And this is something he shares with show creator Esmail, who told Gizmodo:. I do hate Facebook, though I have a Facebook account. It crosses the line. Facebook has said we want your emotional and social attachments in one place and we will control it for you. They are openly asking you to give that power to them and it seems like a dangerous combination. Also, I hate that they call it fucking social media. My cousins are young and they were angry, but they were channeling that for positive change.
That to me was totally the final piece of the puzzle when I went into writing Mr. Not the case here. It is simply a gigantic drop in quality from the previous installment. Don't watch. Final note: Let me point out a to me crucial flaw in the dubbing about Grimmel, the main antagonist voiced by Oscar winner F.
Murray Abraham: I think in the original he is called Grimmel the Grisly on one occasion. In the German dub, they did not turn him into "Grimmel der Grausame", but into "Grimmel der Grizzly". I think that was very much incorrect as this man has nothing to do with a grizzly physically, but acts in the most grisly manner you could imagine on more than a few occasions.
This really should not happen to a big studio movie like this one. Shame on the translation company! A bit too obvious in what it does, and the impressive technical polish doesn't help that impression bob the moo 9 March This is the third and probably final in this film series came out with a lot of fanfare, and although it had been 5 years, I was looking forward to seeing it, and at least had a child to make it feel more justifiable to be in the cinema for it this time.
The second film was fresh in my mind and I enjoyed how it got darker and bigger than the first film, producing a quite thrilling story with real impact.
Like the first film, I didn't totally think it got below the characters to produce something deeper, but the emotion of the story and the good work from Jonsi and John Powell helped to bring a lump to the throat when needed.
This third film certainly continues the scale of the previous films, and the impressive animation and technology behind it. Battle sequences, flight sequences, the design of the world and creatures, all look and sound great. The problem with the film is that it doesn't perform well below that sweeping level, or outside of the impressive moments. The plot feels too familiar in its "dragons in danger from dragon-killing-supervillain" content, and it isn't helped that the food critic from Ratatouille isn't a patch on the alpha villain from the second one, nor that the sense of peril isn't there either.
I was also surprised how few moments touched me or made me laugh - and Jonsi's voice alone normally gets me at least a little. Only a few moments drew a laugh from the cinema audience, although there were a few more moments where it was silent and maybe a bit upset. A bit too obvious in what it does then, and not as good as the second film, but probably its technical strengths and audience investment in the characters and world help it work better than the writing deserves.
In all a solid conclusion but not the stepup that I hoped following the second film doing just that on the first. The series has run its course.
Hiccup leads a group of vigilante Vikings and dragons on raids on other Viking cities to forcefully free their dragons. Now I would have first tried a teach-in demonstrating the advantages to an integrated, dragon diverse community serving grog and beef-jerky.
Well, for some reason, the raided communities are upset and hire a Night Fury hunter to enact revenge and restore the balance of Viking lords and dragon servants. There is a legendary land to the west The first film was cute and clever, now it is like watching "Battle for the Planet of the Apes. Should finish the series unless they launch a "Next Generation. If you are into animated movies and have seen the other Dragons training instructions wait, are they?
Well made and fun to watch for the whole family. Interesting story too, which is not always the case with sequels, so there is that. Great animation and all the characters you came to love and then some new ones too.
With a quite the focus on our main dragon here, but all the dragons. Maybe even a lesson for the kids when it comes to pets?
Or animals in general? It would be nice if they got anything from this movie, except entertainiment Also love overcomes almost everything, right? Basically, a year has passed since Hiccup This Is the End's Jay Baruchel became chief, his dragon friend Toothless and their fellow dragon-riders continue to rescue captured dragons to bring them to Berk.
The village is bustling dragon and human utopia, but the island has become overpopulated with dragons. In response, Hiccup desires to find the "Hidden World", a dragon safe haven spoken of by his late father Stoick 's Gerard Butler.
