How to Train Your Dragon

year: 2010
director: dead deblois and chris sanders
starring: (voice work of course) jay baruchel, gerard butler, craig ferguson, america ferrera, jonah hill, and christoher mintz-plasse

first things first: isn't it odd to see see three people doing voice work who are known for raunchy comedies all in the same film? (baruchel, hill and plasse) but i guess it's the norm for raunchy comedy stars to do voicework for children's movies (a la denis leary in the Ice Age films), but it still seems oddly funny to me how that works out

anyway, great film. i mean GREAT film!

i will have to rewatch this tomorrow because i was super tired and the gf had the volume too damn low for dialogue to be heard super well, but let's face it: an animated movie can only go in so many directions. so it's not like i missed much in terms of dialogue. you could have this on mute and figure it out. some may see that as "cheap" but i think it's great story telling since some kids won't be paying attention to the dialogue.

and how could they!

looks at those visuals!

OUTSTANDING!

i was actually surprised - story wise - that the film's characters
[Show spoiler]hunt dragons
. i didn't know that. i thought that the film was about
[Show spoiler]finding your own special dragon or something
, not that the vikings
[Show spoiler]hunt them
and that hiccup
[Show spoiler]bonds with one, unlike his father and countrymen
. so that was neat to discover.

i really only have two small issues with the film that honestly, aren't issues at all:

1) the very generic story. now, by this i don't mean that the movie is generic for dragons or anything like that, i mean "main character isn't like everyone else, forms unlikely bond with something he doesn't understand and has been taught to act different with, they bond. keep this a secret because everyone will disagree. something bad happens. moments of sadness. moments of triumph. happy ending". again, not that it matters, but for as far as Dreamworks has come, this is still a pretty basic story outline that has been done to death by Pixar, Disney and Dreamworks hundreds of times before. of course, this is the first film and a sequel could definitely do something new.

2) i don't know how much of the voice work may have done this, but baruchel definitely was bad in one aspect: his voice never changed to fit what was happening. yes, he yelled, was sad, blah blah blah. but what i mean is, at times when he should have been hard to hear, tired, winded or frightened, he never sounded that way. he always sounded like he was just standing in a room recording and reading lines off the page.

there is a great special feature on Up that shows the kid who did the voice work for Russell. in the feature, in one of the scenes, Russell is winded. so the directors have the kid run around the studio for 20 seconds or so and then quick say the lines. is it perfect? no, of course not. does it fit the scene and fit in? absolutely.

again, nothing major, but it definitely kind of took me out of the world a bit to hear someone perfectly clear and normal when they're
[Show spoiler]riding on the back of dragon
when it sounds like they're sitting in a board room meeting.

on to the large amount of good stuff (no order)

+ the atmosphere! i loooooooove a great atmosphere and HTTYD delivers mightily. from the very first shot going over the ocean to the small "lands" that fill the film, you definitely got a sense of viking theme and feel. the visuals fit this well for the houses and clothes and the voice work all felt genuinely real and perfect (craig ferguson was a great choice btw )

+ lots of touching, heart warming moments.

+ very entertaining with a high dose of replay value.

+ the very best part of the film? TOOTHLESS! BY FAR!
what an absolutely wonderful character. he easily becomes one of my favorite animated characters ever created. it's hard to explain why, but he's just so awesome. he's cute, cuddly, friendly, shy and goofy, and then very quickly fierce, predatory, tough, strong and frightening. the first major scene between him and hiccup was adorable and awesome i may just have to buy a poster of him and put him above my bed

definitely a must own imo, and definitely will be one i plan on buying soon and will watch numerous times for years to come. in a lot of ways it's not the best made film, but it's an absolutely dynamite film. funny, action packed, full of adventure, a bright, colorful, vibrant world and one of the best new characters around, what's not to love?

but when it comes to "Animated Film of the Year" Toy Story 3 still takes the cake. quite easily too. but that's not a knock at all on HTTYD.

PQ: 5/5
AQ: 5/5

Its a 5/5 easily with me. Off topic but im grabbing the steelbook from fye when it comes out. See it yourself Al. There's a reason why its 5 on IMDb. and 87% (critics) 93% (regular viewers). Seeing your past reviews i expect nothing less than a 4.5/5

See prime example of downgrading a movie because of the hype. Im just sayin. If you saw Inception on the low you'd be ringing our heads off about it. Recommending it to all. IM JUST SAYIN

If the cake is good how is it a 6/10. C'mon go back and redo your review. Thank you
At this stage, it looks like it's too late to turn back on the pre-order (the suitcase edition sold out at WB Shop. I suppose I don't have to get that version, but I feel this is an opportunity I might regret missing ). Besides, what's the worst that could happen? I get stuck with a movie I don't like? Meh, it's happened before (check out the movies in my collection marked as "For Review" ).

