Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk review: Based on a novel by Dick King-Smith, author of The Sheep Pig (from which Babe was adapted), the touching and often spectacular The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep ingeniously presumes to explain the truth behind "Nessie," , the Loch Ness Monster. The story, told in present day to a couple of American tourists by a kindly gentleman (Brian Cox) in a pub, begins with a lonely boy, Angus (Alex Etel), pining for his father, who is serving in the Royal Navy during World War II. Angus, along with his sister (Priyanka Xi) and mother (Emily Watson), live on an estate that has been billeted by soldiers in the Scottish Highlands, near Loch Ness. The troop’s commander (David Morissey) has an eye for mom, suspicions about a mysterious handyman, Lewis (Ben Chaplin), who is also a war hero, and an absurd contention that the Highlands are the real frontline in the war against Germany. Into this intriguing drama comes a completely different element, a fantastical creature of Celtic mythology that befriends Angus and is, in fact, the sea-beast who will eventually be known as the Loch Ness Monster. Trying to hide the dinosaur-like fellow, nicknamed Crusoe, Angus enlists Lewis to transfer it to the lake, where boy and serpent have extraordinary adventures together until human stupidity threatens Crusoe’s existence. A true family film, there is a lot for adults to like about the grownup story in The Water Horse. Meanwhile, the wistful relationship between Angus and Crusoe--each of whom helps the other move past obstacles toward their individual destinies--will leave children feeling both happy and melancholy in the best possible sense. Directed by Jay Russell (My Dog Skip), The Water Horse is the best of a mini-genre of films about or inspired by old Nessie. --Tom Keogh. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - beautifuli was so happy to see this film. It was a poignant and breathtaking tale of a mythical creature - the water horse ' Caruso' and his secret friendship with Angus, the boy who discovered Caruso and brought him up from an egg. This lovely tale is set during the second world war and is even more emotional because of the sideline events which are also happening. A guaranteed heart churner, this is a lovely film for everyone. Rating:  - An absolutely beautiful film - Highly reccomendedThis is such a wonderful and moving film. It brought a tear to my eye. I actually had never heard of it before but upon reading the storyline and looking at reviews I thought that it sounded like a film that I would enjoy. I am amazed that this film is not more widely known about. Great family viewing and a thoroughly enjoyable film even if you haven't got any kids (like me!) Truely magical. I can't reccomend it highly enough. Rating: - Wonderful EntertainmentA very good movie, its about The Water Horse (The Loch Ness Monster ?) who grows from been very tiny to a huge animal in a very short space of time. Beautifully shot with excellent locations and settings, gives the impression of Scotland during World War II. Very good looking creature, looks very life like. Very entertaining for all the family which the kids will love. Rating: - Water HorseI have watched this with my 8 year old son and we both thought it was a great little film! Great family viewing, no violence, bad language, awkward sexy moments or anything like that. Just a lovely, believe it if you like, fairy tale. Great acting too from the lead young character! Recommended for children big and small! Rating: - One of the best films of 2008It's such a shame that this film didn't receive the recognition and media attention it deserves. It's a film that caters for all ages, at the same time amusing, heart-lifting and sombre. The special effects are absolutely fantastic, and that's saying something given all the special effects floating around the film industry nowadays. Crusoe the Water Horse looks more life-like than any other CGI creature I've seen on screen. This is a film with great re-watchability, and I recommend it to all. |
