Long ago up North on the Island of Berk the young Viking Hiccup wants to join his towns fight against the dragons that continually raid their town. However his macho father and village leader Stoik the Vast will not allow his small clumsy but inventive son to do so. Regardless Hiccup ventures out into battle and downs a mysterious Night Fury dragon with his invention but cant bring himself to kill it. Instead Hiccup and the dragon whom he dubs Toothless begin a friendship that would open up both their worlds as the observant boy learns that his people have misjudged the species. But even as the two each take flight in their own way they find that they must fight the destructive ignorance plaguing their world.
Review
I saw the trailer and I enjoyed it but I was afraid that all the good parts from the movie will be there and that will be all like it was with many films lately. That was certainly not the case. There are way better parts that were left to be discovered and I definitely congratulate the choice.
I didn't read the book so I don't know the story witch might have suffered as stories usually do from books to picture but I think a writer couldn't hope for a better image better portraits of characters especially the black dragon who one definitely falls in love with the mimic and the gestures and the face expressions so complex and real.
I agree it's not the kind of movie that makes you keep thinking too much once it's finished bot it's not meant to be. It's just lovely from the beginning to the end I really laughed and I was anxious for the characters when they suffered (and I'm 22). The film wasn't too long it didn't have stupid lines whatsoever and it put to silence the annoying child behind me from the first five minutes or so which I believe says it all.
I don't know if I will actually go to the cinema but I definitely want to see it again.
Great special effects and again a very lovely dragon.