Meanwhile, a white female Fury dragon, held captive by warlords, is used as bait by infamous dragon hunter Grimmel the Grisly F. Murray Abraham to capture Toothless and use him as an alpha.
Toothless discovers the white Fury, a new species which Astrid Ugly Bettu's America Ferrera dubs a "Light Fury" in the woods, and the two become enchanted with each other. Hiccup and Tuffnut Justin Rupple later discover Grimmel's dragon traps in the area. Grimmel visits Hiccup that night demanding he hand over Toothless, but Hiccup ambushes him; Grimmel escapes, with his Deathgripper dragons burning down Hiccup's house and most of Berk in the process.
Hiccup rallies citizens and dragons to leave Berk on a quest to find the Hidden World and safety from dragon hunters. On the journey, the villagers discover an island on which they initially use to rest, but they begin to settle, dubbing it "New Berk". Hiccup notices Toothless losing his ability to fly during his growing relationship with the Light Fury, so he rebuilds an automatic tail for him.
Toothless uses this new fitted tail to fly off with the Light Fury on his own and flying with her to an unknown land. Patrol scout Valka Cate Blanchett voice notices Grimmel's approaching army and reports back to Hiccup. But Hiccup and the dragon riders fall into his trap and barely escape. Ruffnut Kristen Wiig is captured but irritates Grimmel until he lets her go. Hiccup, Astrid and her dragon Stormfly, searching for Toothless, find the Hidden World and see Toothless and the Light Fury leading the dragons as a happy couple.
When the two humans are discovered, Toothless rescues them and returns them to the Berkians, and Hiccup realises his people would be intruders and unsafe in the Hidden World. Ruffnut returns, but Grimmel secretly follows her to New Berk.
Grimmel appears and captures Toothless and the Light Fury who had followed them. Toothless' alpha status allows Grimmel to capture the rest of Berk's dragons by holding the Light Fury hostage. Astrid encourages Hiccup to set out with the dragon riders to stop Grimmel and his army. Gliding on wingsuits, they catch Grimmel's army off-guard, igniting a battle, and freeing the dragons.
Hiccup and Toothless chase them and defeat Grimmel's Deathgrippers, but Grimmel tranquilises Toothless mid-air causing him to fall helplessly. Hiccup cannot rescue Toothless alone, so he frees the Light Fury and implores her to save his friend.
Hiccup is prepared to sacrifice himself to save Toothless as both he and Grimmel plummet toward the sea, but the Light Fury returns to save Hiccup, while Grimmel falls to his death. Back on the island, Toothless and Hiccup fully realise that dragons will never be safe in the human world.
Hiccup bids an emotional farewell to Toothless as all the villagers tearfully set their dragons free to live in the Hidden World, with the Light Fury leading the way and Toothless following them. Sometime later, Hiccup and Astrid finally marry and become the chieftains of New Berk.
Years later, Toothless and the Light Fury have mated and given birth to three hybrid dragon fledglings called Night Lights. Hiccup, Astrid, and their two children are sailing across the sea to visit them at the edge of the Hidden World. After introducing his son and daughter to his old friend, Hiccup and Astrid take their children flying on Toothless and Stormfly, accompanied by the Light Fury and their offspring.
Hiccup vows that perhaps one day humans and dragons will coexist, but until then, the dragons will stay hidden and the Berkians will guard their secret. The cast are all suited to their characters who are all still likeable, friendly dragon Toothless finding love is cute, the story is pleasant and reasonably easy to follow, and the special effects that make exciting and terrific action scenes and landscapes make for great viewing, a most watchable family animated comedy adventure.
Part 3 ties up the Viking and Dragons story. TxMike 2 July My wife and I watched this at home on BluRay from our public library. Picture and sound are, of course, superb. It is amazing what they can do with computer animation now. The series started almost nine years ago with the first movie. Jay Baruchel is a fine actor but it seems his legacy will be voicing the young Viking Hiccup. In this third movie, which it seems is intended to be the last one, a mean and powerful man with his mean and powerful monsters is intent on killing all the dragons.
