A movie for KIDS

Rating: 5/10 (10 November 2010)

I love a lot of modern cartoons, "Spirited Away", "Shrek", "Toy Story", "Wall-E" etc etc. I love them because they are sophisticated, have interesting, intelligent and surprising plot and love-able characters.
Unfortunately, "How to train your Dragon" has none of these. The plot is very basic and you understand exactly how it is going to turn, the general humor will appeal, no doubt, to kids, but I didn't find anything funny about it.
Still, it is watchable and you probably won't suffer from watching it. Expect it to be more on par with the likes of "Ice Age" than "Shrek", however.
