How to Train Your Dragon

There is nothing wrong with liking this movie. This is an extremely faithful adaptation of HTTYD that does not try to replace the original in the slightest. It more feels like a 15th anniversary re-release, which is not something I can say about some of the more atrocious live action remakes (Lion King, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, etc.). For this reason I do not hate this movie. That being said, there is absolutely no reason for this to exist and I was extremely bored throughout. It's basically the first movie but executed in a much worse way. All of the line deliveries suck so bad. It was so cringe the way they said so many iconic lines. In the first movie there was a very precise and intentional pacing to the dialogue. The comedic and dramatic timing was pretty much perfect. In this movie the dialogue was paced so poorly. Most of the acting is terrible. The new actors clearly didn't understand the characters. The only decent performance was Stoick, but even that was just decent. The original actor, Gerald Butler, was great as a voice actor, but as a regular actor he is kind of mid. Many of the scenes look very ugly. This is a movie that was clearly meant to be animated. The story is paced very poorly compared to the original. All of the magic of the original just feels gone. There is absolutely no reason to watch this movie. Why would you watch this when the original exists? It's literally just a worse version of the original. Even though it was nice to hear that beautiful music again in the theater, I don't think it's worth it to go see it. Go see Superman instead or something idk.
