I genuinely dislike this movie so much. Anyone who has read the books will be sorely disappointed with this.
The entire storyline has fallen apart, I hate how they designed the characters and not to mention most of the characters that are mentioned for the main part aren't even in the books.
It's like they just took the idea of dragons and completely made their own spinoff show about it which looks nothing like the original.
I'm absolutely appalled that this has a 4.9 review...
But let's start breaking this entire mess into more sizeable chunks so you get an idea of what you're in for if you decide to watch this movie.
First of all, the plot.
I have absolutely no idea about how the plot has come to this and it has none of Cressida Cowell's storyline or charm.
Second, they completely wiped off few of the main characters in the story, important to Hiccup's character development, or either altered them into something I can't even recognize.
I though Fishlegs was supposed to be a small, scrawny, anxious boy instead of an oversized oaf with a moustache?
And what about Toothless? Wasn't he a tiny green dragon rather than an absolutely huge dark dragon?
They didn't even acknowledge Camicazi's presence and instead replaced her with a sloppy, oh-so-independant brat called Astrid who would go on to be Hiccup's love interest in the story.
I have nothing against love stories but this story was supposed to be about being a hero the hard way instead of a soppy love story.
To all the people saying this was an absolutely life changing and amazing experience of them: y'all have no taste when it comes to movies.
Please don't watch this pathetic, poorly made cashgrab story, you'll be doing yourself a favour.
