Hidalgo : 4 of 5
3.19.2004 8:20 PM \| Link	As you may know, I got to see this movie at the El Capitan theater in Los Angeles, which made the experience a real treat - lots of cheering crowds and applause. Hidalgo is a really fun movie, with just enough emotion and twists to keep it interesting, without interfering in the adventure and excitement of it all. Viggo does a great job, but I thought it was really interesting that this character is so similar to Aragorn - he's kind of a loner because of a failure (in this case, delivering the orders to an Indian slaughter), he associates himself with another race (in this case, Indians rather than Elves), he speaks another language, and so on! The race across the desert was really exciting, since the anticipation of making it to the next source of water was intense. There are some nice funny moments with the horse, of course, and a wonderful postlude to the story as well (even though the scene with the spirits was a little unexpected). The great theater and the fact that this is a Disney film may have clouded my judgement, but I had a great time at this movie. Labels: movies
