How to tame your dragon

Rating: 5/10 (20 August 2017)

In a village of dragon-hunting vikings there is a clumsy boy who has no knack for fighting but rather for inventions. With one of these inventions, during an attack, he manages to hunt a dragon that lands some distance from the village but no one believes in him. Why? Had he lied before? The next day he finds the dragon but instead of killing it releases it, that way forming both a bond of friendship. In this way the little viking learns to tame dragons, and I find it incredibly stupid that in training classes no one realizes that he is just playing with the bugs. The story goes on with a few more conveniences, such as the love interest that seemed forced only after a little ride on the dragon's back. Some more conveniences happen that give rise to a hunt for the big giant dragon but the end of the film surprises in a sad way because the adventure cost a foot. It has good rhythm and action, but formulaic story full of clichés and stereotypes. Funny but little more.
