Black Beauty

So I was scared to see this. But gave in. Black Beauty was one of my favorites growing up. Not 100% upset with it but I got weird Flicka vibes. Was like Black Beauty meets Flicka.

This story makes no sense in parts, poor writing. The original was 1000 x better and the book was better still. At least they knew something about horses the people who made the original. It's just laziness & sloppiness. Everything is so dumber down now in movies. It's supposed to be geared towards horse people yet any decent horse person can see flaws in any scene. Very poor writing, directing & producing. That horse definitely is not a thorobred, colic isn't caused by or have anything to do with the lungs. How do these people get to make movies. Most movies are horribly written now. I didn't go to film school but I can make a better movie than 95% of stuff that comes out now. Where are they getting these people from?

Black Beauty was a horse born in Britain and raised on a country farm. In the movie, they keep calling Beauty a mustang, which is a SMALL wild horse. Beauty is not small, not in the books, and not in this movie. Whoever wrote the screenplay for this movie knows NOTHING about horses, and it shows.

A nice short and simple movie with the story we all know. Nothing wrong how they proceeded with it. And the cast is quite interesting too. Can be watched with family as it doesn't have any gratuitous content. PS : the horse actually looks very beautiful.

If you are willing to stoop to mere name recognition to get views you've already lost my respect. A black smudge on everyone involved. Am I too harsh? No. It's not a bad story and not badly executed, but when some nameless groom burns down the stable it shows disrespect to the audience on another level. This story is diametrically opposite to the story of Black Beauty.

Don't get me wrong, I love re-envisioned classics but it must be analogous to the original.
