How to Train Your Dragon

DateMonday, June 21, 2010 at 12:00PM

Release Year: 2010

Director: Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders

Review: 'How to Train Your Dragon' is absolute entertainment.  It takes a simple premise - Dragons are cool - and manages to create a simple, heartfelt and thoroughly entertaining movie.  There are no cheesy winks at the audience, pop culture references, or any of the other troupes that make so many CG animated movies lay limp on the screen.  It envelopes us in a world that is full of imagination and doesn't shy away from inundating us with its own reality.  It brilliantly plays on the near universal appeal of pets and ups the ante by creating the coolest pets imaginable: Dragons.  The entire experience was a welcome reprieve and delivered wall to wall fun with just the right amount of heart mixed in.
Rating: 4/5
