While I've always complained how the Disney live actions change so much and I just wanted live actions to be true to the original, it turns out staying totally true to the original is not great either. This movie was scene by scene, line by line, same as the original, which made it kind of boring and felt pointless. While I enjoyed it more than Disney's live action remakes, it felt like a reenactment that just wasn't as good as the original. Like why would I bother watching this version when I can watch the original that's basically the same and better? Plus, the portrayal of Astrid fell pretty flat. In an effort to portray Astrid as tough, the actress totally lost Astrid's expressiveness shown in the original, which was necessary to make the character interesting and show growth. And I didn't feel much chemistry between Astrid and Hiccup because of her lack of emotion too.
