This was so good. This is what I want out of every live action remake that is ever made ever again. The original movies were the greatest creations of all time in my opinion. They were my whole childhood, and my standards walking into the theatre to see this movie were EXTREMELY high. Somehow, the movie still blew past them. Dreamworks has totally raised the bar. I had chills almost the entire movie and was tearing up and crying throughout. From the hand thing, to test drive, to romantic flight, to the final battle. It was so beautiful. The dragons were perfect. While at first I was worried about the casting (twins and Astrid especially), the actors did such amazing jobs and the personalities of the characters were matched so so so well. The visuals were epic. Some scenes from the OG were missing but I'm sure they'll appear in extended additions in future. I know nobody was asking for a live action remake of this movie, but after watching I understand that we needed one.
From a super fan who was so prepared to hate this movie and have my whole childhood and obsession with the HTTYD world crushed, please go watch this movie. I will be watching it again and can't wait for the sequel remakes as well. So good.
