"War Horse" is a beautifully shot film with a tremendous John Williams score to go along with some incredible big budget set pieces. It's just too bad that it doesn't have a very good script to match. There's a good story to be told here, but director Steven Spielberg struggles to bring it all together. The movie relies too heavily on the horse (who is obviously limited in its acting ability) to drive the movie while having the human characters come in and out of the story without really giving us time to invest in them. Some of the dialogue is groan-worthy and the young actors are often pretty one-dimensional. It's not a bad movie by any means but certainly more is expected from such a legendary director.
