"This is Berk. It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three. Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have ponies or, parrots... we have... dragons."
Hiccup.

Acting; 1/2

Originality & Intention; 2/2
Final Score; 8/10
Final Word; Smart, sassy, and visually stylistic, this is a film that
everyone in the family can enjoy- and not just the kids. The various dragons
run the gamut from cute to genuinely scary, and most of the cast are expertly
played, especially Gerard Butler's emotionally stunted and grizzled Viking chief. Jay Baruchel, as Hiccup the hero, is a
little grating on the ear at first, but that fits the character well enough. So far as the plot is concerned, you'll be able to work out exactly how things are going to end within the first fifteen minutes, not that it matters- because you’ll be hooked by the quirky
characters (including Toothless, Hiccups’ charismatic scene-stealing dragon),
snappy dialogue and impressive visuals.
