Does not match up to the magic of the first movie, but still enjoyable viewing. We get to see Burlinson all grown up ("Be a man, Jim! Be a man!") and plenty of scenes with him riding around looking like he was born glued to the saddle, which any reasonably warm blooded female can appreciate.My only complaint with the movie: the Stallion develops the ability to tell "the good guys" from "the bad guys," and I much preferred Douglas over Dennehy.Otherwise, more great riding, great scenery, great horses. Can't argue with that.Also, no horses died in the making of the film. The buckskin, Denny, died Christmas Eve 1999 at age 29. :) This rumor and other movie rumors will soon be address in the FAQ @ www.tomburlinson.info
