A little boy grows up in a Viking village that's been besieged by dragons since day one. He works at the blacksmith's and has invented a few weapons, other than that he's a wimp and clutzy. While trying to help his village he ends up trapping and befriending a dragon. This leads to the boy learning all of the dragons' secrets and puts him at odds with his village.
Good flick. I was a little surprised at how the war with the dragons was portrayed. They didn't shy away from the concepts of war (death, dismemberment, etc.), but they really did it in a family friendly way. I know that sounds odd, but it's not in your face or a political statement, it's just there.
All the characters are voiced well, and the dragons are given unique personalities to set them apart. I really liked the additions to the mythology of dragons they added.
My only complaint would be that the relationships in the film seem a touch rushed.
Absolutely worth taking the kids to go see it.
8 out of 10.
How to Train Your Dragon
Excellent flick. A bit rushed at the end, it could have used another 30 minutes to make the transition of the viking/dragon dynamic a bit smoother and the resolution more satisfying. Everything else was perfect.
9 out of 10. And do I recommend the 3D on this one, it was nice.
