Dragons are cool!

Hey viewers, today i'm going to tell u about one of the newest movies i've seen recently.

So we'll start my first review blog with How to Train Your Dragon. This is the classic tale of a boy (in this case named Hiccup) training a wild animal (in this case not a horse, but a dragon). Based on the children's novel by Cressida Cowell, the movie begins with showing a viking village beseiged by dragons from an unknown island shrouded by fog. The inhabitants of this village are vikings that hate dragons and consider them as pests. Driven by an unknown desire to steal food, the dragons attack the village but the vikings offer a powerful resistence against the reptile invaders.



The main characters is a young boy named Hiccup who is a different kind of viking. Struggling in a world of dragon-killing viking, he discovers that dragons are not as bad as they seem. The storyline of the movie expands showing Hiccup getting closer to dragons and training them until he becomes a dragon ambassador. At the start of the movie Hiccup hates dragons like everyone else until he fires his weapon into the sky and knocks down a relatively unknown dragon - a Night Fury. The Night Fury falls on to the island, it loses a vital piece of its tail fin and can't fly. Instead, Hiccup constructs and straps on a metal tail flap on to the dragon and then learns to fly with it and learns the ways of the dragons. Needless to say Hiccup saves the day, the vikings and their island.

I think you should see this movie while it's on 3D. Some of the best effects are when Hiccup flies with Astrid (a girl he loves who doesn't love him back to begin) on the Night Fury. You will see some amazing leaps and thrills, including the Aurora Borealis. I give this one 4.5 our of 5. There were a couple of emotional parts I didn't think were that good, but apart from that one of the best movies i've seen recently. This is JDL signing out.
