Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2016)

Original Score: 3.5/4, Movie: **** (4/5), Quality: **** (4/5)
Creating a film with such an inventive (and cool) concept that will be both enjoyable and meaningful to watch, that will enthrall kids from all around the world with its breathtaking scenery, soaring music and above all: It's story. I'll state that the greatness of the film is its story telling. You may notice the visual and verbal storytelling. Both from Hiccup narrating and on screen animation which includes what the characters do and say, and also the visual style. The film much like visual effects, tells us its story with its animation and visuals. An example is when Hiccup is reading through The Dragon Manual, in which the film introduces you to the dragons of the film.
Meanwhile, there's the story. This is the story about a Viking teenager and a fierce dragon. When the teenager captured the dragon, he was supposed to kill it. But instead he chose to let him go. Here is a moment of compassion that evokes the same feelings as The Good Dinosaur (2015) and Casablanca (1942), both of which have themes of compassion within their stories as well. Here is another film about the same theme, in which the two became good friends just like how Arlo and Spot became good friends and help each other out in The Good Dinosaur (2015). In the meantime, I wish that people would stop looking down upon a film like The Good Dinosaur (2015) and look for what the film is trying to tell them instead. Just as I hope that how critics would chose to view this film. Hey, here is a good film for kids to enjoy and learn from. At the same time they will be entertained with what the film is about: "How to train your dragon". So how do you train your dragon? Well there's no dragon in the real world here. But boy is the concept as inventive as it is entertaining. Impressing many of its audiences as well as entertaining them. It's got a world of its own, just like Star Wars (1977). However, impressing the audiences wasn't the key point of the film; it is the story of the film that is the important highlight of the film. A story that has its themes embedded within and for the audiences to find. It shows how powerful friendship is, and what they can do. Much like Jack London's Novel White Fang, which shows the relationship between Man and Wolves. (Spoiler Ahead) In the novel, in which Scott tames White Fang using love and compassion, is the same as how Hiccup tamed a mighty beast like Toothless the Night Fury. (Spoiler End). Their friendship changed the relationship between the two of them. In fact, not only between the two of them, but also between two species, that is Dragons and Humans (Vikings). Can it be any clearer? The themes of the film? Turns out all we needed is a little more of.. this. And by this I mean a better way to solve a problem. To which the problem is the pests of Berk, in which later becomes the pets of Berk instead. There's an anti-war message here.
The musical score is as dramatic as it is brilliant. Know it that the Musical score enhanced the viewing experience for the viewers of the film. But should we judge a film based upon the experience of our viewing? Yep, but not how much we enjoyed it in my opinion. I didn't enjoy myself upon my viewing of the film, though I find the writing very good. The storytelling brilliant, the themes present, some humor (though I don't like rude humor) there and lyricism is there too. I'll state an example of lyricism: The scene where Hiccup and Toothless get along and become friends, accompanied by the theme that plays within the scene, isn't that just both wonderful and lyrical (But not verbal) storytelling?
As I have stated above, I didn't enjoy myself during my viewing of the film. But here's a film that's devoid of bad language, bad content and many of the other stuff that adults often want. Unlike The Social Network (2010), which contains a lot of adult content, this one entertains children well. Just think: Wouldn't we prefer this harmless one rather than an entertaining but harmful one? This one perhaps is even more memorable than The Social Network (2010). Which one do you prefer? I prefer the one that can teach and entertain rather than the one that only entertains with the bad stuff. Now, perhaps during my viewing of The Social Network I was reminded of how smart the dialogue was, it can let you enjoy yourself, but that's just that. But for How to Train Your Dragon (2010)? It'll teach you a deep message while letting you enjoy yourself too.
Hiccup is different from the other Vikings in the film, and he was looked down upon by many of the villagers of Berk. But then he changed not only his bad habits and bad behavior, but also the whole Dragon problem at Berk. We aren't supposed to look down upon anyone, no matter who they are. Instead we should respect them, no matter what they are.
People will realize that this film is both memorable and breathtaking to watch, and they will see for themselves what greatness this film has.
