Viewing Notes

I could write many words on Dreamworks’ latest How to Train Your Dragon (2010) but suffice it to say I’ve said all I want to say on my twitter and frankly I just don’t care anymore. Yes, I like the film. No, it’s no where close to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Yes, it has some wonderful flying sequences & touching story. No, it’s not the best Dreamworks film to date. The amount of praise I’ve seen / heard some movie bloggers / podcasters heap on this film is astounding. Seriously. Act 1 is sorely lacking and dull. Act 2 & 3 are sweet yet predictable. Animation is average. Did not see 3-D version but hear it’s the best way to view this. Lastly, thought the character models resembled Rankin & Bass designs (which I liked) but the voiceovers were meh. Good one for pet owners.

But the fact that this film is in the IMDb top 250 is ludicrous.
