Water for elephants was alright; waited to see it on dvd and glad i did. christopher waltz is an excellent actor and his voice and accent are extremely unique. I'd expect to be seeing more of him in films. he does play a good bad guy. witherspoon good, not sure if she was the best for this role but she did alright at best. pattinson, good choice, so handsome, and glad to see him in movies other than twilight franchise. he was a good pick for this role. interesting story line, tugs at the heart a bit, especially with the animals. decent saturday late afternoon or sunday evening movie to watch.

This movie is a true wonder, a real in-depth look at circus life back in the 1930s, and a very talented cast. The story is delivered beautiful, and the actors including Rosy the elephant were superb. Five stars, will watch again, and will buy the DVD :)

The movie and story was great. The casting was off. Christoph Walz was amazing as usual and Reese Witherspoon was great. Pattinson was miscast. Good with the animals but definitely not a leading man and definitely too young for Reese and not as sensual or exciting. No chemistry with Reese but did have with the elephant. Still can't see what the young girls see in him. I so wanted Matt Damon or an actor a little older and debonair to have the role. The story and animals and Walz were really great and worth seeing.

Beautiful movie, great job by Rob, Reese and Christoph and OMG!! Rosie, she is a hero :)

Saw it opening afternoon. It was a touching movie.. parts hard to watch but it was very good, well acted. Story moved well, even my 15 year old son was impressed with it. I would highly recommend it!
