1.5/4  Seabiscuit Quick Review
Wow, could a horse movie be even more boring. I understand they have been horse racing for along time, but they wonder why no one follows it after a triple crown winner is not possible. I would say stay away, but you should try it.

5/5 An good one
  by Barb in LA (Alabama)
Seabiscuit was a great horse - few would argue that. This movie does an excellent job of presenting the story of the people surrounding Seabiscuit and then showing how the rather mismatched crew made it all work so well. Wonderful characters, thrilling horse races and a feel-good ending - I watch it whenever it's dreary outside or when I just need a lift. It has become my favorite movie.

5/5 Vivid Characters / Great Story
  by David X. Droski (Baltimore, MD USA)
One of my all time favorites. This is a great American story that transcends any interest in horse racing. Narrated in a simple straightforward manner as if you were hearing it from a neighbor who was there. Tremendous highs and devastating lows. Visually beautiful. I can imagine this is the kind of movie Blu-Ray was made for.
Note for Families: some random language (not much and I felt was (mostly) appropriate to scene), one scene with brief female (top) nudity (blurred) and two scenes with sports violence (boxing) and horse riding accident (scene with "will you breeze my horse?"). Also suggest reading book for more story and character development.
Enjoy!

5/5 A Gate-to-Wire Winner
  by Mr. Richard D. Coreno (Berea, Ohio USA)
With a wonderful cast, a meticulous script and an eternal story of battling against great odds, Seabiscuit is about as perfect as a movie can get.

Writer-director Gary Ross allows this inspirational to develop on and off the track, the a real gem is the racing sequences, which place the viewer in the saddle of this oftentimes very rugged & brutal sport. The final race scene - as Seabiscuit takes aim for one more glorious victory - is worth the price of this two-CD set.

Of particular interest in the additional material is the complete footage of the match-race between The Biscuit and War Admiral.

This is an outstanding set which provides additional insight into the development of the film and why The Biscuit captured the hearts of a nation so many years ago and continues to captivate fans in the 21st Century.



5/5 An Equine Rocky. What a great 'tail', I LOVED IT!!!
  by Marvella (United States)
Sensitive, heartfelt and heartwarming yet not maudling or corny. This is one great Hollywood epic for everyone who roots for the underdog, er. . .horse. Seabiscuit is an Equine "Rocky" for sure. It may have you tearing up at times, but that's not bad in this case. It's a great story and there's a happy ending too. What more could anyone want? Wish that horse were still around.

1/5 DON'T BOTHER WITH 2 DISC SET!!!

Seabiscuit is a good addition to your DVD library, but save the extra money and buy the single disc. I feel taken by the 2 disc set. The only real addition is the Match Race footage which is only a few minutes. The Winner's Circle, HBO First Look and True Story are all re-edits of the interviews and commentaries on the first disc. It's too bad that the studio did this because I will never pay for extra features again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
