Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold
Plenty of visuals but little of the rhythm, flow or characterizations that made the earlier film an instant children's classic.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown
The hoofbeats are seismic, the music is like hot cheese, and the sandy vistas thrill appropriately: It's a perfectly rousing Ben-Her of a centerpiece.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Allison Benedikt
There are two good things to say about The Young Black Stallion" It's beautifully shot, and it's short.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Stallion" has gorgeous cinematography with spectacular landscapes - plus a lazy script, forgettable performances and regrettably uninspired direction.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Jean Oppenheimer
Does not measure up to its predecessor, but it's child-friendly and lasts only 45 minutes.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dave Kehr
Joins the small pool of films that have dared to use Imax to tell a story.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
A film truly geared to the 6-year-old level. If not younger.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
Designed to maximize the visual opportunities for Imax's cameras even as it minimizes the dramatic conflicts that make for a satisfying moviegoing experience.
Read Full Review >New York Post Megan Lehmann
A visual treat diminished by lifeless dialogue and self-conscious acting.
Read Full Review >Variety Ken Eisner
A visually opulent but dramatically undernourished prequel to the 1979 hit of almost the same name.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Young Tamimi is a terrific rider but a lackluster screen presence, and the film's brevity ensures that her trials have a perfunctory quality that keeps them from being truly compelling.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Ella Taylor
IMAX magnifies everything, including flaws, which are legion in this listless, awkward prequel to the 1979 movie based on the novel by Walter and Steven Farley.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle C.W. Nevius
Yet another 'Stallion'? Talk about beating a dead horse.
