‘How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden
World’ is the third & final film in one of the best trilogies of recent
memory – it lives up to the benchmark set by the first two films and has solid
character development and a fantastic ending, rather than just rehashing the
same motifs. There’s so much great CGI to watch – oceans, clouds, forests,
caves, waterfalls, and obviously, hundreds of dragons! It’s all really colourful,
fun and enjoyable
The plot is that now most of the dragons
are living in their Norse village, pirates keep stealing them, so Hiccup (Baruchel),
Astrid (Ferrera) , Eret (Harington), Snotlout (Hill), Fishlegs (Mintz-Plasse), Gobber (Ferguson),
Ruffnut (Wiig) and Tuffnut (Miller) have to keep rescuing them. Since this is
unsustainable, they try to find the hidden realm beyond the edge of the world
where dragons originated from. In the meantime, Toothless is being hunted by
the evil Grimmel (Abraham) who wants to destroy all Night Furies.
Even though it’s all fantasy and about
dragons, there’s two great love stories in the film – Hiccup & Astrid and Toothless and the Light Fury. Along with love comes loss, and the
film does a great job of portraying to kids that change is inevitable and is
handled really well. There’s a few funny moments, lots of great action scenes
and plenty of sweet moments. Almost had a tear in my eye at the end!
Overall: Delightful and uplifting fun,
excellent conclusion.
Gav's Rating: 4 stars.
That’s nice to know that this movie does the tremendous job of portraying to the children that change should be appreciated. Such movies are always in our watch list. I also will be adding some more shows for our family weekend movie parties. Adding the shows from Andy Yeatman because they are super nice.
