  ¨You know, you don't throw a whole life away just 'cause he's banged up a little.¨

  Seabiscuit is one of those overly sentimental feel good movies that actually works thanks to its outstanding cast, its wonderful cinematography, its emotional score, its engaging story, and a horse with a piercing glance that can melt the hardest of hearts. The horse, Seabiscuit, doesn't actually make an appearance until at least an hour into the movie, but director Gary Ross does an impressive job of setting up the characters and establishing the setting. The narration works extremely well (and believe me it usually doesn't in crowd pleasing films like this) and the tone is set very early on in the story. The characters…

  This is a review that contains words:

  I waited the whole film for the horse  to talk, but he never did.

  Review by Sam Meltzer ★★ 9

  Seabiscuit is probably better than War Horse for me, yet they are very similar movies. Not only because they're both about horses, but because of the story beats and style. Both have amazing cinematography, solid direction, a nice score, good sound design and nice editing. Both are technically good movies. What they lack is something to grasp onto. You don’t really get much out of watching either of these movies because they lack strong characters and a memorable story.

  The reason why nobody, and I really mean nobody, talks about this movie anymore is because of how lacking it is in memorable components. It actually does not hold up poorly. I really really really wanted to say that this was a complete underrated gem and that it was amazing so I went in with very positive feelings. It’s not a bad movie, it’s just bland. Stale yet gorgeous.

  Seabiscuit is fine for what it is, a standard early 2000s drama made with mass appeal. For a movie that clocks in at almost two and a half hour and is just about a racehorse, Seabiscuit is surprisingly not boring and occasionally very compelling. However the film is also cheesy and without much of a story to tell, so it often becomes just about business decisions and inconsequential moments in time. It also has a very patronising voiceover, used to explain basic historical context. In the film's worst moment, the voiceover tells us that public programs didn't help the poor in the 1930s, people actually just suddenly felt restored, implied to be because of these inspirational stories of men and…

  Review by Morgan ★½

  I liked the part where the horse dragged Tobey Maguire through the mud and then slammed him into a wall… I hate horses but this one can stay. Tobey Maguire, I’m coming for you. You can run, but you can’t hide. I’m highly skilled in the areas of dark arts and public humiliation, and you’re next. Get on the ground and bark like a seal for me, and maybe I will contain some of my wrath. 

  Young Nick Jonas was cute! I didn’t care about the story though 😁

  September Scavenger Hunt #2

  Well, I never thought I had this opinion of it. God this was so draining to watch that had no reason to be this long. The acting is solid I’ll give it that, but Tobey Maguire has his moments where he was trying way too hard for certain scenes in the film. All he does is bitch and moan that gives me no reason to like him as a character I want to succeed. The score felt so corny and manipulative that was just there to get some Oscar nominations. The cinematography that got nominated was just whatever that didn’t impress me or anything, like it shot the film so it did its job, yay.
