How to Train Your Dragon - 2025

⭐7/10

I always feel a bit guilty feeding the artistically bankrupt live-action remake machine, but alas, I am the target audience in that I'm always looking for an easy, family friendly way to pass 2 hours (in my case, with Willy and Corney). I totally acknowledge that there is zero reason for this movie to exist. The animated version was doing just fine, thank you, and this movie is such a CGI-fest that it may as well have been animated anyways. 

Still, because the movie is so faithful, it's hard to say this is a bad movie. I will also concede that there are a handful of absolutely breathtaking sequences that don't have the same thrill in animation. One in particular was outstanding and one of the coolest things I've seen. 

So that's my review. It's like How to Train Your Dragon, but slightly worse, but also in a few instances, slightly better. If you like the og, you'll like this one.
