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

    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!

    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

    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.
