TITLE: HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON

TAGLINE: NONE

RELEASED: 26TH MARCH 2010

SYNOPSIS:

Hiccup, a son of a Chief Viking village and leader of the Dragon Hunter Clan always wanted to impress his people and makes his father proud but things not always seems right for him because he (Hiccup) can't wield a sword nor a battle ax like a warrior and always gives trouble to the villagers and embarassed his father with crazy inventions and machines - claiming able to kill or hunt down dragons NOT!!!

One night, a bunch of dragons wreak havoc in the village and every vikings doing their part to stick their blade on a dragon's thick scale skin but not Hiccup under a direct strict order from his chief father to stay behind the line and repair and sharpening viking's weapon for killings.

As always, Hiccup being stubborn and brought along his invention and sucessfully shot down a mysterious dragon claimed by many 'as fast as a thunder and as dark as nightsky' - the Night Fury Dragon but no one believes and he sets out alone into the forest in search of it while his father out sailing with other warriors to the dragon's lair to end everything.

Hiccup found it but was unable to lay hands on it and thus released it free but can't fly away because of it's damaged tail. Hiccup actually cared for it and named him Toothless. Before leaving the village, his father actually placed him under the care of his trusted friend - a blacksmith and a mentor to Hiccup to train him to be a Dragon Killer but Hiccup had a potential to be a dragon tamer more than slaying them after spending freetimes with Toothless.

Will he be what his father always wanted him to be or will he break the code and all odds between the vikings and the dragons?

MY REVIEW AFTER WATCHING:

When it comes to animation movies, I always enjoyed best from Japanese anime manga, Disney's Pixar and Dreamworks Anime Pro. The latest flick by Dreamworks Production, 'How To Train Your Dragon' is a fun and laughable animation from the desk of producer from 'Madagascar' and 'Shrek'.

At first sight of it's preview months ago, I have this mixed feeling of whether to watch it or not (my interest was only 50-50 at the time) knowing it might another same old funny jokes and father and son relationship kinda feelings like other anime done by Dreamworks (if you didnt notice, Dreamworks anime stories used the same concept of 'father and son' in every animation production). Because out of movies to watch that time, I finally decided to go for it and watch.

The storyline, actions and feelings, I don't dare to say is boring nor awesome but just simply fun and quite relaxing to watch throughout the hour. I am not sure whether I got the jokes or am I tired or there's no sense of humor in me because throughout the movie, I didn't laugh at all while others are laughing! But I does enjoy watching it though.

In the end, I would still give it a go for it for 'HTTYD'. It is still fun to watch and yet I couldn't laugh it out.

PROS:

• Entertaining yet laughable
• It's cool to watch with family together as it has 'the father and son relationship' and family type of moral values to take home with
• Makes you to take up a habit of owning a pet (minus the dragon, of course)

CONS:

• Not worth the money to watch it on 3-D actually (no feelings of realistics)
• Sometimes just quite sick and tired of the same old storyline concept of 'father and son relationship' kinda animation
• Eventhough the jokes still can be digest on, I just hope there will be more funnier jokes to hear or see rather than the old school repeats (personal opinions)

RATINGS:

ddAt the end of the day after watching 'HTTYD', everyone will be bringing a smile on their face out of the cinema theatre - including me. Entertaining yet the same old style and we never get tired of it (most of them). Still watchable and worthy but not quite fancy the same idea over and over again. A slight passable rating from me - 3.5 out of 5 stars....

3.5/5 star ratings for worthy watching still but yet again same old school entertainment.
