Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 10/23/2004
2.5/4
The final race is botched by so many parallel story lines that we lose track of where the stallion stands in the race. And the movie is sometimes so overcome by its own beauty that it forgets to be about anything. Go to Full Review Diego Galán El Pais (Spain) 09/03/2019

Lisa Z. @bluegiraffe457 Jun 8 This movie isn’t as good as its predecessor, but I think I enjoyed it more. The desert scenes are beautifully shot, and the story is more interesting. Plus you get to see a lot more gorgeous horses. The end race is a ton of fun to watch. See more thiago S @Thiagostone Mar 8 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more 11/30/2023 Even though Mickey Rooney was not in this one, it was still a really good show. And yes I Recommend it, James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, November 29, 2023 See more Kevin R @RT63212569 01/20/2023 Loved this movie when I was a kid. See more 11/23/2018 Not as good as its predecessor, but still very enjoyable and beautiful to watch with terrific performances. A highly underappreciated movie, in my humble opinion. See more 01/18/2017 Felt like an unnecessary sequel with boy travelling from NY to Casablanca and surrounding desert to retrieve the stolen Black Stallion. Unfamiliar with culture and language and several near death experiences does nothing to deter this youngster. See more Read all reviews
