How to Train Your Dragon MOVIE REVIEW

[kurvos]

Hey, look at that - a guy without a pair of balls reviews a movie? Fascinating indeed...

[TheDom4224]

i thought that atrid was camacazi...

[anna2095]

I loved it!

[pyradragon]

i hope this film becomes a classic

[Czaja2590]

Other than Fantastic Mr. Fox, this is the best animated film I've seen in a long time.

[kingsaravia1]

This was a good movie, but there's something I don't get. Not spoiling anything, but in the movie, it takes the Hiccup a while to learn to befriend and ride the dragon. Near the end of the movie, it takes all those other kids a few minutes to learn how to ride them with no trouble at all. I don't get that at all.

[mdelar]

@kingsaravia1 That's a great point!

[Liz8D]

@mdelar The other kids don't have to control a missing tail fin.

[Shadoessa]

@kingsaravia1 granted, Hiccup had to learn all by himself and the other kids had someone to teach them.

[pyradragon]

@kingsaravia1 It's coz he had to learn on his own,but they were tought how to do it.

[CoolStuffM]

@kingsaravia1 Because hiccup had to build the whole false tail and get used to the controls, as the other kids just had to jump on a dragons back.

[kingsaravia1]

@CoolStuffM

Dude, do you know how long ago I left that freaking comment? So shut up.

[CoolStuffM]

@kingsaravia1 aw, is someone gunna cry cause I answered their question 4 months later? :'(

[kingsaravia1]

@CoolStuffM

Correction. You're the FOURTH person to answer my question 4 months later.

[CoolStuffM]

@kingsaravia1 Ah, now I see why your so angry, but still. Your kinda short tempered. No offense (even thought your gunna take some)

[kingsaravia1]

@CoolStuffM

Yeah, sorry. I still gotta work on that problem.

[JaguarsSoul]

@kingsaravia1 That's because Hiccup didn't have an experienced person with him to train Toothless. But at the end, Hiccup was already experienced. He knew exactly how to train your dragon. Those kids had him along them. And that's why they trained their dragons in a few minutes =) They had Hiccup.

[kingsaravia1]

@JaguarsSoul

WTF?! All of you ppl, stop replying to my comment! Im gettin so sick of it!

[JaguarsSoul]

@kingsaravia1 All right dude, jeez o_o How could I know that thousands of people replied on your comment? And yes, I'm too lazy to look at the commentbox. It was just unexpected >.>

[Etimos]

@kingsaravia1 Well, realizing this comment is five months old, I can explain it fairly easily. Hiccup had nobody to show him how to tame a dragon, no way of knowing in advance what would work. However, when he had learned the tricks, he WAS there to show the others. He was able to teach them, to show them how, so they didnt have to blindly stumble through

For a thousand years, ironsmiths struggled to master their method, but today, we master it easily, because we were taught, and they were not.

[Etimos]

The Scottish Accent thing is fairly easy to explain, really. Hollywood has long been under the impression that ANY european accent can be replaced by either an english or scottish accent, depending on whether the people being portrayed are supposed to be imperial and sophisticated or rugged and barbaric, respectively. Look at all movies throughout history that would otherwise be foreign-language.

Rome, Enemy at the Gates, Valkyrie, etc. Everyone is English, except for a few Americans.

[aRoseByAnyOtherName]

@kingsaravia1 Hiccup had to learn everything along the way. In the end Hiccup was there to teach the other kids. So instead of having to learn as they go, they could just be told what to do. Not to mention, Toothless was somewhat of an example to the other dragons. 'Hey the humans are okay'

[todalyweirdgirl]

@kingsaravia1 Toothless is a nightfury, and Hiccup is pioneering in dragon riding. The methods he uses are pretty easy, he's just the first one to discover them.

[reallyflasshy]

@kingsaravia1 because i guess Night fury is rare dragon ?

