Title: Not Farley's Black Stallion
Review: If you have never read the book, you may like this movie. It is good...as a movie. But as an adaptation it fails miserably. Aside from having the same name and the same characters and the basic story line (boy gets marooned on desert island with wild horse, takes horse back to NY, horse is fastest in the world) this film has nothing to do with the book. Having just read the book with my son I found that the changes made in the film to the story were not only bad but unnecessary. Most of the things we liked best about the book were taken out and exchanged for Copolla's vision.
Is the review positive or negative?
