The movie looks absolutely amazing. The animation, and effects are breathtaking; the characters look stunning, and the environment is beautiful. Do I even need to mention the music? From what I was able to hear, A+ as usual with this series.
Toothless and the Ligh Fury relationship seemed to be a decent push for the movie, and I was looking forward to some cute moments that hopefully wouldn't be handled with too much cliche.
However... cliche is the very word that comes to mind when I think about this film...
So far biggest issue I had with the film (as far as I watched) is the villain. (What's his name again?.... eh...) His motives were so basic and "cliche" that I only made it about 1/2 way into the movie.... I just couldn't stand the lack of narrative and story telling the movie brough to the table.
I'm sure that fans of the trilogy will truly enjoy this 3rd installment... but I doubt it will be anyone's favorite. I plan on renting the film and finishing it one day... But I could sit there any longer.
To me, a movie is only as good as its villain... and this villain brought nothing to the table. It would have been better if there was no villain at all honestly, but the laziness in writing that came along with the villain truly did spoil this movie for me... call me petty... Dreamworks hasn't really captured my attention in a while.... I really hope I don't start developing a bias against them.
Let's make sure our story is worth telling, especially when ending such an beloved series.
