Honestly... I didn't expect to feel the same way I did back in 2010, but this film brought it all back.

The remake went far beyond my expectations. The casting was spot on-even though I had doubts at first, the performances felt genuine and convincing. Especially Hiccup and Astrid: I found myself reconnecting with them like it was the first time.

Visually, it's stunning. The world of Vikings and dragons feels totally believable. The direction respects the spirit of the original, while adding a more grounded and mature tone.

This isn't just a copy-it's a heartfelt experience that stands on its own.

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!

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 is my first time reviewing a movie!

English is not my native language, so excuse me my sentences!

Im go to the cinema with my both steps sons, and we just love it everything!

The actors was amazing, Gerald was perfect like a chief, hiccups fill my heart with enjoy!

The cgi 10/10 was astonishing!! All the dragons was very good well made!

The final scene was epic!

I hope that movie gain a lot of money for we get the trilogy like the animation!

I will now re-watch all then, for remember!!!

Im never be boring in any moment!

Need be watched, best ever movie from 2025 until now!! And best adaptation made!!

I think one of the problems with this current live action era is how took the original material and go: "Yep we are not doing that" and proceed to torn the story apart, but this one tastes of love for the first movie and and don't take away the magic away.

I understand that some of the cast aren't carbon copies of their animated but overall the actors are fairly good and we get to see a little more of character building for some of the kids, like Snoutloud and Astrid.

Hiccup is great and awkward like he is supposed to be, Stoic is stubborn and strong-headed, is his way or the highway and Gerald Butler delivers. I mean come on he is Stoic!

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.

You could tell by the face, the voice, the posture, the presence that Gerard Butler really really loves his character. There is just so much right energy and inveatment coming from him in every Stoick The Vast scene. Joy to watch. The rest... Hiccup. Astrid and the twins are so plastic in their approach to the characters that it's hard to take them seriously. I don't know why but they looked more _animated_ than the animation veraions. Snotlout and Fishlegs were quite forgettable.

Hookfang looks absolutely amazing. Gorgeous. Stormfly not so much. Toothless is always beautiful but honestly all of his movement felt less natural than the animation. Especially in particular moment (I would like to keep it spoiler free) which mesmerised me when I saw the animated one back in 2010 and here looked more generic rather than emotional.

Green Death looks cool if a bit lazy.

I watched the original back in 2010 and there was just magic in there. I thought the 3d was way more effective than Avatar. Was it formulaic? Yes. Was it simple? Yes. But did it have a heart? YES. And huge one at that.

I don't think this version adds anything or is in any way needed but it can be enjoyable if you overlook the plastic acting. The score is still great. And seeing Gerard Butler care so much about his character is just lovely. So I'd rather be staying on this positive note.

Hiccup is wholesome, just like in the original.

Astrid is awesome, just like in the original.

Toothless is adorable, just like in the original.

Stoic is badass, just like in the original.

The score is magnificent, just like in the original.

The directing and visuals are flat, unlike the original.

The humour is hit and miss, unlike the original

It's bloated and it drags, unlike the original.

So in a nutshell it doesn't butcher the story but I don't think it works much with the knowledge that there's already been another version. The cast is great, they ending up being the only thing which feels like it's own interpretation rather than a retread but this really felt like all of the drawbacks that come from adapting a story like this into live-action.

And worst of all: it's still probably one of the best live-action remakes we've had.

Wow.

This film was nothing short of breathtaking. How to Train Your Dragon (2025) completely exceeded my expectations - and then some. From the very first scene, I was drawn into its world, and I didn't want to leave.

The acting was absolutely spot-on - every performance felt authentic, heartfelt, and perfectly cast. The storyline was beautifully written, emotionally rich, and incredibly engaging. There wasn't a dull moment. The cinematography was stunning, with visuals that were both grand and intimate, and the background score elevated every scene, adding depth and emotion without ever feeling overpowering.

Honestly, everything about this film felt perfectly crafted. I rarely - rarely - give films a perfect score, but this one? A solid 10 out of 10. No question. It's easily the best film I've seen in 2025 so far, and possibly one of the best cinematic experiences I've had in years.

