War Horse

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Technically superb, proudly sentimental, and unabashedly old-fashioned, War Horse is an emotional drama that tugs the heartstrings with Spielberg's customary flair.

War Horse | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Wendy Ide Times (UK) Spielberg is mindful of the family audience, but still captures the misery of trench combat. Nov 16, 2022 Full Review War Horse | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Deborah Ross The Spectator This is always emotionally obvious, as well as consistently predictable. Something important has been lost in translation that cannot be compensated for by realism or pictorial beauty. Aug 31, 2018 Full Review War Horse | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Roger Moore Tribune News Service It is a vividly detailed depiction of a time, a place and a conflict. Rated: 3/4 Mar 23, 2012 Full Review War Horse | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Michael Leader Den of Geek War Horse finds it hard to say even something comforting about the Great War. Instead, it poses a question: is the Hollywood master, with his recent record in mind, starting to lose his touch? Rated: 2/5 May 8, 2024 Full Review War Horse | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Iván Kazi EscribiendoCine War Horse marks Spielberg's return to the war genre and the continuance of his journey along the promised path. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 10/10 Jun 21, 2023 Full Review War Horse | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Danilo Castro Next Best Picture “War Horse” is a solid effort from an all-time filmmaker, so it will always be looked upon as lesser. If someone else had made it, its reputation might be better, but as it stands, it’s a solid effort with some remarkable flourishes and structural flaws.

Allanilton D O FILME E LINDO DEMAIS! SEU ÚNICO DEFEITO E FALTAR DE CARISMA COM OS PERSONAGENS HUMANOS Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Daniel F This is a movie I'll be watching with my children to grandchildren. Not many movies come along with an amazing storyline followed by beautiful cinematography. How could anyone dislike a film with an ongoing story of a horse that endured so much to end back in full circle. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review A true masterpiece. My favorit move. It is a perfect story. I highly recommend this to everybody who likes good moves. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/23 Full Review Dave S While Steven Spielberg's War Horse is clearly one of his most polished films over a career of highly polished films, it is also one of his soppiest and shamelessly manipulative efforts. The production values, as always, are top-notch, but, instead of using the characters and story to generate emotion, Spielberg uses the swelling score by John Williams to dictate to the audience exactly how they should be feeling at any given moment. A similar idea – the life of an animal and its relationship with humans – was explored to much greater effect in Robert Bresson's 1966 classic Au Hasard Balthazar, an austere film that never panders to the audience nor feels the need to explain itself or the emotions it generates. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/04/23 Full Review Charlie H Production values were lush. Casting was good. Directing excellent. But the story itself was just plain boring. If you're a big fan of horses it can have some appeal. Barring that, look elsewhere for entertainment. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/22 Full Review Audience Member I got about 20 minutes in and had to turn it off. Watching people talk to a horse and the horse then does what it was told to do is just a bit to far fetched to even be believable, spending another hour watching mind numbing scenes was too much. No wonder people think they can walk up to a wild animal in Yellowstone National park and pet the cute fuzzy bison, they watch this drivel and think animals commune with us.....ugh! Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
