How To Train Your Dragon (2025 film) |
Written and directed by three-time Academy Award nominee Dean De Blois, who wrote and directed the animated trilogy, the live-action movie adaptation brings a bold new perspective to the story that started it all.
Fans should be familiar about this story just like its animated counterpart. It's about Hiccup, the son of a ruthless Viking chief, whose clumsiness jeopardizes all of Berk. One day, Hiccup made a fateful encounter with a mysterious Night Fury Dragon who has trouble flying. He named the Night Fury Dragon Toothless. The bond between Hiccup and Toothless will forever change the course of Berk.
First impressions weren't really as what we hoped for because it feels barbaric. It has some Game of Thrones vibe into it or that one TV show about Vikings. Despite all that, this movie stays true to its roots, especially Toothless. Toothless looks and feels just like its cartoon counterpart and so is his iconic growls. It still delivers that heartwarming and enjoyable moments you would expect from the world of Dragons.
Although barbaric in nature, this is one of the must-watch films of the summer season. An epic and emotional rollecoaster ride from start to finish. What a way to celebrate a decade of the How To Train Your Dragon franchise.
