Watched War Horse last Monday, after watching the play last year. Absolutely dire film, sentimental to the point of getting in the way of actual emotional connection to the audience. Adding in the lazy historical generalisations (I.e. the implication that all of the British were "good" whilst some of the Germans were "villains"), a ridiculous plot and a lack of awesome puppetry and you're left with a resounding disappointment. Not sure why the New Yorker raved about it.
