The new version excels because it makes its teenage protagonist deeper and more mature — and its monsters extra frightening.

That bond between Hiccup and Toothless, mostly thanks to Thames’ impressive commitment, with that Powell score thrown in for good measure? Heavens, it’s simply glorious. And just like the original, you’ll want to experience it all over again.

I really like How to Train Your Dragon. It’s one of my favourite movies. I watched it last weekend, and it was amazing! The story is about a boy called Hiccup who lives in a Viking village. Everyone in the village is afraid of dragons. One day, Hiccup finds a dragon called Toothless. At first, he is scared, but later they become good friends. Together, they try to show people that dragons are not terrible. The film is very funny and exciting. The music is brilliant, and the flying scenes are really enjoyable. The story is also a little sad in some parts, but the ending is beautiful and happy. In conclusion, this movie is great for kids and adults. It’s an enjoyable and enjoyable story. I totally recommend it!

Me encanto. Me volví a emocionar de la misma manera que la primera vez que la vi. Para algunos que halla sido un calco de la original les molesta, pero a mi me hizo feliz el acordarme de esos diálogos. Y la banda sonora sigue y seguirá siendo algo maravilloso y único.

The dragons are fine by today’s CGI standards. Toothless glistens, thankfully. Young audiences will be delighted.

No one needs a live-action remake, but ones this faithful and sweet are not the problem.

To be clear, Dragon is not the worst live-action remake this year — congrats to Snow White on holding onto that prize. It’s just a slightly distorted copy of what came before. Its best attributes are fully a credit to the original, while its worst qualities all come from the foolishness of adapting a movie that was just fine the way it was.

But having stuck the landing once (and a few more times), DeBlois doesn’t leave himself much runway to do something new and improved. This “How to Train Your Dragon” is merely longer.
Jun 9, 2025
All that’s really changed is that How to Train Your Dragon is now distinctly less charming and less playful than before, with even its pièce de résistance Toothless losing some of the cute factor (he looks real mean when he growls).

I was generally pleased with the movie and how it went.
The music was fantastic, most of the acting was great, and, again, it was overall mostly enjoyable. The CGI was very good and enjoyable, the characters were nicely designed and I enjoyed the way they interacted a lot. Now the thing I did personally find REALLY annoying were the evergoing repetitions. The first part of the movie does a great job at showing the difficulties for Hiccup with going back and forth between his situations, but it's the just the same every. single. time. It slows the pacing of the movie down to what almost seems to be a halt which kind of pulled me out of the whole story.
And since all of that took so much time, I personally find that it cut the story waaayyy short of what it could've been. The rest of the movie was short scenes flashing in one after the other. A missed opportunity in my opinion, but I also understand why they did it the way they did. There was a huge lack of emtions too.
Let's just say... I wasn't very moved by the whole thing as I would have been by other movies. I wouldn't directly recommend watching it if you have other options, though I can't directly say it's bad either.

had some fun watching it when it was in some of the exciting moments but the dialogue and tone was actually kind of cringey and uncomfortable. "ASTRID"'s general performance and features actually made me abit uncomfortable as i did not enjoy a single scene with her in it as she was either scowling or giving the scene a bad look. Hiccup performed well and i was surprised by the effectiveness of some scenes that made me smile and feel something. Its a movie that if you dont feel too invested in it can be good background noise as it does have 3-4 good action scenes.

This is the first movie I went to see in a very long time. I thought I was going in to see the orignal how to train your dragon, instead I ended up paying 30 bucks for the massive popcorn (theatre no longer sells medium) and the first 10 minutes of this atrocity.
This is not even a movie it is some half live action half ai generated garbage pretending to be a remake of one of my favorite movies. It is the first movie I ever walked out of and I would like to personally masarce everyone in hollywood.
It was that bad.
