From Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind the acclaimed HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON trilogy, comes a stunning live-action re-imagining of the film that launched the beloved franchise. With the release of this movie I learned that this is a series of books written by Cressida (cool name) Cowell.

While I enjoyed getting to see Gerard Butler dressed up in the ‘viking’ garb (real Vikings didn’t wear horned helmets) and getting to see the characters truly come to life. There were parts I felt like were missing when it delt with Toothless. Little nuances. I always swore whoever came up with Toothless had to have known my cat Sully (at the time the original came out) as they were both black, had the same personality, cheeky, goofy etc the big soulful eyes and I was quite disappointed I didn’t see those parts in this movie. Sully passed in 2018 and I couldn’t bare to watch the last one for some time. But if the parts are in this that I said Toothless is like Sully, does that mean I’m starting to forget her ways?

Aside from that bit of personal stuff about the movie I believe It was a spot on remake of the animated original, however I think I like the animated one better. I think some things transformed to ‘real life’ better than others in this.
