I can see why people like War Horse, and can also see why it would be good live. Maybe I need to watch it again as I usually like Spielberg films. Possibly I was comparing it to the hype which is never a good idea as the hypes very rarely met.
Quite frankly I couldn't care less when a person dies in an film, but the second an animal is in a tiny bit of pain I'm an emotional WRECK. Saying that I didn't find War Horse remotely sad, then again it was a poor film. Can't bring myself to watch Marley and Me
