AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

domdalmasso One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. Even now in 2017 it blows me away. To be honest, the first time I saw this movie was when I was a kid, and I liked it, but wasn't crazy about it. It actually got rather boring after seeing it several times. I re-watched it for the first time in several years, and just sat there flabbergasted, my mouth wide open! First of course, the cinematography. Simply breath-taking. Second, the soundtrack. Mysterious, exciting and exotic. And thirdly the beautiful speechless dialogue between Black and Alec. It feels like an ancient myth of a boy and his horse. A myth like that of Alexander and Bucephalus. This movie is deeply touching, and covers deep subjects such as friendship and trust without any dialogue. A film that needs to be experienced.

Ross622 This movie truly touched my heart when i first watched it because of the emotion throughout the entire movie. 4 time academy award nominee Mickey Rooney gives the very best performance of his career for his great supporting work in the film. Director Carol Ballard had the guts to make this family movie masterpiece come into a box office success. And also Teri Garr gives one of her best performances.The movie has great acting, photography, and it has great costume design. Also the black stallion has a touching plot to it. In my opinion this was a magnificent movie. The movie compares to such inspiring movies such as The Pride of the Yankees, Rocky, The Blind Side, Million Dollar Baby, Saving Private Ryan, The Pursuit of Happiness, and Remember the Titans. This is a true must see movie for all movie lovers and in my opinion The Black Stallion is one of the best movies ever made.

osama-abdo The Black Stallion is the best this is what real good movie is most times of the movie just the boy and the horse no much talking but much events and feelings - the best two scenes i love 1st when the boy (Kelly Reno ) give the horse food . 2nd when the horse protected the boy from a snake . Kelly Reno : one movie made him a legend in my opinion . i did not see other movies for him i guess he did not act much but he is a good actor . the director he control in good way all his tools to made a good movie like that At the end if you did not watch till now you should do it now - this is the best classic movie . thank you for all cast .

Momcat_of_Lomita If you were a horse-crazy girl kid who didn't have a horse to ride, you read "The Black Stallion" series of books, or at least the first book. They were like a religion for horse-loving kids.Revisiting the books as an adult is like going back to any place you remember as a kid: it's smaller, it's not as nice, you see flaws you weren't aware of when you were a kid.So when I found out they were making a movie out of "The Black Stallion," I was mentally braced for a disappointment. Movies rarely are able to reproduce the magic of books we loved as kids; especially if the movie is consciously made as a "kid's movie," which is to say an adult's version of what a kid is supposed to want to see.I was absolutely stunned by how beautifully the book was translated to film. Carroll Ballard's interpretation of Walter Farley's book is tender without being precious and is true to the spirit of the book without being slavish in following every detail. And above everything else, it's BEAUTIFULLY photographed. There are sequences, like when young Alec Ramsey (Kelly Reno) first rides The Black, that are pure visual poetry. And Carmine Coppola's score for the movie is beautiful, right on the money in setting the mood and the rhythm.I have to comment on Mickey Rooney as hardboot horse-trainer Henry Dailey. I think that this is the best thing I've seen Rooney do as an older adult actor. The scene where he's explaining to Kelly Reno's character Alec how you ride racehorses is so vivid and well-done that it's stayed crystal clear in my memory since I saw the film the first time in 1979.For all the visual poetry and the excellent translation of the book to the screen, this is not a perfect movie. There are some schmaltzy, kitschy moments to it, where as an adult viewer you're just kind of gritting your teeth for them to move on to something that's authentic and not contrived. And in discussion with other horse-lovers, I know that not everyone who is familiar with Farley's book is happy with the liberties that have been taken by the filmmakers in adapting the story for the screen. Also, this is unabashedly a horse story. If you aren't into horses, if they don't stir up any romance or poetry or love of their beauty in your soul, this is not a movie you're going to enjoy or even understand.But if you love horses, there are parts of this movie that are going to be pure magic to you. I have to regard the sequence of Kelly Reno riding The Black for the first time right up there with the chariot race sequence of Ben-Hur as the two most beautifully evocative scenes involving horses that have ever been filmed, and I think that is reason enough to recommend this movie.
