Film Review - How to Train your Dragon (2010)


How to Train your Dragon is the latest production from the animation arm of Dreamworks and concerns a island of Vikings who are trained to kill Dragons who attack their isle some parts of the year, but the son of one Viking voiced by Gerard Butler has other ideas.

Dragon is one of the highlights of the first third of 2010, which normally is full of forgettable pictures that studios don't want to deal with that much, Craig Ferguson steals the show in terms of the voice actor department as the teacher of the young Viking students, there are some impressive flying sequences and action scenes and surprisingly I was reminded of James Cameron's Avatar, in terms of how he begins to see the dragons and also of how events take shape at the end of the film.

All in all, this is not bad, kids and adults should find it enjoyable and Dreamworks Animation have made their first genuine hit, so a solid 3 out of 5.
