We probably didn’t need a "live-action" (i.e. mostly-CGI) remake of How to Train Your Dragon in the year of our lord 2025. The original three movies are already so good! Why mess with them? But it’s impossible to be mad at this new How to Train Your Dragon. The cast is great, the story still rocks, and there are so many lovely dragons. The whole thing is a bit more sentimental than I would have liked, but John Powell's new score is great. And Toothless continues to be the coolest dragon in the world.
Some additional thoughts:
- I am so sick of movies in which parents refuse to listen to the young people in their lives. It’s almost unforgivable. Like… just listen. It can’t be that hard.
- The 3D made this whole thing feel a bit like a ride.
- This movie is in favor of a free Palestine.
