How to Train Your Dragon - Comentarios

Is it fun to watch? OH YES, IT IS!

...doesn't breathe new life into story, but still soars.

...comparisons are going to be inevitable, so there is an onus on the work to present a reason for existing.

It’s the kind of immersive sensation and giddy wish fulfillment that might just have you forgetting momentarily to breathe and, maybe more importantly, that you’re still in a movie theater.

...more a controlled spark than a roaring blaze.

A true thrill ride, the live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake is fire (both figuratively and literally).

...it’s good enough to pull me back from the brink of demanding that all such remakes be burnt be fire.

...the remake definitely doesn't erase the original, but it can't replace it either.

...some of the flight scenes are simply breathtaking, and the big action finale is Lord of the Rings-level epic.

...it’s simply glorious. And just like the original, you’ll want to experience it all over again.
