Dreamworks hits it big this time!!

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2010)

Ever since I got the chance to visit Dreamworks Studios last summer, I've been dying to see this film, and it did not disappoint! with Dreamworks animated films, its usually hit or miss with them, but HTRYD is a big success. Visually it's awesome, if you are a fan of dragons like I am your or your children should definitely enjoy this, whether or not you read the book its based on dosen't really matter, this movie is a lot of fun and the way the dragons were depicted was great.
the movie follows a pretty simple formula.. awkward weak kid who isn't like everyone else, fails at everything, and dosen't get any respect from his friends and family but ends up proving himself in another way. But here it works for the story quite well. The story isn't perfect or too deep or whatever, but I think it was just fine for what it was.
and of course I think anyone watching this, adult or child will love the main dragon character Toothless..he is basically Stitch from Lilo and Stich in dragon form, after all the writers and directors of this film also created Lilo and Stitch, but even so the dragon has his own lovable personality.
as far as what format to go see this in, I saw it in 3D because the theater I went to only offered it in 3D..but the 3D was quite enjoyable...it was more subtle and mostly just added more depth to everything which was nice..and in some scenes it really was great to look at, so I suggest seeing it in 3D, but I try seeing it earlier in the day, $9 for a early afternoon showing...yikes! SO if you are looking to be entertained go see this film, anyone should enjoy it!
