How to Train Your Dragon

2025

★★★★½ Liked Watched

God, I'm so happy I loved How to Train Your Dragon. This is proof that it's not live-action films that are bad — it's just the way Disney is doing them that makes them bad.

«Twilight» franchise ranked.

New Moon was decisive because it either was going to lead everything to ruin or open the doors for the development of the rest of the series. And that’s exactly what happened—it served as the introduction to the second angle of the narrative’s duality, and introduced many important themes and characters going forward. It's a much better and less corny plot than the first chapter, and things start to escalate in tone. Additionally, it was far more…
