This film falls a little short of being a classic adventure; but it does succeed in many ways. Definately has an old fashioned swashbuckling feel to it, that I really liked. Viggo Mortensen definately makes a very solid leading man. Solid... Full review

Just watched on DVD and loved it. Viggo was great and so was the horse named Hidalgo. At the movies this felt 30 minutes to long but at home it was just right. Beautifully shot on location, it is a feast... Full review

I had wanted to see this movie, mainly because of the cast. In this film, you have the appeal of Viggo Mortenson from the Lord of the Rings movies, and Omar Sharif, best known for his 1960's classic films. But what... Full review

Three months were spent searching for the right horse (and four doubles) to play Hidalgo and the uniquely marked T.J. (selected from more than 100 horses) is perfect.
A magnificent story about a man and a horse, Hidalgo has the dash of Indiana Jones combined with the visual epic splendour of Lawrence of Arabia.

Hidalgo is a great action movie.
This movie was very good and it was hardly PG-13 and should have been PG!
This movie was good!
But if this movie is good for your child, it will be fun for all of you to watch!

The plot is full of as many pitfalls as one of the old-time serials, but Mortenson and his horse (five were actually used for Hidalgo) are likable enough to shoulder the load.
With "Hidalgo," Touchstone whisks us back to that era when cowboys were synonymous with adventure and romance--not necessarily the female kind, but certainly the whiz-bang dime-novel variety.

a work fiction I thought it was a pretty good movie
Hidalgo, quite frankly doesn't stand a chance.
The Directive This is an enjoyable movie and think it's worth watching.
I loved seeing Omar Sharif back in the thick of things.

Hidalgo is a fair-to-middlin' movie that could've been much better with three changes: more editing (133 minutes was sheer torture ), less incredulousness, and, let's face it, a more interesting topic.
Though his (I assume) skills were great fun to watch, the stuff the horse playing Hidalgo was made to do in character , made me roll my eyes with disbelief; especially near the end.
