My name is Tom, but you could call me whatever you want. I've been a pretty big fan of How to Train Your Dragon since I saw the movie. I feel kind of ashamed for never reading the books, but atleast I'm happy I can be a fan of this.
So yeah...
I'm terrible at writing about myself, so I'll just give you list of my favorite things about How to Train Your Dragon.
Favorite characters:
Hiccup is my favorite character. He's the first viking to not want to kill a dragon, and he's the first to fly one. He was a pure hearted character and the fact he was once the town's least favorite person only to become their most loved really shows where his character shines.
Toothless is the runner-up to Hiccup. I didn't see Toothless as just a dragon, but also as a character on his own. Toothless didn't need words to explain what he was thinking, I knew what is was right away. It's been a long time since I've seen a movie capable of doing this.
Stoick, Hiccup's dad, was my third. When I first saw Stoick on screen, I thought he would be either be the villian of the movie, or basically just a bully. As the movie went along, I found not a single ounce of hate in me. Stoick was a caring father who just not only wanted to be proud of his son, be he wanted to be able just be Hiccup's dad. The scene after Stoick realizes what Hiccup cares about dragons and refuses to fight them punched a heavy blow into me. Stoick's reaction about what had just told Hiccup a few seconds ago was brilliantly well done.
The movie is fantastic from end to finish, and gives just the right ammount of emotion into each scene. One scene in particular was when Hiccup wakes in bed at the end of the movie and finds out something horrible has happened to him. Hiccup had just the right ammoint of emotion where is made the scene devasting, yet refreshing.
The music is also top notch in my opinion. I have yet to buy the soundtrack but am planning to next week.
In the end, this movie is one of the best of 2010, and the more I watch it the more I like it. I hope to have a good time here, good enough to keep me coming back.
