You Know You Want One

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2010)

Okay, let's get it over with: That arena is the Thunderdome, the water landscape is from "The Incredibles," the monster dragon at the end first came to eat Andromeda in "Clash of The Titans," and Toothless is (Lilo and) Stitch in black leather, right down to the funny flat feet and claws (DON't TELL Disney!!). Just for starters. Let's call them "tributes," to avoid a trademark fight.
But if a film geek like me can watch this thing through once, again with the commentary, and then the ending again just because I didn't want to lose the evening's groove, then you need to get the DVD, too.
No, it's not the 3-D version. It's the version you can stop and reverse to re-hear some very fun dialog.
So I can't resist any film with bagpipes and ancestral Scots accents and hints of the folk tune "Barbara Allen," and editors smart enough to know when to turn the !#$!! music track off.
Dare you to watch this and not want one of those dragons, with their beautiful fish/bird/dinosaur anatomies and moves, for your very own.
Catch Pete Postelwaithe's face as the model for the Dad's.
We might watch it again tonight, too....
