How to Train Your Dragon (4.5 out of 5 stars).
How to Train Your Dragon is a cute, fun, and exciting animated action fantasy film that adults and children will enjoy. The animation is beautifully done. With the story taking place in the Viking era. In a fantasy world, were a Viking village is always on defense against dragons. And an awkward growing up teen Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) feels like an outcast training to hunt dragons. Disappointed in his fathers Stoick (Gerard Butler) eyes. Hiccup comes across a night fury dragon named Toothless with an injured wing. He helps the dragon and learns the techniques to befriend with it. Hiccup soon learns the truth that the dragons are not really the real threat that opposes towards the people.
It has a cute inspiring plot. Hiccup is that one character that feels like an outsider to his village. Every one is a brute and tough. And he is that type of character that just does not fit in. When he learns the ways to become friends with a dragon. Even making the dragons feel like a dog with the spots to rub and calm the dragon down. It was a lot of fun seeing Hiccup and other kids training to fight against dragons. It becomes a competition with Astrid (America Ferrera), which Hiccup has a crush on.
The animation is fantastic. It is colorful, and visually exciting. The sequences with Hiccup flying with Toothless was breathtaking. It matches up to the sequence with Jake flying one of those dinosaur looking birds from the movie Avatar. When the Viking villagers and Hiccup comes across a big monstrous bad dragon that is loose in the climax and wrecking havoc. It was a fantastic climatic battle with Hiccup and Toothless against the bad dragon.
Overall, How to Train Your Dragon is a really good family fantasy film which kids and adults will enjoy. It has plenty of action, the plot is cute and inspiring, and the animation is beyond fantastic.
