How To Train Your Dragon movie review





Ahhhhhh! I just love, love How to Train Your Dragon!
-
It's a heartwarming and touching tale about the friendship of a boy (Hiccup) and a dragon (Toothless). With a side tale of acceptance from one's family and friends and a coming-of-age story. Dreamworks really outdone themselves this time round with this wonderful tale.
-
The animations are done beautifully and the flying scenes are exceptionally well-done. It may remind viewers of the scenes in Avatar. The Vikings and dragons are drawn and portray in such gorgeous tones! The cinematography here is just Wow.
-
The soundtrack is especially amazing! It incorporates the use of bagpipes and drums and has a Celtic charm to it. Kudos to John Powell!
-
I may be parroting what reviews have said about the movie but the fact is that this movie is great for everyone. So what if the theater is full of children, I'm almost an adult and love the film. I'm sure many people who have watch the movie feel the same.
-
What's too bad is that I didn't manage to watch it in 3D. Oh my! I can't help but keep harping on it. Viewers has already said again and again that the 3D experience makes it more worthwhile. I don't doubt it because without 3D, the movie is already wonderful. There is no chance of me watching it in 3D.

On Good Friday, my family decided to watch How to Train your Dragon at Marina Square. It's just too bad that there's no timing for the 3D version. My brother had tuition in the morning until 10.30am and the 3D was at 10.45am.
-
I ended up booking the 11.50am show. Since it is a animated movie, the theater saw many young children with their parents. I don't see anything wrong with going to a movie whose main audiences are young children. I thoroughly enjoy myself.
-
The storyline is deep. The characters are believable. The scenes are beautiful. The soundtrack is amazing. What's there not to like?
-
My cousin's family was too at Marina, watching Clash of the Titans 3D.
-
I figured out the reason behind the no show of How to Train your Dragon in 3D despite it opening only a week in Singapore. First, it should be the lack of 3D glasses available. Second, perhaps the screens?
-
Clash of the Titans just opened on Thursday, it's a no-brainer that the 3D slots will be reserved for it.
-
Originally, we wanted to book a bowling alley at 4pm, after they came out from their movie. But, the bowling place do not allow specific timing booking. It's on a first come first serve basis. So, in the end, we didn't play.
-
Went to Somerset @ 313. Finally, I had my MaggieMoo ice-cream! It's been so long since I wanted to try it. It's pretty nice but the portion is quite big. The others ate at SuperDog.
-
After much deciding on the place for dinner, we didn't came up with anything that justified. Therefore, we parted our ways.
-
What a non-climax way to end our day.
-
What I did not regret was watching How to Train Your Dragon. I'm so going to get it on DVD! Now, if only there's a way to watch in 3D...