Pure perfection.

If you're planning to see just one movie this year - let it be this one.

Even though the movie is propably the best live-action adaptation it doesnt come close to the original.

There are many shots missing from the original that shows the hiccup and toothless relationship and goofiness and even his thought process and EVEN CRITICAL ONES FOR THE ENDING.

The acting is 50% as expressive (except Gerald butler) and not because the other is animation but because it was mid acting. Snotlout was cool.

They added multiple nations in the village in order to shove into your face INCLUSIVITY but i think it was supposed to be remote village forgoten from god and that was part of the PLOT IN THE NEXT MOVIES.

Generally even though it was watchable it offers a degraded quality in all aspects of the original and doesnt offer anything new in return. I dont celebrate it cause the money and time could be used in an original IP instead.

Anyone who says that it is as good as the original simply doesnt pay attention to details and its okey but for those who do , ITS NOT.

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.

When I heard they were making a 'live action' re-make of 'How to Train Your Dragon', my first thought was 'Why?'

The original cartoon is rightfully a timeless classic, what could they possibly add by making a new version?

The answer, of course, is money. There is clearly a lack of, (or lack of funding for) writers who have original stories .

Having just watched the film, I still question 'Why make it? ' and it still comes back to it's a cash grab.

There is nothing new, they have basically lifted the cartoon scene by scene into 'live action' i.e. A real person with a lot of CGI around them.

So essentially your watching an identical film to the cartoon, telling the exact same story in the exact same way. .

Mildly irritating was they had to give a little lecture on inclusivity and diversity. Stoic (Butler) did explain that all the 'tribes' of the Vikings had come together (which explained the diversity of the population).

Curiously one of the few scenes they omitted from the cartoon, was the one where Hiccup learns with the baby dragons, they don't like eels and they can be burnt by fire into their mouths.

This was an important scene, as it explains how, in many ways, Hiccup defeats the Queen. So you need to have seen the cartoon.

Don't get me wrong, the live action is a good film, CGI is impressive, the acting is good.

Again the question "Why am I seeing the exact same story again?" jars the whole viewing experience.

I would give this film a 6.5/10 It is a 'good film' just a totally unnecessary one.

Would I watch it again ? No, I would much prefer the original.

Based on the playful children's story by British author Cressida Cowell, this live action remake attempts to replicate, scene by scene, the silly yet heartfelt soul of the contemporary, animated classic (of 2010) which single handedly launched a billion-dollar franchise. This year's "How to train your Dragon" emphasizes the incredible importance of creativity in film production, as well as the freedom to execute it, as the results of this release are middling at best.

This remake's purpose is to introduce "How to train" to a new generation, but keep in mind that today's Hollywood is a far cry from what it was fifteen years ago. Directorial freedom is evaporating, replaced by the anxious and unsteady hands of producers who're enslaved to the sociopolitical demands of our times. Creativity in film has always been a gamble, and the imaginative minds behind timeless productions have all been expelled; replaced by a veritable army of social activists and statistical resources aimed at hitting quotas and complying with standards (such as DEI and ESG). In this infernal landscape of criticism and requirement, it's easier for Hollywood to play it safe. That's why this remake aims to replicate its predecessor, play by play and line for line.

This managerial decision results in a deeply cheapened experience, not only for the moviegoer but also for cast and crew. The animated release becomes THE standard by which the live action will be judged, and with no room for error, any oversight will easily be magnified. Demanding an exact replica of the 2010 classic amounts to robbing the remake's artists of their voice! Each aspect of the film loses its honesty and spontaneity: the director is handed a storyboard instead of crafting it; the cinematographer can't employ a new angle, depth, or focus; and, most importantly, the performers aren't allowed to play with their characters, develop new persona or employ spontaneity. Filming devolves into a parroting of a former magnum opus, making success not only lofty but also hollow.

