The trailer for Steven Spielberg’s War Horse, based on Michael Morpurgo’s World War I novel, looks OK. I guess. I mean, there’s some war scenes, and there are some horses, and then there are horses in the war scenes, and there’s an old guy who talks abot the horses, and the horses in the war scenes. Also, there’s that typical Speilbergian rousing music (war movie version) and there are some actors, some of which you might like (Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Emily Watson).

It’s just a first trailer, and the movie is not due until Christmas, so maybe the next one will be more promising, not that this one looks bad. It just looks like a generic Spielbergian war movie trailer. With horses.
