How to Train Your Dragon

"Our entire family enjoyed this movie. It was funny and the flying scenes were great. The sound design was amazing. This is the first live action remake that I truly enjoyed. I'll be rewatching it at some point. A++"

"This was so much better than I could have anticipated! Of course the original is the best, but this is the best live action remake I have seen in a while."

"Just as good as the original just live action. 🔥 Don't get me wrong I don't feel the greatest about them making a live action version of everything, but I didn't mind this one."

"Woooowie! This was SO good! Even better than I expected! I mean Viking era, too!? We seen this at IMAX tonight and it was well worth it. AI wasn’t over the top—the acting!? Perfection. It was cute, funny, action-y and overall a lovely real-life adaptation! My son immediately said “this might be my favourite movie of all time” 5/5 star from us! "

"Not me acting like I've never seen this movie before crying in the theater"

"This was a pretty good movie I do wish though they cast ruffnut, fishlegs, and Astrid better but toffhnut and hiccup were cast perfectly."

" I heard about the live-action movie when the teaser was released. I expected it to be almost the same as the animated film, and it captured the same feeling as the original. There were insignificant changes that didn't alter the story from other live-action films."

"Watched this in theaters and it’s SO GOOD!! I had high hopes because of how much I enjoyed the animation, and this was just amazing. I went with my best friend, and we got toothless plushies from Build A Bear! Such good memories were made and I truly felt the emotion the same way I did with the animation. Truly amazing and I’m so happy with the casting of Mason Thames and how they got the original voice of Stoic to play Hiccup’s dad in the live action. Freaking awesome! "

"I mean… it’s the best live action I’ve ever seen, hands down. True respect for the source material, out-of-this-world casting, and breathtaking visuals. Strictly necessary? No. But once it’s here, it’s highly enjoyable. "

"Was a HTTYD remake necessary? No. Does the remake add enough to justify its existence? Probably not. But it is still an excellent film, a bright and vibrant imitation unlike the pale imitations that live-action remakes often are. In case you're wondering, this remake is ALMOST a line for line and beat for beat (if not shot for shot) remake. Everything about it is very well done, though. The lighting and cinematography are excellent. The sets are stellar. Gerard Butler, of course, reprises his role as Stoic the Vast superbly, though the rest of the cast is great, as well. The emotional scenes have a little more weight being in live action. The dragons look great, though the nightmares and gronkles lost a lot of their personality, becoming more generically reptilian. Toothless looks the best and retains a lot of his personality while looking more realistic. The more visually diverse cast raised some eyebrows when it was first announced (since the human characters are all supposed to be Vikings), but the script has the wherewithal to explain why not all the Vikings in this small Viking village look Scandinavian. I appreciate that simply because they put in the extra work to make the world make sense. And I think the willingness to do that extra work shows throughout. "
