Dragon Rider

This movie was clearly making a parody of how to train your dragon and used a lot of that in both the early story and visual jokes. I found the chemistry with both the protagonists and antagonists really funny. As well as many of the side characters' lines. All the character designs are amazing and unique, I especially liked the old dragon's design. Throughout the movie there were blink and you'd miss it visual gags to many films and tropes and it was all and all a fun film that managed to stay lighthearted when dealing with rather dark themes.

Yeah! Another story created to teach our children about how horrible humans are. Same story, regurgitated with different characters.

It's entertaining enough. My little one loves dinosaurs right now and thought that's what they were so she actually liked it. I like the voices though and nettlebeard is a pretty cool character. But some of the animation is a little outdated looking. Seems like it's be a cool book though.

From what I've seen in the comments people are calling this a rip off of how to train your dragon, Eragon, Moana. This film and story is adapted from a book written more than 2 decades ago. If these reviewers took 30 seconds to do a quick google search they would find that all of the movies that this one is "pulling ideas from" might in fact be taking ideas directly from Cornelia Funkes 'Dragon Rider'. Now this film did not do the original text justice but it is as original as a story gets and largely influences other dragon animations of the last 20 years. Unless of course you're suggesting that the author has super powers and was able to time travel, watch movies that would be released well into the future, and then pen a story about them, you people are nuts.

***Know your facts before you post them on the internet people, otherwise you just sound stupid. :)

The film by itself is actually pretty good, voice acting was good, the character designs were great, especially the antagonist's design and the humour struck accord with me. I haven't read the book but from what I've heard, it isn't as faithful to the book as everyone hoped. So if you like light comedy and beautiful visuals, I say give it a watch.
