Don't change something that isn't broken

This story makes no sense in parts, poor writing. The original was 1000 x better and the book was better still. At least they knew something about horses the people who made the original. It's just laziness & sloppiness. Everything is so dumber down now in movies. It's supposed to be geared towards horse people yet any decent horse person can see flaws in any scene. Very poor writing, directing & producing. That horse definitely is not a thorobred, colic isn't caused by or have anything to do with the lungs. How do these people get to make movies. Most movies are horribly written now. I didn't go to film school but I can make a better movie than 95% of stuff that comes out now. Where are they getting these people from?
