About the movie |
The Isle of Berk is under attack. Dragons are the enemy. Hiccup wants the opportunity to battle the dragons, but his attempts have been very clumsy. However, one night Hiccup gets lucky and brings down a Night Fury - a dragon his village has heard of, but never seen. Although no one believes Hiccup, he befriends the injured dragon and they help each other. But, will this friendship jeopardize or enhance Hiccup's relationship with his father? |
My opinion |
WOW! I was worried when I saw the trailers for the movie, because it seemed nothing like the book. While most of the characters are the same, the story line is much different. However, that didn't matter when I finally saw the movie. This story line was really great, it made me think that this was what happened before the story line in the book. A great movie I think every dragon and viking lover should see! |
