A Toothless Tale About "Toothless" The Dragon

Rating: 4/10 (23 August 2015)

Yes. Because this was, indeed, a "kiddies" picture, I honestly did try to cut it some slack.... But, with that said - I ask you - Isn't it just like Dreamworks Studios (as is so with Disney Studios) to take a fantastic, ferociously destructive, mythical beast (such as a dragon) and (get this!) reduce it to being just a passive, toothless plaything?
Yep. And, so now that the Vikings (thanks to the misfit named Hiccup) no longer have any fear of dragons (who are now as gentle as baby lambs), then, I guess, they can all return to slaughtering each other with full gusto.
And, speaking about the Vikings - This animated, CGI spectacle made it very clear that if one was such a person (as a Viking) that automatically excused all stupid behaviour - 'Cause, believe me, these people of Nordic ancestry (in this story) certainly strove to embrace stupidity in everything they did.
Anyway - At a running time of 1 hour and 40 minutes, this film (from an adult's perspective) literally screamed out at the top of its lungs for some serious editing. It really did.
