| As I watch actor Viggo Mortensen in this film, I
can't but think about his participation in the
"The Lord of the Rings". And thus I can't really
focus on his character in this film, an
introspective yet lost soul, without thinking
about his role as...more |

| Hidalgo Review |
| by Matt Noller (Rating: 2.5/4) |
| It purports to tell the story of Frank T. Hopkins, based on the man's
"autobiographies." But the writings are questionable at best, and the race
detailed within them, Great Horse Race of the Bedouin, seems never to have
existed. Why, then, is Disney...more |

languages in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Viggo Mortensen leaps back into
our cumulative hearts in Hidalgo, the new Disneyfied story of Frank T.

"Hidalgo" is a walloping, thrilling triumph-over-adversity tale, even

| Rarely has a horse race movie been so lethargic. HIDALGO is certainly no

inspired by a true...more |
