The movie sucked! i am personally a huge fan of the original Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron, but this movie, Spirit untamed is a disgrace of the original one. in the first movie it talks about a horse who got separated from his herd and tries to go back. Along the way, Spirit gets to bond with a native American called little creek, in which we can see how the native Americans have a stronger bond with nature. Plus the original movie had the history about how the colonizer first came to America and how they try to tame the natives and the horses! And the score for the movie was mind blowing! every song singed by Brian Adam was perfectly fit to show the thoughts and the situation Spirit was in. Also the music was emotional when it had to be, like when rain got shot and Spirit was going to be taken away to be send to labor. It pulls your heart strings to the max!
But in Spirit untamed... how do i even start this, The story only focuses in a blend and generic protagonist named lucky. I mean The movie is named SPIRIT UNTAMED so it should talk about the horse! When i heard there was going to be a new spirit movie in production i was over joyed but then when the trailer came out and i saw it was based on the stupid Netflix series i was heart broken. I am sure i am not the only one who got disappointed by this. We cant even get a direct sequel to the original movie because the little girls only care about the series. And like all movies their is always that one character that has a dead parent. Nice try but this isn't Disney. And remember how the original movie had the colonizers be the bad guys, well not in this movie! Somehow spirits son likes white people now, like what the actual heck, and he likes to hang around trains when his father had terrible experiences with these two things. I didn't like the story, this would be a perfect barbie movie. About pure girl power like if i haven't seen this in other movies before. Now that i think of it, there is a barbie movie that has horses in it, i believe its called Barbie and her sisters in a pony tale. And even this barbie movie does something that this movie doesn't, It BONDS WITH THE HORSES!!! Thats so amazing that a Barbie movie does something better that a dreamworks movie cant even do. A FREAKING BARBIE MOVIE!!!!! And Lucky somehow is extremely talented because she tames Spirit just like that! Not even bonding, not one bit. Heck even little Creek had to go trough this, he had to bond with spirit. And it was a challenge, he didn't name Spirit Spirit for no reason. Spirit is the one who couldn't be tamed! Who couldn't be broken! His son is completely the opposite! he gets tamed just like that! This movie for me is a 2/10 and that's not counting the decent soundtrack
