Review:

The live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon delivers a visually breathtaking experience that stays remarkably faithful to the beloved 2010 animated classic. With impressive CGI, especially in the rendering of dragons, and heartfelt performances—particularly from Mason Thames as Hiccup and Gerard Butler reprising his role as Stoick—the film captures the emotional depth of the original story. However, while the movie excels in spectacle and nostalgia, it occasionally falters with a lack of originality, offering few new surprises for longtime fans. Despite its predictability, it remains an emotionally resonant and family-friendly adventure that soars when it leans into the bond between Hiccup and Toothless.
