Dragons

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!!

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!

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.

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 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!
