Would of been better if it was standalone

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.

Well, my kids enjoyed it.

They didn't want to watch it when I first put it on but were gripped right to the end. Entertained kids = happy parents.

Firedrake

On Netflix it has a different title. Watched with my toddler, he's obsessed with dinosaurs & loves dragons, so I picked this for us on our Friday Night Movie Night. It was a cute film.

Basic

The story was very basic and unoriginal. It did not give sufficient time at the beginning of the film to introduce the main characters, so you never feel an emotional connection, before they set of on their routine adventure. The humour is not funny. CGI of the landscapes looks good but the character's human faces are average. Kids under 8 will be fine with it, but kids upwards might not enjoy it much.

Repeat of how horrible humans are

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

Trivia
Thomas Brodie-Sangster never met the cast while filming this movie.

Goofs
In the film, a basilisk is paralysed by seeing its own reflection in a mirror. However, the glare of a basilisk would also paralyse any creature that it set eyes on, so the heroes of the film would have been paralysed the moment the basilisk discovers them.
