Neigh! Stay Away! If You Are a Racing Fan!

The movie just did not have it! Anyone who writes for the Daily RacingForm or just involved with thoroughbred racing (not harness) willprobably agree that the movie is entertaining but just does not haveit.I am a big fan of the movie "Seabiscuit" and the finish for the bigrace between the Biscuit and War Admiral led to the audience clapping.In Secretariat no one clapped at any race he won.Most purists will be disappointed in the call of the Belmont Race. Theactual race is on You Tube and the track announcer in 1973 just did notuse some of the words that were used in the movie. The Belmont Racecould have been staged better and where did they film it? Thebackstretch of Belmont is a parking lot filled with cars. In the movieI think I saw mountains. Mountains in Elmont NY. Hmmm! Now that I gotthat off my chest--see the movie--it's entertaining especially JohnMalkovich! As for Diane Lane--I am sorry, I kept looking for RichardGere to appear.

the "horse God built"

i enjoyed the movie and i am glad the best thoroughbred in history is being remembered...he truly inspired a nation in 1973 and was only good story of that lousy year..diane lane is striking of course on big screen along with secretariat who tore up all 3 TC races...his belmont performance was beyond description and was maybe most impressive display in sports history along with ted williams hitting .406 and joe Ds 56 gm hitting streak

Wallace is a director of moments, not of cohesive wholes. His movie is a parade of confrontations punctuated by a thrilling race.

Crushingly unexceptional.

Very old fashioned story telling

This review is from: Secretariat (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) (Blu-ray) While it was interesting to see the background behind Secretariat's story, this movie feels like a made-for-TV feel-good movie. As a horse person, some of what they showed with the horses was just foolish. The BluRay looked nice on the new HD TV with the new player.

one of my fav movies last year

This review is from: Secretariat (DVD) This is a great story and a beautiful film. Even though you know how it turns out you still have all the excitment and thrill as if you didn't know. I've watched it like 5 times already.

Exhilarating!

This review is from: Secretariat (DVD) Secretariat was a wonderful movie! It is inspiring on many levels. First, the events were essentially true! Second, the marvelous power of her performance! Third, the breaking of the all male place in this sport. Fourth, the unbelievable power and heart of this wonderful horse! I can go on forever, suffice to say it's one of the best movies I've ever seen!

Absolutely wonderful movie

Secretariat could be the greatest athlete of all time and he was certainly the greatest race horse that ever lived. This movie is thrilling and insightful with great performances and mind-boggling races. Order it right now.

Secretariat

This review is from: Secretariat (DVD) If you're into horse racing history, you'll find this one interesting. Diane Lane is very good, as she always is.

History portrayed with creative license can be entertaining . . .

My wife and I rented Disney's Secretariat. I enjoyed the board room politics of the race horse owners and the racing scenes made me emotionally invested in seeing Secretariat win.Diane Lane disappeared in the character of Penny Tweedy to the point that I could forget that she was Diane Lane from "Must Love Dogs."My wife and mother in-law enjoyed seeing a story about a resourceful women who takes charge.I liked the recreation of things from the 70s like the clothes and the plastic Kodak cameras with disposable flash.It looked like Penny inherited the talents, passion, and common sense of her father.This movie is worth seeing.

Excellent Family Movie

This review is from: Secretariat (DVD) Secretariat is a very enjoyable movie, about the horse, the family who owned it, and the men who road and trained it. Like Seabiscuit, this movie is as much a story of the humans involved as it is about the horse. Great acting, wonderful audio and visual effects, an upbeat soundtrack, and attention to the societal issues of the day highlight this fine film that's great for the whole family to watch together.

Great DVD

Loved the story. My whole family enjoyed watching it. Made it more fanstastic was that it was a true story. Would highly recommend.

The People Around the Horse

This review is from: Secretariat (DVD) While this movie is named "Secretariat", it really does not have that much to do with the actual horse Secretariat but mostly about the people around him. As a native Virginian who watched this horse's career with avid interest, I found mistakes and controversies that should have been brought out, i.e., the fact that the Preakness record was actually bested by Secretariat (all those stop watches could not have been wrong) but the stewards' faulty clock was accepted as the official time. Only the Triple Crown was presented and not the remainder of his racing career. All in all, however, it was an "all right" movie.

Will become a timeless classic

This review is from: Secretariat (DVD) What a great movie. Well written, well acted and overseen by the women who knew Secretariat best. Penny Chenery.This movie will become a Disney classic.This DVD also has three scenes not released with the original movie, and the soundtrack. A great buy.

Secretariat all but ignores the horse it?s named after in favor of telling the tedious, mostly irrelevant story of his owner.

Eddie Sweat had the true connection to Secretariat

I was unimpressed with this movie. The title character was more of a prop for the Penny Tweedy character. Penny Tweedy was Disneyized into something she was not; the reality is she was a woman of wealth who grew up in the horse industry, not a "simple housewife" who had a special bond with Secretariat. At the end of the movie, a beautiful black and white portrait of Eddie Sweat with Secretariat was shown. Theirs was the true story; Eddie's bond with this amazing animal was of the heart. A film honoring the Secretariat/Eddie story would have been powerful and inspirational, two things that this movie was not.

James Berardinelli 23 April 2012

The racing sequences are effectively done and Secretariat's quest for horse racing's Triple Crown concludes with one of those stand-up-and-cheer moments, but the story as a whole seems stale and overly familiar.

Best Picture of the Year 2010

This review is from: Secretariat (DVD) There are many great pictures nominated for best picture, but Secretariat is the one overlooked for it is the BEST picture of the year. Diane Lane deserves a best actress nomination. This is an amazing movie re-living an amazing story & time in American history. Every family should watch this movie!