As a consequence, Mason Thames fails to match the shaky prepubescence of Jay Baruchel's protagonist. Nick Frost's "Gobber" loses all of Craig Ferguson's easygoing insight, and the supporting cast can't hope to rival the daring spontaneity of legends like Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Jonah Hill, who infused their roles with boundless character. The actor's lines are rushed and dialogue isn't naturally delivered, only rehearsed, causing the comedy to fall flat. Astrid is now an angry girl boss, severely hampering her appeal, and irate remarks by Nico Parker only magnify the issue. To make matters worse, the buoyant exaggerations of animation allow for an absurd playfulness which simply can't be reproduced by live action. The decision to employ older actors SEVERELY damages the film's ability to come across to kids and diehard fans: Hiccup and his gang should be fifteen-year-olds! Snotlout is twenty-seven and the twins are in their thirties!

The upside to live action is a sense of realism which elevates the action scenes; especially dragonflight. Sets and wardrobe are astounding and the cinematography is crisp. Incredible special effects, such as a dragon covered in flames, may very well save this film. As usual, the REAL professionals of Hollywood come thru to save the day (the production crews). You'll also notice some small, authentic changes to script and performance which are more hit than miss. Regardless, this remake is a definite downgrade, and lifelong fans will especially notice. Movie studios will continue to put live action remakes to the test, most noticeably in the upcoming Harry Potter revival, which will also attempt to replicate Rowling's masterpiece to a tee.

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.

I just got out of the early screening and I feel so happy. This live-action adaptation is honestly EVERYTHING a fan could hope for - true to the spirit, respectful of the story, and with every character treated with the care they deserve.

The flying scenes... wow! I felt the same excitement I did the first time I saw it. The landscapes are absolutely breathtaking, adding so much depth and magic to every moment. And the casting? Spot on. They've really nailed it - each actor feels like a natural fit for their character.

This is how a live-action should be done: with respect, heart, and a deep love for the original material. If you're a fan, go with confidence. It will move you.

I loved it.

The trend of transitioning animated movies to live-action is on the rise these years, with Lilo & Stitch and other movies. This time, what would happen if the director who directed the same franchise in animation returned to direct the live-action version?

Dean DeBois, he's the man. The man who previously helmed the three How to Train Your Dragon movies is back to direct the live-action version of this movie. The studio has made the right decision to hand over this movie to him. Because the vision and mission he conveyed in the previous movie are suitable to be brought to the live-action format. This movie does not replicate the previous movie but adds how magical the expressions of the characters are, especially Mason Thames, who plays Hiccup. That's really seeing the animated version. He was perfect as Hiccup. While the other actors also showed their abilities in this movie.

Gerard Butler, who previously played the animated version of Stoick, continues to return for this movie? This is a cinema moment right there. He really fits back in for this movie. There are no other words.

As someone who grew up a fan of the original HTTYD films, watching the live-action adaptation was an emotional experience. It truly is amazing to see a childhood story brought to life with such realistic visuals, an incredible soundtrack, and a very good performance by the cast.

The quality of the cinematography and CGI is top, bringing the scenes from the original movie to what you'd imagine in your dreams after watching it as a kid. Hiccup's character is incredibly well cast. The actor, like the rest of the cast, transmit the same feelings as the characters in the original trilogy.

I believe they've done an amazing job bringing this story to new generations. I'm happy I got the chance to experience it on the big screen after 15 years.

I have never seen the original animated trilogy, so this review will not be a comparison. I am also an adult who doesn't normally go for family movies. Having said that, this is about as good as they come. My subjective rating is seven stars, but if I were to scale it "for a family movie," it would be more like nine stars.

The visuals are amazing. The flying scenes are exhilarating. Most of the comedy works. I like the cast, especially Gerard Butler. He has a couple moments that had me cracking up, as well as some serious moments where he could flex his acting talent.

The only downsides for me are (1) a slow start, but as soon as the relationship begins between Hiccup and Toothless, it was smooth sailing. And (2) the whole "we're untrained vikings joking around while fighting dragons that will murder us" probably works better in the animated version. It makes it feel unserious in live action. But to my surprise, that dissipates as the movie goes on. There are major stakes, serious moments, and high intensity later in the movie. It borders on epic.

