( some possible spoiler ) i be not too sure what dreamworks be think when they decide to plunk $ 80 million down on this extremely tired and lame animated flick . they probably think the spectacular animation would be more than enough to bring audience ( mostly family ) to see it in drove . well it seem to work for the opening weekend and it make $ 26 mil . and roughly and have make $ 38 . 1 mil . total ( an estimation for this weekend ) . but i think audience that come during the weekend saw pretty much the same thing i do and when i saw and they spread the word . this be one majorly lame movie and apart from the animation everything else and mostly the script seem to be do by a three year old . the movie be only about 80 min . long and but it feel like a three hour epic . a few sticking point for me be and well the irritating narration be one of them and and it so obviously write . at one point he escape from some captor and even though you can see the horse be obviously scar and up pop the narrator ( the voice of the talented matt damon ) to clear up any misconception ( which would only happen in the simplest of mindset . another one be the constant pop up of bryan adam song and now i be a fan of his music and i think he good and but come on do dreamworks really think audience would be able to handle 8 9 of his song throughout such a short movie and i certainly couldn not . finally and here a spoiler and a horse get shoot at point blank range by a member of the calvary and no less and she ( the horse ) then fall into a rag river and spirit ( the focus of the movie ) try to save her and but they both go over a waterfall that must have at least a 50 foot drop and well later in the movie near the end we see that this horse be alive and well . now i know this be a kids movie and but even that little amount of realism be unacceptable . to sum up and this be a really lame movie and i be not say kid would not enjoy it and but anyone else will be check their watch just wait for this tripe to end . definitely on my top 10 bad list of this year . out of 4 star .
