Before I begin this review, I decide to take this opportunity to give you my opinion on 3D movie viewing. I hate it! I think it's the most distracting thing in a movie, and it is usually used to make people not realize how stupid a movie is. Granted, some movies are good, even with 3D, but its still bleeding annoying. I never watch movies in 3D, for two reasons. One, I don't have a job, so i have no money, and 3D costs more. Second, It is distracting, and you wear big goofy glasses. Anyhow, back to the review
Synopsis: How to Train Your Dragon is about a small viking boy (voiced by Tropic Thunder's Jay Baruchel), who is quite different from the whole village. This boy is constantly in the shadow of his father ( voiced by Gerard butler), the greatest dragon killer of his village.One fine night, he finally manages to find a dragon. Unfortunately, unable to kill the dragon, he quickly befriends it and starts to lead a life full of complication.
Review: I was very interested to see if Dreamworks had anything interesting to contribute, especially after their last success of Kung Fu Panda. As the movie starts, you can tell that Dreamworks has stepped things up. The animation is superb, with FANTASTIC visuals. But, as Avatar has showed us, visuals don't make a movie. Luckily, the viewer is provided with excellent story telling and great characters. The plot is as cookie cutter as it gets, and predictable too. But, because of the great characters and the humor, it proves to be appealing to both adults as well as children. 20/25
In conclusion, the movie performed well, marking it above most films with a score of 22/25. Its major downfalls was the cookie cutter plot as well as the standard background music.
