Great Parts, Could Have Been Better
3 out of 5 stars.
This movie had a lot going for it--Anthony Hopkins, a beautiful score and scenery, wonderful cross-country eventing scenes--but on other terms it falls quite flat. At some points Tatum O'Neal is acting very well; at other times she's not quite up to the material. Christopher Plummer and Nanette Newman are charming as John and Velvet--I particularly like John--but many of the other characters are just two-dimensional, like the student with the crush on Sarah, her riding partners, etc. Plus the romance late in the film just appears; she marries this guy after knowing him two weeks???? The quality of the film is uneven as well; sometimes it looks as if it were videotaped rather than filmed. Plus there's a big anachronism in the film: NATIONAL VELVET takes place in the 1920s! In the 1970s Velvet would have been an elderly woman and the Pi would have been dead!

Loved it
5 out of 5 stars.
I saw this movie before National Velvet, and I feel it was just as good as National Velvet! I think the ambition Sarah had was great :)

good story bad quality tape
1 out of 5 stars.
sweet story for pre-teen and teenage girls, but the sound quality was awful. popping, hissing and static throughout the video.

Great Horse Movie
5 out of 5 stars.
I love this movie. It is a must for any horse crazy girl. When I was a child I probably watched it 100 or more times. I still have the tape where it was recorded from HBO and it is close to being worn out.

One of the best horse movies ever!
5 out of 5 stars.
I love this movie. I am a great horse fan. I ride and jump, this movie was one of the reason why I started to ride. I think there aren't enough showing jumping movies, it's all racing (which is okay) This is the best movie to whatch if you love horses and showing jumping. I would love to get to that ultimate goal of competing at the olimpics. This movie is something that pushes me that extra bit further to completing that goal. I would recomend it to anyone!!!
