You could tell by the face, the voice, the posture, the presence that Gerard Butler really really loves his character. There is just so much right energy and inveatment coming from him in every Stoick The Vast scene. Joy to watch. The rest... Hiccup. Astrid and the twins are so plastic in their approach to the characters that it's hard to take them seriously. I don't know why but they looked more _animated_ than the animation veraions. Snotlout and Fishlegs were quite forgettable.

Hookfang looks absolutely amazing. Gorgeous. Stormfly not so much. Toothless is always beautiful but honestly all of his movement felt less natural than the animation. Especially in particular moment (I would like to keep it spoiler free) which mesmerised me when I saw the animated one back in 2010 and here looked more generic rather than emotional.

Green Death looks cool if a bit lazy.

I watched the original back in 2010 and there was just magic in there. I thought the 3d was way more effective than Avatar. Was it formulaic? Yes. Was it simple? Yes. But did it have a heart? YES. And huge one at that.

I don't think this version adds anything or is in any way needed but it can be enjoyable if you overlook the plastic acting. The score is still great. And seeing Gerard Butler care so much about his character is just lovely. So I'd rather be staying on this positive note.

Kept true to the story. No unneeded changes. Tiny differences made it even better. THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. The actors were perfect. The CGI amazing. The story true to the original. I watched the original with my baby daughter when she was 6. Went to see it with her today and we both cried. Amazing amazing amazing. Loved every second of it.

Hicup did an excelent job playing his role.

The secondary actors were perfectly cast.

Of course they couldn't go wrong with Gerard Buttler since he was the original voice in the first place. Yet seeing him in his role was epic. There was a moment that I couldn't unsee him as Leonidas in 300.

Astrid worried me but I was pleasantly surprised and now realize how wrong I was to be worried. She was perfect for the role.

This movie runs mostly as the original animation. Could be said, one of the most stunning live-action remake. Graphic cool, CGI cool (like animation dragons but upgraded a bit more real), landscape sooo cool, casting fine enough, music nice, plot same as origin but I saw some minor changes that don't affect the story. Flying scene very fantastic. For emotional, beginning to middle (for me) feels a bit neutral until toothless started flying scene cuz it was the same as animation, and mid to end was a bit intense, I saw they tried emotional act at final a bit more than original. Personally, I like to see a bit dark as origin with iconic music (not as animation's) however since this is children film, I can't blame on them. Anyway and overall, I really enjoyed the film as if I saw 1st original while I was young. It brought some nostalgia back. I'm looking forward to 2nd movie. Thank you, DreamWorks!

Rarely does a remake pay homage to original, even rarer does a remake capture its heart and soul that made the characters and storyline so captivating.

How To Train Your Dragon (2025) is everything you hope for in a live action adaptation and usually don't recieve. The characters (Especcially Hiccup and Stoick) translate exceptionally well to live action and the special effects leave nothing to be desired. In many ways, this remake plays even better on the big screen than the animation ever did due to the sheer size of the set pieces and the impressively realistic dragon CGI.

The make-or-break of this film, however, was the score. Retaining John Powell's powerful, moving and emotionally resonant composition elevates this movie to a different level.

Other than some of the casting choices and acting perfomances not comparing to the original, this remake's only main flaw is that it's a remake. It's essentially a way of watching exactly the same movie but in live action, which while being its biggest flaw, also manages to be its biggest asset - Its the only remake in recent memory that one can truly claim has recaptured the magic of its source. Go see it, it may well be one of the best films you'll watch this year.
