How to Train Your Dragon

Ordered this BD movie here at amazon, was on sale and so I thought what the heck. I have seen bits and pieces of this movie from a bootleg copy to a DVD and an HD sampler showing at the displays at Sears. Didn't think it would ever be of my liking, was I ever wrong. Read the reviews at high end blu-ray sites and this is one of the best movies to showcase your home theater, (and so they say). Boy they are right! Pop this baby this morning on my PS3 and kick the sound through my Bose system. Wow! nothing short of spectacular. This movie, right to the part where Astrid was riding on the back of Toothless hugging Hiccup when she said "It's AMAZING". Well, this movie is freaking Amazing!; could be the best of the bunch. I recently bought Incredibles, Megamind, Cars, Kung-Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens, etc..- all on blu-ray! None of them comes close to this movie. From the storyline to the jaw-dropping special effects to the sound, it all comes to play. Like I said, the video quality is the best. Heck it's probably the best movie I've seen on my 63" Samsung Plasma (real movie and animated). Dreamworks outdid themselves this time on visuals; Unbelievable details. You can see every fiber on the clothing as if they were real. The characters seems like they are almost popping out of the screen but not to the point where it looks surreal. A great family film not just for kids but adults as well. The storyline will have you weeping. The special effects will have you in awe, from the characters to the high flying mystical and magical dragons. You will be thinking about this movie even after you've seen it. Trust me, I'm in the process of collecting blu-ray for my home theater. So far, this is the best both in visuals, sound, and storyline. Popping it again tonight for round 2.P.S. - I know some audiophiles out there may be thinking or bashing Bose systems. I personally like my Lifestyle 12. Served me well for over 12 years and it still kicking. Friends are still amazed at how much those little speakers sound. Thumping base and crisp mids for the dialogues in movies. I know and heard of better systems and probably need an upgrade but my motto is and always will be - If it's not broken, don't fix it! so there! hope you enjoyed this review and make sure to get the movie mentioned above. You will not regret it! Thanks amazon! =)Follow-up: Just finished watching the special features. Amazing how the characters from the story came to the big screen. The author who wrote the story is a genius. Watch that part of the special feature, just made me appreciate the movie even more. Very smart, entertaining, and feel-good movie!

Well done, great graphics, interesting, just the right amount of suspense. A movie for the entire family.

I'm a 23 year old male and even I like this movie and have recently ordered it from here. I'm a sucker for animation movies, so this was on my list to check it out. Which I did and I got to say, I loved it. When I watched the whole thing my first thought was this movie seemed a lot less generic like most movies are of today. That and well, dragons are cool no matter what age you are! The movie had almost no cliches that I can think of and felt like someone really did put some thought into this rather than basing the movie on pop culture and recycled ideas (see Shrek- I'm a Shrek fan as well, but that's what they do). There's really not a bland moment and I have a serious case of jitters where if something remotely bores me I got to go and do something else. This movie, however, achieves my attention. I can watch the movie from beginning to end without any problems.Movie Overview(In a Nutshell):I hate people giving me spoilers on the movies I'm about to watch, so I like to spare people of that myself, but here's just a little overview of the movie. Hiccup is the son of a viking leader who can't seem to impress anyone, including his father. After he takes down the baddest and fastest dragon (a Night Fury), they laugh at him, and he's sent home. Hiccup, however, has a problem with obeying and slips out the back door (literally) to check out his catch. He finds out he does catch it, but also finds out that the fear the dragons put into them is a mutual feeling amongst those they despise the most. After seeing he damaged the dragon's flying abilities, he decides to help him out, but can dragons and humans co-exist?The Likes:Hiccup is great for a few laughs, but in my opinion the comedy comes from the main dragon, Toothless. At first glance he looks like he could rip your head off, but then you will realize that he's as gentle as a cat (which is what he reminds me of). He's spunky, got's attitude, and is very intelligent. The plot is great and feels new, which is a major plus with me. I HATE generic movies and this doesn't feel like that. The ending is also pretty good as well.The Dislikes:Well, I can't really think of any to be honest, but I guess if I was to pick one it would be, I think it needs a cliffhanger. There's a planned sequel for 2014, so why not put a cliffhanger in there? Other than that, I can't think of any.Animation Domination or Animation Abomination?: Definitely Domination. I'd put this in my top 10 list of favorite animated movies.

I loved this one, part 2 and the recent non-animated remake!

This was a wonderful movie I love it tremendously.. I didn't start watching it until a few months back knowing that there was going to be a remake of how you train your dragon and this was on sale on Amazon. I am so glad that I purchased this movie because it really truly is an amazing movie that won a bunch of awards and it was well well worth it
