![]() But it's not just that the film is sentimental and that that's all it tries to do, the dialogue is just atrocious in this section. ![]() The writing doesn't become more apparently bad than here. The worse of these characters is of course, a young girl and her grandfather. The horse goes to different people, and all these people feel attached to it. I started liking it more when the horse goes into it's first soldiers, but that didn't last long. I started gaining hope at the 45 minute mark, as to maybe this could turn out differently. From the get-go, you know what the film is trying to do, and that's pretty much all it has going for it. This isn't an original film, but still, sometimes sentimentality works, but not here. Yes, War Horse is sentimental, it's everything you would expect. Well, I finally saw it, and guess what it's not a good film, but it surprised me in the way as to why it's not a good film. When the film came out and started gaining Oscar buzz in the major categories, I was surprised and wondered why? The reviews were also mostly positive, but I was still not convinced that I would like this. It looked like a sappy, cheesily sentimental, and clichéd war film. Ever since I saw the trailer for War Horse back in early 2011, I was not impressed. ![]()