I had an awesome time with this movie. If you are looking for a family movie, this is a must see, especially in IMAX since it has an expanded aspect ratio on IMAX screens.

(1 viewing, early screening IMAX 6/11/2025)

How to Train Your Dragon is an incredibly faithful remake where every change it makes is subtle and avoids having disastrous consequences for the original narrative. The heart of the story is intact and it mostly understands when to change a few things so they work better in live action as well as keeping the best moments virtually the same. It is comfortably better than nearly all of Disney's live action remakes in the last decade and easily ranks as one of the best ones ever made.

Mason Thames is perfectly cast as Hiccup, simultaneously delivering almost every single line in a spot on fashion whilst making the role his own and ensuring his bond with Toothless is believable. Gerard Butler rightfully returns to the role of Stoic with an even greater gusto and emotional heft somehow. Nico Parker benefits the most from the new material so her Astrid has slightly more depth and the same level of determination. Nick Frost also makes the role his own and feels like the right choice for the character.

Original co-director Dean DeBlois helming this one in his live action directorial debut makes it feel more like a director's cut of its animated predecessor. His involvement imbues the film with so much warmth and ensures it retains a strong pace despite being half an hour longer now. Bill Pope's cinematography makes all the flying scenes suitably thrilling again and the CGI is really good for the most part. John Powell's score remains absolutely faultless and a big reason for why this works as well as it does.

The Live-Action HTTYD was very good, not as great as the original but they really justify some scenes.

The only problem for this one is the pacing was off, the acting was mid and being a cash grab itself as a movie.

But i'm glad it's becoming popular again since The Hidden World back in 2019.

I know some people are gonna hate me for this but we can have different opinions.

This remake is still way, way, WAAAAAAY better than Disney's recent Live-Action remakes. Snow White was disappointing but Lilo and Stitch was a little improvement but this remake is still better in every way.

This is a 7/10.

Just Got Out of a Screening of How To Train Your Dragon.

I never saw the original film, so I don't know if it's a shot for shot remake of the 2010 version. If it's not/or is, and you make that an issue for yourself, then you probably won't like the film.

I really enjoyed the Film, from moment to moment, it was fun to watch

🎉 - The Characters were fun

🎉 - The Vibe of the Film was Fun

😳 - The Scale of the Final Battle was Amazing.

It's a great watch and a fun adventure from beginning to end. It also has some emotional moments.

If you want a good time at the cinema, go and watch how to Train your Dragon 2025.

Overall, it delivered.

Saw this opening weekend in 4DX (3D). I was hoping to get the feeling I got from the original, but with the added 4DX experience. It was worth seeing... once, but I'd rather watch the original. This was almost a scene for scene remake, but with less emotion. Like when you use a copy machine. It's not quite the same quality as the original. There were some changes to a particular character that caused some controversy, but honestly, it didn't take away from the plot and it was done tastefully and logically. Her lack of acting ability, however, did make me take note of why I didn't like her. That being said, it's still better than 99% of Disney's attempts.

*spoiler free review* It's basically a copy and paste of the original. Will kids enjoy it? Yes. But the acting is terrible. Almost none of anyone's line had any emotion to them, it was just like they were reciting what they were told to say. I hated the choice of all actors but Stoic and Hiccup. There are some changes in dialogue and a few added story elements, but none of it was needed. A scene was cut which I think was an important one. Just watch the original. Also, it's 2025! Why does it seem like CGI is getting worse? Some of the scenes had items that SHOULD have been actual items but it's very obvious they were CGI.

Adrenaline, a very beautiful atmosphere, very good acting, but Astrid is not what I expected in animated films. But I liked it, and I recommend you all watch it! The effects were very good, especially the main dragon is very cool. But that Astrid is just not like in the original film, I think the film could have been made even better. But the most interesting thing are the dragons, they are done very beautifully and in detail, which is very attractive. But as I said above, I suggest you watch it and evaluate it for yourself, for me it was worth it to a large extent.

But overall the characters were very good.
