Pixar had tough competition...

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 2011)

It started out blaring action and it wasn't really exciting action either.You didn't really have any feel to the movie and almost seemed dull.I thought it would be just another okay Dreamworks film.Sadly, thats how half of their films are.Then,after the first ten minutes Hiccup meets Toothless and they instantly have a tight bond and it's touching,like a bond for a dog or a cat.I would have thought they would make the dragons talk and was dreading to see if i was right.They didn't though and thats what made the movie outstanding.It slowly grew the bond between them, while all the other characters are very likable too.The dragons were very interesting to look at and it was cool seeing all the many different shapes and sizes of them.The humor is funny but it doesn't focus on that as much, which i liked(Hiccup still has a burst-out loud monotone humor,though).The score is beautiful,the animation is very advanced,and it's most importantly amusing and touching (get past the very beginning). Is there anything bad about it? Not much. It is nothing like the book to all you fans of the book(i actually wonder if they read it),but i liked it a lot more.It has a better plot anyway.Did i like it more than the movie about toys that beat it at the Oscars? I would have to say no,but it is VERY close. I recommend it.
8/10
