owner. Get that into your skull.

Length is more, that can be reduced. But it is a Humbly simple feel good film. Spielberg Touch Is There. Story has good pace and flow of Journey. At last,we will wait anticipatedly for their joining.

A too long story of a horse in times of WW I and its relationship with a young brit and some other characters in the way.

Too childish but another family movie from Spielberg in the tradition of E.T. and the like.

I absolutely understand why _War Horse_ got the highbrow attention that it did, but I did not find it satisfying on a personal level.

Final rating:★★ - Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal.
