Leave your thoughts about The Water Horse.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertLike most British family films, Water Horse doesn't dumb down its young characters or insult the intelligence of the audience. It has a lot of sly humor about what we know, or have heard, about the Loch Ness monster. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigWell-told fanciful tales aimed at children but appreciated by adults are a rarity, and The Water Horse should be savored for the exuberantly entertaining ride it offers. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorPersonally, I wouldn’t take a toddler (unless he was the son of Tarantino) to this intermittently, legitimately terrifying tale of a boy and his Loch Ness monster. But everyone else should blow off "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and show up for the best kiddie picture of the season -- and, along with "Ratatouille," of the year. |
| San Francisco ChronicleSteve WinnA solidly made wish-fulfillment fantasy set during World War II. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberWhile it boasts a lower profile than many other Christmas releases, it might catch on with parents who want to take their kids to a movie that the entire family will actually enjoy. Nifty special effects and a first-rate British cast elevate this production. |
| VarietyJustin ChangThough it strikes some predictable coming-of-age notes, this moving, well-wrought adventure should appeal to fans of "E.T." and Carroll Ballard. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternAn enchanting tale of friendship and evolvingrelationships, The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep" engagingly grafts coming-of-age movie chestnuts onto Scottish folklore. |
| The New York TimesLaura KernFfamily-friendly escapist fare that should enthrall, without insult, fantasy-minded viewers of any age. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayCombining the best of fantasy and somber reflection, The Water Horse is a lovely ride. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliConsider it "Free Willy" with the Loch Ness Monster. It's that kind of family-friendly movie - one that focuses on the friendship between a lonely boy and an animal. |
