Summary: A wonderful movie!
Review: I thought this was a wonderful movie and have seen it over and over. It's a special treat for people who truly know a lot about horses in the terms they use, but is still enjoyable for every horse lover. The story is very unique and about the beautiful brumbies of Australia and thier hardships as horses. I'd describe it as a "mustang Black Beauty" and a must see for horse-lovers!

Summary: A Pleasurable Jaunt in the Country
Review: I just saw this movie for the first time and definitely watch it again. I am sorry it is not out on DVD. The scenery in this flick is georgous and so is Russell Crowe. The horses were beautiful and wild. As a breeder of horses I was very disturbed at the fight sequences between the stallions. Since this movies is supposed to be a "family oriented" film I was surprised they showed such violence. Crowe again proves he doesn't need lines to project his masculinity.

Summary: There were horses in this movie?
Review: Somehow I never got past the scene when Russell Crowe bathes in the river and takes a nap with his dog on his chest. Seriously...like other readers I watched this movie because Russell Crowe is, in my opinion, the best actor working today. I ended up enjoying the scenery and the gentle story. It was a nice, relaxing movie that parents can enjoy with their kids. Most movies for kids are sloppy and idiotic. This one had a genuine love for these magnificent animals and the land they inhabit. I really enjoyed it.

Summary: Thorwa Lives On!
Review: Two words: See it! It's the best movie yet! I've watched it a total of 11 times, and it NEVER get's boring. With the breath taking scence, and horses this is a MUST movie. You look through the eyes of a horse. ( Which I must say is very wonderful touch to this movie ) It's ending leaves you in question and a smile or a tear or two. But it also leaves you wanting to see it again and AGAIN!

Summary: Thor Lives On!
Review: I thought this was an extrordinary movie, although I am a kid. It gives such detail into a horses life! If you are a horse lover of any kind, this is a MUST movie! Even though the horse dies at the end, it's something in the movie that makes it soo good that you are happy that he does!That's why I rate it 5 stars because it has the kind of quality to make it the BEST movie yet!But I won't give too many secrets away, you'll see.......

Summary: 3 1/2 Stars Beautiful Film
Review: ...Beautifully simple children's story? What do we respect? How do we learn to respect nature? ...this has been mentioned as another version of "The Man From Snowy River", I have no problem with that. Australian's do love their horses and they make really exceptional films about them. "Phar Lap" is another wonderful example of these films. It's nice to get alittle Australia in your veins and visit the bush and the High Country for a time. In this film Mr. Crowe had some real competition on screen. It was from the animal stars, fortunately, there seemed to be some real bonding between Russell and his animal co-stars. His dog seemed to really love him as did his horses. If you've ever had a pet or worked on a film you know that this is not always the easiest thing to catch on film. The riding was great fun, the scenery spectactular, covering the seasons in the high country and the horses were breathtaking...

Summary: Well done adaptation of the book
Review: Although this is a very well-done adaptation of Elyne Mitchell's Silver Brumby book, I did not give it 5 stars as I felt it could have focused more on the horses than the people. However, it showed life through the horses' eyes very well, and the potential cruelty of man (without needlessly dwelling on the latter). The human actors were for the most part well-acted (except for the young girl), but the horses outshone them all. I will not hesitate to purchase this video for my own neice. The cinematography is really breathtaking, and I only wish it were available of widescreen or DVD. Thowra lives!

Summary: westrnr
Review: I purchased this movie initially because of Russell Crowe. While he had a minor part in the movie, I still enjoyed it very much. The horses were absolutely breathtaking. The scenery was quite beautiful. I think this is a great children's movie as an alternative to all of the violence one see's in movies purported to be suitable for children.

Summary: Why I bought this movie
Review: I bought this movie for 1 reason: Russell Crowe. Not only can he act, he's gorgeous & he's my age. The film gave him nothing to do & the story made him sound like he was a villian. His character did nothing in the story to deserve that. Then, they needed a better looking actress to play the daughter.
