I liked the part when they took the computer generated dragons from the original and turned them into computer generated dragons

zoë rose bryantJun 11, 2025It’s not just that these type of films devalue animation (which they do, despite also relying on it heavily), it’s that they’re also actively devaluing the experiences that audiences deserve. Recycling the same stories over and over and over again puts us in a cultural…

8.4 - This is one of the hardest to rank movies I’ve seen in a loooong time. Did we need it? No, the original is a masterpiece, & it’s almost a shot for shot remake. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely, the original is a masterpiece & it’s almost a shot for shot remake. I’ve wondered with almost every…

Not nearly as bad as the disney live action, but your better off just watching the animated movie.
sevi lovedHow to Train Your Dragonmusic was PEAK, love john powell. cast was PEAK, acting was PEAK. 12/10, fantastic movie 😍😍😍
Austin Kelley dislikedHow to Train Your DragonWhile I do appreciate the how shot for shot it is, there’s no chemistry, no personality in this movie. Didn’t feel any sort of connection between Toothless and Hiccup, any of the Viking kids, or Hiccup and Stoic. Gerard Butler is always a plus though

Great movie - even better soundtrack - reminded me of my childhood. Got lots of nostalgia watching this…

zxki is "meh" onHow to Train Your DragonI understand shareholders and executives do the most to minimise risk, but it's a big-budget live-action dragon movie. That guarantees a return on investment enough, so was an almost shot-for-shot copy of a fairly recent film necessary? Regardless of what I think, the box office numbers give these…

I remember seeing the animated film in theaters 15 years ago as a teenager and to come back to see it again as an adult in live action was incredible, it was refreshing and gave nostalgia, love this movie and your family will too! can’t wait for the sequel.
EREmmanuel RodriguezIf you like the original you will love this film!
DLDonna LaytonThey did a great job with this movie. It has to be my favorite movie of all time. Clean, safe for children, exciting, excellent CGI on the dragons. Toothless as usual steals the show. Hiccup was great as well. Must see it!

It was good very true to the original just that I probably prefer the cartoon more than the live action remake it was still good just didn’t have the wow factor for me
ACAnthony Czesnowskidisney take note, DreamWorks does live action perfectly. nothing was changed it was perfect
JSjose segarraBest movies of the Summer and this year

Captured the beauty of the original perfectly! The visuals and casting was amazing, this is a must see!!
GEGarrett EllisThis is how you do a live-action remake. Can't wait for the next one.
JNJonathan NegronGreat live action conversion!!!

By preserving the core narrative, characters, and emotional arc of the original, the live-action remake remains true to its roots. Though the cast is new, the heart of Hiccup and Toothless’s friendship still soars.

The script, the gags and the action remain mostly intact. But this time around, real actors and sets become deadweight to a story that soared in larger-than-life animated form.
