Iโve watched the animation a long time ago and didnโt know what to expect for this live-action movie. All in all, while the plots were predictable as usual, the movie still didnโt disappoint.
What I liked about it:
1) amazing views and nature scenes
2) of course toothless! How cute his face is!!
3) the story does follow the hero formula to create that adrenaline when fighting. I know itโs a lot of CGI and it was done on purpose but it did feel good to see that. (Fast food tastes good too!)
Where I think it could be improved:
1) There were a lot of stories on the training part. Some areas, such as the dragon nest, were a bit too short. It didnโt explain enough why the queen of dragon is a threat except that it relies on small dragons to take food to her
2) Killing a big dragon at the end feels a bit cliche, especially that they realized dragons were not enemies. The plot seems a bit coerced and not organic.
3) the northern light part is a bit too cheesy and fake. We can tell itโs CGI background.
4) At the end, losing half of one leg echos toothlessโs half tail fin but it was not clearly explained.
However, overall I liked the idea of being the first of challenging the status quo. Also, courages are admired and appreciated. Everyone has strength
