Movie Review: War Horse [ may contain spoilers ]

When I walked into the cinema to watch this, it was filled with 'old people'. Seriously...I was starting to think that I walked into the wrong cinema. BUT, it is about war, so I guess they would be interested.

The movie was really long, it lasted for about 2 and a half hours, which is pretty long. Well, very long.

Description: 
"Spielberg directed war-drama, based on both the children's novel and its stage adaptation, about a British lad who sets out on a journey to rescue his horse from the battlefields of World War I. Albert's (newcomer Jeremy Irvine) pet horse and best friend, Joey, is sold to the calvary at the outbreak of the first World War. Heartbroken, Albert heads to France to find his friend, despite being too young to enlist in the British army. The film follows Joey's journey across Europe and through the war, as well as Albert's search. Also stars Tom Hiddleston (Thor), Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC's Sherlock) and Oscar-nominee Emily Watson (Breaking the Waves)." 


Watch the trailer: 

I think this movie would be a really educational movie in the future, considering how much depth it gives in the harsh reality of warfare. It shows true friendship which makes this movie emotionally breath-taking. They are torn apart by war, but the horse, Joey, ends the war. 


But it was really emotional for me, obviously and the plot was quite sad. There were a lot of 'what if's and Joey had gone through so many near-death experiences, that it was lucky that he even got through them. 


Rating: 10/10 
Recommendation: Yes. (: It's really really good and worth your time to check out. 


Thanks for reading,
