The Water Horse

In The Water Horse, Angus, a young Scottish boy, finds an enchanted egg. Taking it home, he soon finds himself face-to-face with an amazing creature: the mythical "water horse" of Scottish lore. Angus begins a journey of discovery, facing his greatest fears and risking his life to protect a secret that would give birth to a legend.

This movie was watchable, but not overly entertaining by any means. It reminded me a lot of Free Willy but without that same great, emotional attachment to the story. The underwater scenes were really great but outside of that there wasn't much excitement whatsoever. The beginning with the hiding of the baby horse would have been great if I hadn't seen it a couple hundred times in the commercials.

I would lukewarmly recommend this movie to people. Its one of those you saw the preview - you saw the movie type deals and its not an automatic great view for the kiddies because it drags at times and has a coinciding war time story going on.
