I do enjoy this second one as much as the first, I can never get enough of watching horses.
Rating:  -
This makes a good movie for some kid who just wants to see pretty horses and exciting drama, but fans of the original movie and, indeed, the books, will be bitterly disappointed. Reno's acting is pretty good, but everything else is cheesy. Alec sneaks a ride to Arabia, and after some dramatic close calls and fights in the desert and some interaction with a pretty girl, he decides...well, I won't give away the ending. Good for kids 10-13, but not anyone older or who knows horses or the book more.

The first movie was saved by fantastically beautiful cinematography and Mickey Rooney's acting.
This movie deviates so far from Walter Farley's book and while it isn't horrible, it isn't in the same class as the first.
You really have to be horse crazy to love this one.

For one thing,this movie was kind of cheesy.Yeah,it was entertaining until I read the book two years ago.The book takes place in Saudi Arabia and the movie they are in Morocco.Some of the arabic dialougue I think might be gibberish like the old Hollywood Indian languages were.Then,in the novel,Alec's mom makes him give Shetan back to Abu ja kub bin Ishak,who sees in the newspapers the photos of the match race in the original.Then, in the novel,Henry and Mr. Volence,Alec's competetor in the original,accompanies him to Saudi Arabia.Also,Raj,Alec's friend,was a houseslave to a friend of Mr. Volence,in the novel,who accompanies them acroos Arabia.Very disapointing if you are a fan of the book or is very strict on cheesy movies.

I agree with Laurel962- This movie is nothing like the original. Actually, I think the Black Stallion books are much more culture-related and celebrate the grace and beauty of Arabia. But the two idiots in this movie, the Arabian bad guys, are just stupid. It was boring, too. Also, Kelly Reno didn't do a fantastic job, either. He was much more appealing in the original Black Stallion. A good flick for little kids, but mostly it's just dirt. I only gave it 3 stars because the Black was beautiful! He did look different though, I don't think it was the Black(Cass Ole).
