Likes : OMG this film is outstanding, watching this film i was in tear through most of the film, this is such an emotion adventure of horse's journey across battle fields,war torn countries from handler to handler,this is one story that inspirational, Steven spielberg has real made a fantastic film. Jeremy Irvine plays Albert Narracott who befriends the horse together there bond become some legendary like two friends there force apart by war but found each other again after a few years,this story is just amazing, it shows how intelligent the horse was as several times it show communication to one horse which save it life from being shot this was truly amazing,but it wasn't just the story line it was the emotional journey this horse went through, Ive never seen a film beautiful made like this. Peter Mullan plays Albert father Ted Narracott who gets a little drunk trying to keep the farm a float, Emily Watson plays Albert mother who trying hard to keep the peace. Tom Hiddleston plays Captain Nicholls who brought the horse off of ted narracott to use in the war.for anyone that loves horse's this is a film you really want to watch.the performance of the casting in this film was spot on,it really showed how hard it was in the first world war,but the struggle this horse went through just to get back home was real emotion it was like a character of it self, this horse had spirit it really sets the film off in such a way you cant help but cry with happiness & sorrow through the whole film,it real dose hit the heart,this is what makes an outstanding film.
Dislikes : The only thing that pissed me off was the horse's had no respect from the German what so ever in this war,i despair animal cruelty
Overall : An outstanding film to watch unmissable,your be a fool to not watch this film, an emotional adventure of happineess & sorrow.

Great review, really cannot decide whether to see this or not!! It looked really dull when I first saw the trailer but now, with all the praise, may give it a go.
