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.

Stallion" has gorgeous cinematography with spectacular landscapes - plus a lazy script, forgettable performances and regrettably uninspired direction.

A film truly geared to the 6-year-old level. If not younger.
By Kenneth Turan FULL REVIEW

Does not measure up to its predecessor, but it's child-friendly and lasts only 45 minutes.
By Jean Oppenheimer FULL REVIEW

Designed to maximize the visual opportunities for Imax's cameras even as it minimizes the dramatic conflicts that make for a satisfying moviegoing experience.
By Kirk Honeycutt FULL REVIEW

A visually opulent but dramatically undernourished prequel to the 1979 hit of almost the same name.
