War Horse

Year: 2011

Why'd I Watch It?: Quest to watch all of the Oscar movies.

What's It About?: A boy, his horse, and World War I.

What'd I Think?: In my serious adult opinion it was pretty good. All the cinematography was beautiful, with stunning landscapes and wonderfully framed shots. The story was good and I'm glad the war was depicted as brutally as it was. It was a bit longer than necessary, but whatevs. In my goofy teenager opinion Hiddleston and Cumberbatch bought the farm too quickly and if I never see Cumberbatch with that awful 'stache again it will be too soon.
