i have just return from see the water horse with four of my child age 16 to 4. we all thoroughly enjoy it . i have to say the beginning be a little slow a angus find the egg and but once all the character be introduce and and crusoe have hatch and the plot rev along . the pompous army captain be fun to watch . the wwii surround be wonderful and all the casting be excellent no wrong note by any of the cast . the boy playing angus be really enjoyable to watch . it be a child movie but a a forty something adult i be sweep along into the adventure and enjoy it very much . i love how the plot be multi layered and plenty of tension a crusoe come under threat from some trigger happy army soldier . i have to point out that lake whakatipu in nz south island be use for a lot of the loch ness scene so should get credit from those who love the scenery . bravo to weta workshop for the realism and believability of the water horse just gorgeous . he or she have plenty of screen time too . this be a great movie for all age . it be sure footed and very enjoyable . for kiwi watch it fun spot familiar face in the support cast .
