Who's seen it? Who Like it? Why or why not? Thoughts?

I won't say I loved it, but I definitely more than just like it. Hiccup is great, and Toothless is awesome, the variety of characters and dragons is a lot of fun. There is a good message as well. Voice talent is great, very funny. My kids love it as well, we've maybe watched it 12 times in the last two days.

Damn it.... I read the title hopefully, then remembered this was a movie.....




But seriously, I thought it was pretty good. I rather liked the part where:

I've never heard of the movie, but the name sounds dirty

It was a great movie. I loved it. They did a great job with it.

I haven't seen it.

Probably not going to any time soon.

It was a really good movie. Not super awesome, but still a nice movie to watch on a drizzly afternoon.

I liked it, but was a bit disappointed at how much it deviated from the book (like, completely)

I went in it thinking I wouldnt care for it. So I might like it more now because it was so good, and I expected less. But ya, very good movie. It made me laugh alot

Probably one off the better kid....ish movies ive seen, ahd me laughing constantly and there was a dragon the size of a loaf of bread.
Also Vikings

Saw it in theaters with my (then) 5-year old. Thought it made pretty decent use of 3D, had a great story for a non-Pixar kids film, and had no idea there was a book. Would probably see a sequel if one got made.

I saw that movie in German. Being from northern Germany, I absolutely love the movie, because every character speaks in quite a thick northern German accent. It makes the characters - being vikings - more believable and at the same time incredibly hilarious. From the original post I assume the voice acting in English is quite cool, too, so in whatever language - great film.

Yeah, in English, most of the Vikings have Scottish accents, which works surprisingly well for vikings

Literally just finished watching it and I LOVED it!

Same with me - wasn't expecting much, thought it'd be a dorky kids movie. Was pleasantly surprised at how much detail was in it, and some great moments that made me laugh. I think my favorite was this:

Hiccup: Duh da duh! We're dead.

For a movie with a rather uninspiring title, the Mrs. and I were surprised at how much we enjoyed the movie, and how much our daughters enjoyed it. It's now part of our movie collection.

"Made it from your mothers breastplate...keeps her close to heart..."

Good. Watched it on a plane, was pleasantly surprised how good it was... though, I'm kinda bleh about the ending.

I watched it with my children and found it to be very entertaining.

i think they wanted to leave it someone open ended.... as there from what i understand a book series to go along with the movie... so... more books = more movies??? maybe?
