Average...

Rating: 4/10 (6 November 2010)

'How To Train Your Dragon' is an average fare. Though most of the people loved it and made a super-hit , I personally believe, this animation flick lacks a solid script.
'How To Train Your Dragon' is set in a mythical Viking world where a young Viking teenager aspires to follow his tribe's tradition of becoming a dragon slayer. After finally capturing his first dragon, and with his chance at finally gaining the tribe's acceptance, he finds that he no longer has the desire to kill it.
The idea is interesting, and the animation is heavenly. Where this flick falters, is it's writing, which is too predictable after a point. The final 40-minutes are been-there-seen-that, done-with-it stuff. It had the potential of becoming a terrific film, but for me, it came out as an average watch.
The characters are wonderfully voiced. Jay Baruchel in the lead role, brings in various emotions to his character, while Gerard Butler, voices wonderfully as the lead Viking.
On the whole, I have grown up watching Masterstorkes like 'The Lion King' and 'Beauty And The Beast' , I carry loads of expectations from Cartoon-Animated Cinema, and so why, I was disappointed by this one, thanks to the predictable script. Watch it if you must!