[Serdikhan]

HTTYD and Disney's The Little Mermaid. Two races aren't allowed to be friends, although only one race is aware of that. The big-muscle daddy finds out his child has feeling for an outsider and after an argument he leaves him/her not caring where (s)he'll go or what (s)he'll do. We have a climax battle with a giant female creature. Then we have a happy ending and the main protagonist finally gets his/her love interest. Ha, see what I did there

[AangelKataang]

yeaaah! Awesome review :D

However, I saw the movie in Latin Spanish, i'm from Mexico :)

I loved the movie, Hiccup was amazing, and his dragon, Toothless, was soo cute. I also love the story line, and the ending :D

[Serdikhan]

Okay. I've released my Hungarian Horntail dragon.

[Serdikhan]

Don't they mean from the creators of "Lilo and Stitch"

[WHUT3]

i wanna see it in 3D SO bad....

[MrShutUpper]

I think the accent is unimportant for a review, Unless they intentionally hired scotish voice actors, or it is just supposed to sound that way to make a mark of how vikings are like in speech. I'd give it 4.5. I enjoyed the movie, for me the only thing that made it less perfect is that the villain is a dragon, not another mythical creature, which makes the idea of 'everything-we-know-about-drag­ons-are-wrong' kinda shaky.

[ervin2]

This is the most retarded movie analysis I have ever heard.

[shadeaufax]

Woah so how did you interview the people?

[mdelar]

@shadeaufax It's for my job :)

[shadeaufax]

@mdelar Lucky!

[Blaze468]

@mdelar first off, I absolutely loved this movie. Im huge on dragons so that might be part of it, but I honestly liked this nearly as much as avatar. Also, Is your job Manny theMovieGuy, or is this just something you do because of your sources? Also, love you, respect you and hope you keep doing whatever it is you do.

[mdelar]

@Blaze468 Hi there, thanks so much! Yes, my job is being Manny the Movie Guy and I feel truly blessed...hope you visit my website and check on my About Me page...thanks again and have a great week ahead!

[Carlos2400]

@TFallspark Thank you so much! Have a great day!

[TFallspark]

[saaricr]

[MegaFlashHacker]

[saaricr]

oh i see

[Serdikhan]

Noone's better than the Bulgarian voice actors

[Zippedychick]

Such a cute movie! Craig Ferguson made all of the scenes he was in hilarious and Toothless remins me of my cat lol I want a Night Fury, so glad I saw this

[pussycatdolls107]

@Zippedychick omg me too! toothless resembled a cat most for me too =]

[Tylerd172]

Looks good but animated movies arnt really my thing

[FreezeProduct]

So you actually interview these stars ? You're awesome Manny !

Great review !

[mdelar]

Thank you :)

[NARATO0]

great review just wondering is it better to watch it in 3D

[mdelar]

Yup...watch it in 3D :)

[vivatdk65]

@mdelar great review manny 5/5 I am going to watch this movie on 3D

[skylynx2021]

This was a movie I wanted to go see before, now that seen you gave it such a high rating makes me want to see it even more.

[jasminaz02]

this film seemed a bit ''meh'' but probably will end up making a lot of money because of the imax release. when you said ''release your inner dragon' i instantly thought of that line in clash of the titans,i wonder if that film will be any good

[mdelar]

I will post my review of Clash very soon :) We'll release the Kraken :)

[Zippedychick]

im glad you liked this! I've been looking forward to it

Are you going to review The Runaways? I saw it last week and loved it :)

[mdelar]

Great! Yes, I enjoyed The Runaways too, for the same reason I enjoyed Remember Me...at least those two big Twilight stars are doing something different from the norm...and I admire them for that :)

[RevolutionReviews]

great review, Manny. I was one of the few people holding out hope for this movie but now with the stellar reviews I'm super psyched to see it.

[mdelar]

Thank you..you'll have fun! Watch it in 3D :)

[bahamut1080]

[Sarzz515]

[mdelar]

[maahem33]

[BoHoTheGoatSage]

[MrNintoku]

I would have given a four for just the trailer.  Damn assignment prevented me from seeing it on the release day.
