Entertaining For Anyone

Rating: 8/10 (6 May 2010)

I am a twenty two year old male. Animated features are not my usual movie-going preference, but my girlfriend sometimes drags me to them. Some like Up and this movie How to Train your Dragon were very enjoyable for me.
The basic story of this movie is a young boy, Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), lives in a town of Vikings. His father (Gerard Butler) is the town leader. The town is in a constant state of readiness to fend of the attacking dragons. They fear them, train for them, and try to fight them.
Hiccup is different than all the other Vikings, fighting and killing is not his way. In the movie he catches the dreaded Night Fury dragon only to find out how friendly they can be.
The movie is full of action, the 3-D was seamlessly added in, and it is a great story of father-son love and developing friendships that people of all ages can relate to. It is funny and entertaining throughout and I would give a recommendation to anyone to go watch it. 8 out of 10.
