I saw Hidalgo with Viggo Mortensen over the weekend. The movie was not as good as I expected. It had a lot of potential to be a better movie than it was. But on the plus side, I think Viggo Mortensen did an excellent acting job in the movie. He was a very different character than Aragorn. And, in my opinion(which I think is a good one, considering how well I know the movies) I think he did a better job in Hidalgo than in Lord of the Rings. If anyone else has seen it, please share your thoughts.

This is a movie I would like to see - not because Viggo is in it, but because I love to see movies based on fact.
I'm sure a lot of LotR movie fans would like to see it too, because of the horses.

HELLO? Boromir and ShadowNinja, come on! this movie is great! better than pirates considering you have no kissing (hallelujah!) the only thing that surprised me is at the end, when Hidalgo's leg was cut and his nose was bleeding, I thought he was gonna die...good thing i was wrong!

Saying it was a good movie is one thing...But saying it was better than Pirates of the Caribbean is something I won't stand for. And why would no kissing make something a good movie? Are you 6 years old or something? Do you still believe in cooties?

Whoa Boromir - relax - take a deep breath - count to 10. There, there. Remember everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Now Nimrodel - I believe what Boromir is asking is - Why do you think this is a better movie than Pirates or is it just your personal preference?
I prefer less sex and more substance in the movies I watch. So this just adds another reason for me to watch it.

Yeah, because obviously horses would be the only reason to go see that movie.

I guess a certain interest in horses couldn't hurt. I mean it is about a horse race. It's almost like watching Fast & Furious and saying you don't like cars

i don't care about cars but i watched it (fast and furious). it's not the cars i watched it for but the acting. viggo is a good actor, but like many movies, it wasn't a very good script from what i've heard.
btw, i haven't seen it; i'm saving up my money for a new computer

Ok, Ok, I'm sorry I liked the movie. Yes, I think kissing is stupid in movies, I want action. I admit, it did get boring, but the end made it all worth it (like the Black Stallion, not the greatest movie, but the race was awsome). The horse is the best part. My sister was drooling over Viggo, but we won't go there! I am around horses and I ride, so I do appreciate how great that horses was. I think this movie was better than Pirates because it didn't have Orlando Bloom. Other than that, I just did.

You watched Fast and the Furious for the acting? LOL - I was thinking that too. But Fast & Furious would be a whole other discussion, eh?
Nimrodel - I knew it had to be horses. I know a few other Tolkien fans who absolutely love horses and know all about the horses in Tolkien. I'm also not a big Orlando Bloom fan either. I think he did a great job but I'm just not a "oh he's a hotty" fan.
