How to Train Your Dragon review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/02/11
Hiccup is a cowardly by trying to fit in. His brave and strong father, Stoick the Vast, insults him for being so clumsy and causing trouble. Hiccup caught a dragon, a Night Fury that he named "Toothless," and discovers the real nature of this misunderstood beasts. This is a prime example of not judging a film based on a trailer. Unfortunately, I missed the 3D version, but nevertheless found the experience breathtaking in terms of animation, score and the story. It's excellence is evident from the awards it garnered and nominated. It's a story of maturation, father-son relationship, expectations, forgiveness, ending wars and trust. A few lines from the picture: Hiccup - "Everything we know about you guys.... is wrong." "We're Vikings. We have stubbornness issues." Stoick - "Either we finish them, or they'll finish us." How to Train Your Dragon is somewhat a sensational animated film more suited for mature audiences because of the action and a bit depressing conclusion.
