The Red Pony (1973 TV Movie)
6/10
Having never read the book. This isn't a great movie but not bad because of the acting.

Warning: Spoilers
My is Clint Howard young in this (came out the year my parents married. ) (and Ron and Clint's dad is in this. ) Didn't have an issue with the acting in the movie. Story was rather well done until 2 things. 1 . The Red Pony is an extremely minor character in this movie. 2. The old Mexican guy left a massive Plot whole in the movie. Nobody could tell if he was a horse thief and a minor attempt was made to look for the horse. Yeah I'm sure Henry's character was asking for that. But it was still a plot ouch hole. Went confusing after that and a rushed up ending. 80 % of the movie was good but it went down hill like a loaded rock after that :( Don't know why either. It seemed like a good movie but after the minor player of the namesake goes away , you never really get the feeling the boy was attached to that Pony. It was more or less forced on him. This is a one only watch. Can't imagine seeing this film ever again.

Quality: 9/10 , almost all on the acting Entertainment: 4/10 Re-Playable: 2/10
