Simply delightful June 23, 2008
THE WATER HORSE happily does not pretend to be anything more than it is. A delightful little fantasy story, with a simple emotional line. It does have the novelty of bending the usual "boy and his dog" type story into a "boy and his sea monster" story. The production keeps things just realistic enough that it has a bit more realism and teeth than the classic Disney family type fare it can be compared to. The effects work for the Water Horse are quite good, and the creature is cute as a hatchling.
I'd missed seeing this in the theater, and some of the sequences, particularly when the Water Horse is grown must have been very striking on the big screen. But they hold up well on a TV screen in the widescreen format, so I won't complain.
I expect to enjoy watching this again, since it does have a nice level of emotional catharsis. I like that it's about joy found in unexpected ways and places.
 I want a Water Horse! June 22, 2008
That's what you'll think everytime the little (then BIG) Dickens is on the screen. When he is not the focus of the story it drifts off into stupidity and BOREDOM. The whole house occupation (in SCOTLAND?) is just so stupid. Maybe if you skip chapters ...
The Water Horse... June 21, 2008

A wonderful family drama. It's mostly drama and storytelling. There is little action but it is still a good movie. I like that it is a safe movie for the whole family to enjoy TOGETHER.

Annoying...Boring...Don't Waste Your Money! June 18, 2008

The movies okay I guess...not one of the best. At first the water horse is cute but then it grows bigger and ugly. And sometimes I can't even understand what they're saying...because they're in another country or something and because of that I can't understand it very much. It's boring even if you know what's happening. Spend your time on another movie
