After much anticipation and hype, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse finally opened on Christmas Day. Of course, my husband and I went to see it instead of spending the day with long-lost (and frankly scary) relatives.
As an escape from awkward family encounters, the movie earns two thumbs up.
As a theatrical masterpiece…not so much, at least in my opinion. But keep in mind, I am biased because I’ve seen the amazingly awesome Broadway play. When you’ve seen that, it’s hard for any Hollywood movie to compare.
EN will have a more thorough critical review of War Horse once all of our writers have seen it. I know many people have loved it, and others not as much, but the overall sentiment is it’s worth seeing.
