Cómo entrenar a tu dragón

Kept true to the story. No unneeded changes. Tiny differences made it even better. THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. The actors were perfect. The CGI amazing. The story true to the original. I watched the original with my baby daughter when she was 6. Went to see it with her today and we both cried. Amazing amazing amazing. Loved every second of it.

Hicup did an excelent job playing his role.

The secondary actors were perfectly cast.

Of course they couldn't go wrong with Gerard Buttler since he was the original voice in the first place. Yet seeing him in his role was epic. There was a moment that I couldn't unsee him as Leonidas in 300.

Astrid worried me but I was pleasantly surprised and now realize how wrong I was to be worried. She was perfect for the role.

The live-action version of "How to Train Your Dragon" is simply excellent. This is how you adapt an animated classic: with respect and care. The movie stays very faithful to the original, almost identical in many scenes and emotions, yet manages to feel fresh and engaging.

The cast fits naturally with the story-they were well chosen and deliver strong performances without overdoing it. The interactions, the relationships, and the character dynamics all feel in line with the spirit of the original movie.

What impressed me most was the emotion. I genuinely felt the same feelings I had when I first watched the animated film years ago. That sense of wonder, friendship, and growth is perfectly preserved here. It's rare for a live-action remake to capture the soul of its source material, but this movie nails it.

Disney should honestly take notes from Universal Pictures and DreamWorks. This is proof that respecting the source is the real key to success in remakes. A great work, and easily one of the best live-action adaptations I've seen.

The long-awaited live-action adaptation of the beloved animated classic How to Train Your Dragon exceeds all expectations. Directed once again by Dean DeBlois and powered by John Powell's unforgettable score, the film stays about 95% true to the original story: a young Viking who forms an unlikely bond with the very creature his people are sworn to destroy.

-Highlights:

The casting is surprisingly good - I had my doubts about Hiccup and Astrid, but the actors became their characters in the best way.

The CGI is epic. Every dragon - from Toothless to the fire-covered Monstrous Nightmare - looks incredibly realistic and faithful to the animated designs.

The music hits hard emotionally. Scenes like the sand drawing, flight training, the romantic flight, and the final battle with the Alpha dragon are breathtaking.

Visually, the landscapes and Viking setting are on another level - rich, immersive, and cinematic.

-What would I change? Honestly? Nothing. This is how live-action adaptations should be done. Hollywood finally got it right (unlike certain mouse-owned franchises... 🐭👀).

-Final thoughts: This movie isn't just a tribute - it's a stunning, faithful revival of Berk's magic for a new generation. A must-watch experience on the big screen!

This movie runs mostly as the original animation. Could be said, one of the most stunning live-action remake. Graphic cool, CGI cool (like animation dragons but upgraded a bit more real), landscape sooo cool, casting fine enough, music nice, plot same as origin but I saw some minor changes that don't affect the story. Flying scene very fantastic. For emotional, beginning to middle (for me) feels a bit neutral until toothless started flying scene cuz it was the same as animation, and mid to end was a bit intense, I saw they tried emotional act at final a bit more than original. Personally, I like to see a bit dark as origin with iconic music (not as animation's) however since this is children film, I can't blame on them. Anyway and overall, I really enjoyed the film as if I saw 1st original while I was young. It brought some nostalgia back. I'm looking forward to 2nd movie. Thank you, DreamWorks!

Rarely does a remake pay homage to original, even rarer does a remake capture its heart and soul that made the characters and storyline so captivating.

How To Train Your Dragon (2025) is everything you hope for in a live action adaptation and usually don't recieve. The characters (Especcially Hiccup and Stoick) translate exceptionally well to live action and the special effects leave nothing to be desired. In many ways, this remake plays even better on the big screen than the animation ever did due to the sheer size of the set pieces and the impressively realistic dragon CGI.

The make-or-break of this film, however, was the score. Retaining John Powell's powerful, moving and emotionally resonant composition elevates this movie to a different level.

Other than some of the casting choices and acting perfomances not comparing to the original, this remake's only main flaw is that it's a remake. It's essentially a way of watching exactly the same movie but in live action, which while being its biggest flaw, also manages to be its biggest asset - Its the only remake in recent memory that one can truly claim has recaptured the magic of its source. Go see it, it may well be one of the best films you'll watch this year.
