  How to Train Your Dragon might be one of the best movies in 2010!

  by thesilentcat4

  I was very surprised with how great this movie turned out to be! How to Train Your Dragon lands itself among the animation greats with a great and exciting story, great voice acting, and a great musical score to go along with it all! This is a great movie for kids and adults, especially when I went in thinking I was going to see a child's movie. Anyone would love this film, and quite frankly I think anyone who says this movie is no good is a fool or just doesn't like the type of film so he/she shouldn't have even been watching it. Look, I'm just saying if you want to see a film like this (Kid's animation movie type) then you will really like this! If not, then don't go and come back to say it wasn't any good. Also, the marketing for this movie was down right underplaying the movie. The previews don't do this movie justice AT ALL! Once you see this film, you will see how the previews had nothing on what the actual movie is. And its great.
  
  GREAT MOVIE, GO SEE IT

  Enjoyment for older kids and adults!

  by MadMax48

  This movie provides a great story line, dialogue that isn't just for kids, incredible 3D quality, and an unexpected ending. No swearing, no sexual content, no drug or alcohol use. But...there are some pretty scary scenes that should caution parents before taking younger children. A few of the dragon scenes are close up and in your face with gnashing teeth, fire, and very fast flying sequences, so be warned. The main character goes from zero to hero, battling his own fears as he learns about dragons and their terrible secret. The mentor of this young hero is an older village blacksmith who has some incredibly funny moments and is also a wise counselor to the leader of the village. There is the typical yet funny relationship between a father who wishes his son was like the father and a son who wishes his father would see that he can't be like his father.

  Loved this movie

  by hlyberry

  I took my 3 yr old to see this movie and he loved it. He sat trhough the entire thing without talking and as soon as it was over he said he wanted to see it again. I highly recommend this movie. The story is cute and good for little ones and older ones as well. I can't wait until this comes out on DVD, so I can buy it and have it for my son to watch again.

  One of the best movies ever!

  by Ace cat

  When I saw the previews, I was sure the movie would be good, but when I saw it fo real, I was shocked. It was way better than I expected. If you are interested in dragons, vikings, wild animal bonding, lots of fighting and violence, or just any good movie, you've gotta see this movie. The cinematography was great in 3D. So this is definetely a movie anyone can enjoy!

  How To Train Your Dragon

  by toomuchsoda

  Absolutely LOVED this movie and it's special effects! The dragons were awesome and very detailed. My son is nine and we took along some friends to see the show -- both boys and girls. They all loved it! We could identify several familiar voices and had fun guessing who they were, before seeing the credits at the end of the movie. The flying scenes were a favorite among everyone, along with the simple humor and one line comments throughout the entire show. Very funny in parts and a great adventure for all ages to enjoy!

  How to Train Your Dragon

  by Skylarsmom

  Absolutely a must see! We didn't see it in 3D and still loved the movie. A sweet bond between a child and a dragon...a wonderful movie! We would see it again and again and as soon as it is available on DVD - we'll be buying it!

  One of the best cartoons in a long time!

  by manilowfan

  This movie was so entertaining from beginning to end. I saw it in 3-D, so if you can definitely do that because the flying scenes are amazing. Somewhat similar to in Avatar. I love the characters in this. Espcially the gruff old Vikings in the movie. You learn to just love them. Good for any age. There are a couple scenes of the dragons growling loudly, so if you have very little children that might startle them for a moment. But, other than that it is a very sweet movie. I really hope you go and enjoy a movie worth paying for!!

  The BEST Kids Movie of the Year!!!!!!

  by BubblePopper

  When I first saw the preview of the movie I was like,"Wow, this movie must suck so bad. Looks like garbage to me, huh?", but after watching it I was really like,"The best movie that I've wasted my money on!" This movie's very touching and nice as the main character, Hiccup, helps a dragon who's unable to fly named Toothless even if he's forbidden to get near one and just kill it, helps the poor dragon. Now, a war is near and Hiccup and Toothless will battle against a newer threat. The movie is by far THE BEST KID'S MOVIE OF THE YEAR! Dreamworks did an excellent job with the voice talent and animation. Even the black cute dragon, Toothless, is so hard to ignore, cause he's SUPER CUTE. It's by far the best comeback from Dreamworks since Shrek 2. This movie is definately worth watching and worth buying if you want to get it on DVD

  How to Train your Dragon

  by michele1099

  Good movie, but not well suited for younger kids! I took my 6 year old daughter to How to Train Your Dragon. It was very well done but very scary and way too loud for her. The dragons roared and shook the theater! There was a lot of fighting all the way to the end. Too much time spent learning how to fight the dragons and not enough time spent building the relationship between the boy and his dragon. We ended up leaving early because my daughter was afraid and worried she would have nightmares. Great movie for 10 year olds and up. Our friends with older kids stayed til the end of the movie and they said the movie ended with a good message, but it took a long time to get there.

  A Keeper

  by Skid2ddy

  The charactors are fun, the animation is fantastic and the story is typical but fresh. Lots of energy and excitement throughout. I'd buy it when it comes out.
