How to Train Your Dragon (2010)



sorry for not updating any new post about movies lately peoples~ i have been quite busy with a lot of stuff... so sorry~ but today i have bring you all a new 3D animated film that was produce by DreamWorks~ How to Train Your Dragon~ directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois~ they have both been working together on Lilo and Stitch before~ which is a Disney 2D animated film~ yes~ both of them were once in Disney~ but they have move to work in Dreamworks~ anyway lets move on with the story~

story start with a boy named Hiccup that dreamed to be the strongest viking in the village called Berk~ Berk is a village that were troubled by dragons and most of the villager were dragon hunting vikings~ and all of them were buff and strong~ but then hiccup was a skinny boy that is not really good at fighting... unlike his father which is currently the strongest among all viking and was the leader in the village... so one night when the dragons attack the village again Hiccup decided to try and take out one of the mystery dragon they called the 'night fury' which was never been seen nor capture by any vikings before just to prove to his father that even with this skinny and weak body he can still be a dragon hunting viking... amazingly he manage to shoot down one of it but then no one in the village believe him... so to bring prove to the village he sneak out from his house and went finding this night fury that he have shoot down... after Hiccup found the dragon he can't bring himself to kill the dragon... so in the end he free the dragon and was planning to quite dreaming of being a dragon hunting vikings... but then when he was trying to tell his father that he give up on his dream his father insist him to take the dragon slaying class... so together with another five teenage Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs and twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut... they were trained to be a great dragon hunting viking when the adults were set sail to find the dragons nest...

when Hiccup was learning on how to kill all of the dragon... he was curious that why the night fury wasn't trying to kill him when he first free that dragon... as according to the vikings knowledge most of the dragon will attack with killing instinct... wondering around the woods coincidentally he found the night fury was trapped in a small canyon and was unable to fly properly... after Hiccup observe a little while he found out that half of that dragon tail were ripped off from the crash landing at the night Hiccup shoot it... feeling guilty and want to make things up... Hiccup slowly approach the dragon and gain its trust.. Hiccup named it Toothless because its tooth were usually hidden unless it was eating... later on Hiccup have made an artificial tail and saddle for Toothless for it to be able to fly again... but then it will only work with Hiccup help... through out their time together Hiccup found out that up till now all the knowledge that vikings know about the dragon were wrong... one day Astrid found out about Toothless but then Hiccup manage to convince her that Toothless were not danger and ask her to keep it a secret... but when all three of them were flying in the sky Toothless accidentally bring them back to its nest... and they found out about the magnificently huge dragon that was controlling all the dragon so far... and at the same time Hiccup final exam in the dragon training class were about to began...

Hiccup trying to make things between the vikings and dragons right... during his exam he decided to show to the whole village that dragon were not danger at all... but then his father can't see through it... and his was frustrated about Hiccup hiding Toothless... Hiccup accidentally mention to his father that he saw the dragon nest once... knowing that Toothless can bring them to the nest Hiccup father decided to take Toothless for the next time they set sail... Hiccup was upset that his father didn't trust him and he lose Toothless at the same time... Astrid manage to cheer him up and he decided to go and stop his father... Astrid and the rest of his classmates help him out on this... soon his father and the vikings were near at the dragon nest and was setting up for war... when his father found out about the huge dragon he regard that he didn't listen to hiccups words... trying to save the whole village he decided to play as a decoy to confuse the dragon... when the father thought that all hopes were gone Hiccup and the others shows up just in time... they free Toothless from the ship and fight the huge dragon... although at the end he lose one of his leg but then he survive and the village were now leaving in peace with the dragon... and he also get his crush Astrid... so is a happy ending...

overall this movie storyline is average i think... but what make it interesting was the way they arrange the movie is very fun and interesting... they have a lots of different dragon design that i didn't mention... and i enjoy watching this movie~ there is not a time that i found it boring... and the animation, effect, lighting, texturing and editing were all top class... it was amazing and it worth spending your money on it no matter is in 3D cinema or normal cinema~ the character design were interesting and funny as well... the dragon Toothless action was extremely cute and it act just like a combination of a dog and a cat~ plus the BGM makes it even more interesting... personally i like the part where Hiccup were trying to convince Astrid to accept Toothless until the part they found out about the dragons nest... the flow were perfect at that part... from nervous until amazed and happy until fear... it was an outstanding movie that i strongly recommended~ and overall the rating about this movie was great as well~ so remember to go and watch it~ i won't mind watching it in the cinema for the second time though~ is totally worth it... i would love to see the making of it as well~ great job to all the workers in DreamWorks~ i am looking forward to their next animation film~ =D
