stop dragon my heart around (just kidding: it's an interesting movie)

Rating: 6/10 (31 October 2017)

I first heard of "How to Train Your Dragon" around the time that it got released but didn't get around to seeing it until now. The movie itself has a plot that's similar to other movies that I've seen - the main character befriends a supposed enemy and eventually helps everyone understand that friendship is better than enmity - but I thought that as a movie it wasn't half bad. I particularly liked how Astrid has a tough side.
As for the animation, I don't really pay attention to that. In my opinion, it's not the look that matters, it's the plot. And this movie doesn't have the most original plot, but still an interesting one. It's worth seeing.
And props to the recently deceased Tom Petty, whose song title I parodied with the title of my review. I also just saw Jay Roach's "Recount" (about the 2000 US presidential election), which featured Petty's most famous song during the end credits.