At the worst, I expect "Inception" to be like "Avatar." Even if I'm dissapointed with the story for whatever reason, the entertainment and cinematic quality look phenomenal. And if it's anything like "The Matrix," I'll probably love it for sure (at least aesthetically).

At least I hope. I've been avoiding the hype; aside from a few commercials and a few reviews, I hardly know a darn thing about this movie. Hype can kill a good movie by blowing up expectations unreasonably and killing objectivity; look at what it did to everyone's opinion about "Avatar," the "Matrix" sequels, and any number of other movies. Lots of mixed opinions all around.

So if anything, I should thank you guys for continuing to subdue my expectations and the hype.

Agh, December can't get here fast enough!

Went into it thinking it'd be like the "Omen." Imagine my surprise when I saw Ahnold trying to literally kill Satan with a mortar gun...

Kinda silly, but still enjoyable.

The Pursuit of Happyness - 4/5

Great story, good film. Will Smith was very good, at times excellent, but the thing that bugged me was that most of the time his performance was basically Will Smith as Chris Gardner. I lost count of the times that his on screen speech was Will's normal way of speaking, instead of trying to speak like a man from 1981. There were even a few times that he used expressions that became popular well after the story's time frame. Either way, Will was very good and his son Jaden was great as well. Nothin too special, but it's a solid film nonetheless. Overall I enjoyed it a lot and I definitely recommend it.

Glad you enjoyed it! I gave it a 4.5/5 last Saturday (I think that's when I watched it) when I watched it. Going to see if my score needs to be adjusted or not when I watch my blu copy of it

I didn't really notice your second complaint. I must have been too into the movie to notice

Glad u liked it. It is a top 5-10 film for me period. I thought Will shouldve won best actor. Finally someone doesnt trash Jaden just to trash him because he is Will's son. I also thought he did a good job as a kid of a homeless father. How can u trash a lil kid and say he cant act playin that kind of roll at such a young age. Thanks for being honest man. U seen Seven Pounds yet? Got Em!!

Toy Story 3

A film some might consider the Schindler's List of the Animation genre!

I can't really disagree, it is a great film

It's sharply written with a ton of comedy, it's emotionally welling as well. With a really great innovative story, which is impressive considering it's the 3rd film in the franchise and it's been going for 15 year (I think?). Yet I still can't put my finger on something, something that holds it back in my mind, something that puts it below the bar of the previous Pixar movies. And it really bugs me, everyone loves a film, and there's a thing that keeps you from loving it as much as everyone else, yet you don't know what.

Still, a great buy

9.5/10

agreed. imo usually there is only 1 "really great 5/5" animated film a year, with some other "that was awesome, but definitely not 5/5 material". but this year is very different with TS3 and HTTYD. great stuff from both Pixar (as usual) and Dreamworks (pretty shocking, even though i am a big fan of the Ice Age films).

nothing is better than competition, so hopefully this brings us numerous greats from Dreamworks to go hand and hand with Pixar

Glad u liked it. It is a top 5-10 film for me period. I thought Will shouldve won best actor. Finally someone doesnt trash Jaden just to trash him because he is Will's son. I also thought he did a good job as a kid of a homeless father. How can u trash a lil kid and say he cant act playin that kind of roll at such a young age. Thanks for being honest man. U seen Seven Pounds yet? Got Em!!
i know this was directed at tbizzle, but Seven Pounds was / is a great film a 4.5/5 from me. another fantastic performance from Will. i've heard it's a lot like Pursuit of Happyness (mixes of extreme sadness and happiness even in bitterly sad times), with same director and star and all.

highly underrated film imo. i don't hear a lot of people talk about it or like it, which i find sad.

Yea man animated films dominated this year with two powerhouse's! Yea Pursuit and Seven have some of the same elements as far as the different emotions but obviously very different stories and films all together though. Both are excellent though. Got Em!!

That's because it isn't very good.

But seriously, I didn't care for it

Damn Diesel the more and more I see your opinion on films shows how much we disagree on them lol. Seven Pounds was great! As for that Foggy quote even he couldnt respond back to me because he knew it was a silly statement. Got Em!!