Hiccup and his people decide to look for the "hidden world" that his dad used to tell him about. If they can get all the dragons to that hidden world then they will be safe. There is lots of action but also a good story and it seems Astrid will finally get Hiccup to commit. Plus Hiccup's dragon, Toothless, finds an appropriate mate. I had previously watched the first two movies in the series and remember enjoying them, which is reflected in the reviews on this site I had written when they were released though I've yet to look back at them.
Anyway, this third one seems just as enjoyable as those first two. Certainly, seeing this in a Dolby theatre probably made it even more enjoyable as it was quite thrilling feeling the seats shake when certain events were coming.
Boring Gordon 11 September I was rather disappointed with this film. I found the story rather boring. The characters aren't cute or likable, and I don't relate to them either. I was so glad when I finished? Murray Abraham , a ruthless and formidable tyrant. Fun and excitement for the whole family. I loved the original How to Train Your Dragon, rating it 9 stars.
Also really enjoyed the sequel, which I gave 8. Here we are with the third trip to the well, and this time around I feel like I just watched a cute, nice animated kids movie. While the previous movies had a lot of comedy, this one has less comedy, or perhaps just less successful comedy. The movie seems far more focused on romance human and dragon and spectacle.
The romance doesn't do much for me. It was kind of cute but reminded me of how I felt about romance in cartoons when I was a kid ick! The spectacle, on the other hand, is quite impressive. The movie is visually striking, most notably in a scene in the Hidden World of the title, and the final big battle is pretty rousing. The script, though, feels like it's just going through the motions, and at times the story drags.
It's not a bad little movie, but I think the filmmakers are right to - as it appears is happening at the end - closing out the franchise. The alternative is apparently a movie I'll rate a 6. Pjtaylor 28 February It looks a lot better than even the series' second outing, mainly because the characters' eyes, which were practically soulless before, now shine with emotion. From a narrative perspective, however, it simply sits somewhere between the prior two entries. It's not as clear and concise as the first flick, nor is it as occasionally stagnant or generally lax as the second.
It has a stronger thematic through-line than its immediate predecessor, and it does come full-circle in terms of both itself and the series in a way, but it doesn't manage to match the total thematic integrity of the initial piece. Still, there's enough to like, especially in-the-moment. It manages to circumvent the strange, weightless self-censorship of the second by having the characters themselves choose the non-lethal route, which feels more natural as the fight-scenes can play out uninterrupted with blunt-force trauma in lieu of slashes - though, it does make you wonder what the point of a sword is if the bladed bit is never used.
Sometimes, Toothless comes close to being a 'minion'-type character: 'cute' and 'random' for the sake of it. The shaper impressed Grendel because the song made him viewed life differently. The song brought meaning to his meaningless life. Why does Hrothgar build Heorot, the Hall of the Hart? The hall would be a symbol of the eternal justice of Danes, Hrothgar wants the hall to be the holder and dispenser of great treasures. He wants everyone to know about it. How does the story of Cain and Abel affect Grendel?
Grendel is cursed by it, he is a punishment from God. He is a savage that only wants to fight humans. Grendel accepts the words of vision of the shaper. The dragon has special capabilities. The dragon has a different opinion towards men. He thinks humans are selfish, hard headed and unreasonable. How does the dragon explain the role of the Shaper? The role of the shaper is to provide an illusion of reality.
H e puts together all the fact and spin them together playing the harp so people will believe it. According to Unferth, what is heroism? What is poetry? Heroism to him means to see values beyond what is possible. Poetry to Unferth means comfort to the hopeless. And why is Unferth so bitter?
What does it mean? Balance is everything and it means that everything in moderation. How is she different? She gives her life for the ones she loves but at the same time she is still a human. Or does he? He convinces himself out of his attraction to her. How is Hrothulf like a scorpion? Too man heir, rivalry.
He is compared to a Scorpio because hes a poisonous loner. Any action of the human heart must trigger an equal and opposite reaction.
