The Water Horse

I enjoyed the authentic Scottish feel of WWII times in "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep", as well as the acting all around (you can't help but like Alex Etel, last seen in "Millions"). The CGI of Caruso, the mythical water horse, was blended seamlessly when he is relatively small, but the CGI gets a little iffy when he grows up big enough to spawn the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. The structure of the film is rather curious to me because it feels like a 2-part film, so it felt a little short in the dramatic storytelling department at times, but kids will enjoy it, though it does feature some wartime activities since it's set in the WWII time period.

I give it 2.75 stars or a grade of B-.
