Wonderful costumes and great sceneries. The plot - acceptable. The acting - poor and dull. All actors have the same tone in all situations, the same mimic, no gestures. They're like robots. No body language, no voice inflections at all. Like a drawled song. In the second half I managed to get used to those dialogues, but at the beginning they sound quite ridiculous. And fake. Not one natural reaction or conversation in the entire movie. Maybe this is because of the way people were back then - very calculated and calm. But there are several ways of being calculated and I think the characters chose the wrong one.

Wonderful, relaxing, a bit crazy. This movie is great. I can't believe how underrated it is. Normally, I'd have given it a 9, but I chose 10 to rise up it's mark a little.

The plot - twisted, crazy, chaotic. And this is exactly what makes this movie so great. The characters - I just fell in love with them. They're so witty and spiritual. At the end, I was thinking 'Oh common....no one acts like that; no one, after all that, keeps having fun; ...but actually, it would be SO nice if people were like that...'

I think beneath all the chaotic stuff that happens throughout the movie, there is a very simple idea: you just have to take life as it is and enjoy every second of it.

Loved it. They took clichés and overused ideas and made them watchable, interesting, catchy. Therefore, this is a good movie not thanks to the plot, but because of how it's coated in an innovation veil. Not the plot is what gives this animation a fresh appearance, but the details. They made dragons look so adorable, friendly and helpful, I almost forgot they're not real and started to think during the movie that I should buy me one of those.

A good distribution of the action scenes, comedy ones and emotional ones. Not too much or too little of any of these. Not a very forceful outburst of the climax, but can't complain, either.

I don't quite understand why the name of the main character is Hiccup - even though there is an explanation given at the beginning of the movie, it's not enough for me. But that's just me. These being said, I think 8 is an appropriate mark.
