SOLID ENTERTAINMENT FOR KIDS AND ADULTS! October 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Watching the trailers for this film, I thought this was going to be a really bad movie.......I was wrong, 'The Water Horse' is a very solid family film that is not too sappy and will keep adults interested as well as the kids. The CGI FX are top notch and the Loch Ness setting is beautiful. It did remind me of 'Free Willy' a little, but it's a much better film. Don't be fooled by the trailers, this one is worth seeing!
 The Loch Ness Monster is asexual?! October 12, 2008

I've wanted to see "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep" for a long time. The movie trailers made it look like a really cute take on the story of the Loch Ness Monster, and the monster itself (which is named Crusoe in the film) is absolutely adorable. However, I was left disappointed by this film. The plot is decent enough and the cast is pretty good, although Emily Watson's character was unbelievably annoying, and I'm usually a big fan of hers. In my opinion, Crusoe wasn't in the film as much as he should have been. The story was also kind of on the depressing side, which surprised me since it's supposed to be a movie for kids. The actor playing "Old Angus" and the two annoying teenage brats he shares his story with are also incredibly irritating, and I couldn't get past the fact that the Loch Ness Monster is supposed to be asexual, and that the filmmakers felt the need to go into detail about that in a children's movie. Finally (spoiler alert), I hated the end of the movie because we find out that Angus lives the rest of his life without ever seeing Crusoe again, and then we find out that the monster is dead! Sure, there's another water horse in another egg that's discovered by another cute, but who the heck cares?! Crusoe is dead! What a disappointing film.
 Excellent and sweet movie. October 4, 2008

This movie is very refreshing with its focus on the friendship between a young boy and his newly discovered pet, none other than a waterhorse of Celtic lore. The tenderness between the two is touching and people of all ages will enjoy it. The movie is very well done. And appropriate for all ages.

Received DVD in a timely manner. There was only one spot on it that froze but I'm hoping after I clean it that will be resolved.
Thank you so much.
Regards,
