4 stars! I give it full marks.
The themes of the unsure teenager being out of place and a thickheaded father seem clichéd at first. But as the movie continues with various kinds of dragons attacking the Vikings, the plot does not seem as one sided and straight as man-kill-dragons. When Hiccup, the unsure teenager, finds the wounded Night fury his life changes forever!
We are really in this world with him and Toothless. I love their bonding moments most. The gradual building of trust and dialogue are excellent. Hiccup’s voice is played by a 27 year old, which surprises me because he hasn’t got a voice break yet and sounds immature. You can literally contrast it with his father (Gerald Butler), a beefy countenance. Before I watched this, I noticed that people felt the vikings’ accent was not consistent: why doesn’t Hiccup sound like them? It wouldn’t be appealing to us if the boy talks like the adults. I bet Dreamworks made it like that. So don’t be too hard on those details. I am quite anti-stereotype and still I love the experience.
The Father and son thing is awesome: Pregnant silences, wanting his son to be a Real warrior, laughing at the wrong moments, his frustrations, worry that his son isn’t cut out to kill dragons are all endearing. Gerald Butler has always played the role well- Nim’s
Shall elaborate on Toothless- the mighty Night fury! Dragon movies have become stale from Dragonheart to those movies making them evil… so stale I can’t even remember them, haha! The people aren’t so important to me, it’s the beasts.
He captured my heart immediately! His feline behaviour of snarling defensively at strangers and other dragons was comparable to a modern day wildcat. His relationship with Hiccup grew daily, such memorable snapshots. Boy tries to go near him- he’s mad, boy feeds him- makes him happy, playing the stick game together, until Toothless eventually lets him touch his snout. These snapshots will never leave me and to the target audience speak more than actual dialogue.
There are two climax moments but I won’t go into detail to spoil the fun. Boy is steep in danger and his dragon rushes to rescue him at the cost of his own life is a piquant flash to the Lassie effect similar as well to Bumblebee is captured when he rescues Sam (Transformers).You feel the rush of injustice.
I want to be a Night fury myself, precision strikes and agility not to mention that cute face. Will be collecting the Dvd for reruns of these moments.(but I am still pro-elf because of Hellboy II's Nuada Silverlance)
What can I say but hurrah Dreamworks! The Shrek franchise isn’t far behind in its success. Do you want to wait for the final Forever after? Saw the sneaks that it seems futuristic. Actually they are going to make a Puss movie too, and I was a bit disappointed it’s not out yet. Puss is sexy, voiced by Antonio Banderas. COMING SOON!

centaurs minotaurs, dwarves etc).
Very surprising no one was in the theatre when I watched this movie. Nim’s island provides entertainment, morals and inspiration. The little girl, starring Abigail Breslin, gives us a pictorial comic image of her lost mother at sea. She lives with her dad, Gerard Butler, on their south pacific island with an albatross, seal and lizard. They co exist peacefully with the wildlife in the jungles.
The turning point is the book adventures of Alex Rover getting delivered to them. it’s Nim’s hero , he is so brave and fearless, nothing fazes him. In the States,
One day, Nim’s father sails off to sea to find more sea creatures. He’s a renouned marine biologist of National Geographic. But he is no seafarer, upon his journey back, his boat meets a storm. I felt terrible for him, tossed about like a small person. It’s heart- rending that Nim didn’t follow him when he asked her to. From that point onwards, I thought it would be a sad ending.
Meanwhile, Nim is eluded that the author is really Alex Rover, a guy. Excitedly she emails ‘him’ that she’s willing to help answer any questions. Her father answers his email daily. The author dares not venture out of her house, thus she can’t do research. She requests for Nim to help her find out what’s it like inside a volcano. She climbs a volcano and injures herself falling down. You can see the contrast between the feisty little girl and the timid (scaredy cat) woman- Nim braving the rocks sliding down with only a rope and her lizard for company; the agoraphobic not daring to leave the house at all. Nim waits for her father to return in vain. More tourists want to invade their island, so she hatches a plan to bomb them off with crawlies. Even after the tourists take off, only one boy knowing she’s there, her dad still does not come home. She’s so courageous that I admire her! It is my secret dream to live with animals in the jungles, being totally free and wild.
Meanwhile, when Alex learns of her plight, she tries to navigate there with only the rough coordinates. That’s a hilarious sequence of moments which shouldn’t be missed. Alex herself speaks to her character looking like a nutcase to an audience, arguing why she is even going there in the first place. On the final leg when she gets a boat to the island and is abandoned midway, the main thing driving her is poor Nim with an injury.
Ironically Alex is almost drowned in the seas and saved by Nim and her seal. The girl is furious with her when it’s not the perfect strong man that has come to right things.
The most poignant moment is apparent as Nim finally gives up hope and breaks down. Foster timidly reaches out to hug her… and they both acknowledge that they need each other’s company. Nim thought that she could live with her pets only, but deep inside she felt desolate and lost. And yet the satisfying conclusion will bring you tears and laughter. Action comes in little bursts, but the warmth and practicality will be a solace. It well-deserves a commendation.
