Hidalgo. Any good?
Just wondering how this movie is. The previews look alright, but I don't know anyone that saw it. Is the DVD a good blind buy? or a skipper?

Here's a little something:

For what it's worth, I thought it was unappreciated in theaters.

The movie is very good. I wish the disc would have had some worthy extras... the DVD is less than worth $15+. I am waiting for it to hit $10 or less. Still a very good movie worth watching.

I picked it up and watched it last night. Enjoyable. I'll rewatch it again. If you love horses then this is a definite collector DVD. Otherwise, it's good, but it is a reformulation of other similar stories and movies.

I just viewed this disc and, while an enjoyable enough film, I found that I had to manually turn the English subtitles on in order to get a translation for the "non-English" scenes. (There were at least four scenes in the movie that featured Indians and Arabs speaking in their native languages, and I really couldn't tell what was going on until I reversed back and manually enabled the English sub-titles.)
Did anybody else experience this problem? My current player is a relatively new (about 2 months old) Sony DVPNS575P .

I thought the movie was only worth the rental I did.

Activate subtitle track 06 and you should be ok.
I have to wonder, though, why the selection of this track wasn't automatic on my player?

Overall, the film is automatic must-have for any collection.

I really liked this movie. The only problem I had with it, was towards the end
That part just seemed too forced unlike the rest of the film where things were unraveling pretty naturally unlike that part I mentioned.
The cinematography was a real treat though.

The one thing I dont like about the DVD is if you want to see the featurette about the horses you need to put it in your computer to watch a MOV file about 20 min long. I hope they do a real SE some day of it. It is a fun movie to watch.
