An amazing masterpiece! Dreamworks back on track better than ever!

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2010)

I had seen the trailer before i went to the theaters and i had found it quite good (i actually sometimes guide myself from trailers) and worth watching, merely because i found the animation great and i loved how the dragon looked. But i didn't go to the movie theater with any other expectation. God was i amazingly surprised! I couldn't even blink because i didn't want to miss any bit from the film. It was so amazing from start to finish (yeah, from start to finish). I saw it 3d so it was cool, but it is the kind of movie that you don't even realize you have glasses on because the movie carries you with it the whole time. Amazing animation, music, characters, plot and script (yeah i mean that); it was inventive (not the usual dragon stuff). Great directing, character development, funny from time to time and actually very sad in some parts. But there's a word to say it all... EPIC. God this movie didn't lack any sense of epicness, no matter which part of it. My heart was sunken and my eyes wide open the whole film. Yeah, i'll admit the relationship father/son has occurred many times and other things, but what is completely original nowadays in films? One more thing. This film is lovely and fascinating both for kids and adults (although kids might get scared once or twice ;D). It actually has a lot of message of friendship and to take care of animals and nature overall and it is presented in a way not only kids will actually want to take care of them. The flying scenes were superb, with john Powell's score and all (i cant get the score out of my head) and the whole movie overall. But my favorite parts were all when toothless was involved. I mean, when the movie ends, no matter if you are kid or adult, you want that amazing dragon as a pet. Tothless was amazing, and his development with Hiccup is so believable that you are jealous of that friendship. Its animation was amazing and he was so beautiful with his facial expressions and all. You know what? I'll just stop, because i fell i will never finish writing. This is a completely must-see movie and i want it to win the Oscar next year (yeah toy story, you have a superior now, and i dare to say so). How to train your dragon is equally my favorite dream works movie along with shrek (i'm beginning to doubt if i don't like HTTYD more, but shrek is a classic), and makes definitely my top five animated films of all time (well, without the 2d animation) along with finding Nero, shrek 1 and 2 and ratatouille. Masterpiece. No doubt i'm buying these and watch it many times. Very good job!!
