How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

It’s been over 10 years since the release of How to Train Your Dragon. Unfortunately, this means you can’t catch it the way it was meant to be seen - on the big screen and in 3D - but it still dazzles. This animated film has it all. A great story of friendship, stunning visuals, memorable character designs, an instantly memorable score, terrific voice acting and a great message. It doesn’t matter how old you are, it becomes an instant favorite.

Much to his father’s disappointment, teenaged Viking Hiccup (perfectly voiced by Jay Baruchel) is hardly the dragon killer his village needs him to be. When Hiccup knocks down a Night Fury - the most elusive and deadly of all dragon species - he finds that he cannot kill it, and instead befriends "Toothless".

We've seen stories about sons rebelling against their parents because they would rather dance ballet, sing, or do anything other than do what they're expected to do before. How to Train Your Dragon differentiates itself first and foremost with its visuals. No dragon we've ever seen looks like the ones in this film. Taking inspiration from the book of the same name by Cressida Cowell, the animators went to town on the creature designs, which range from the two-headed Hideous Zippleback - one head spews flammable gas, the other, sparks - to the bumblebee-like Gronckle. All of them are memorable, as are Hiccups classmates. You’re like the overenthusiastic Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), excitedly looking at these beasts and trying to figure out what makes them tick. I predict in about five to ten years, we’ll be seeing highly detailed and articulated action figures of the creatures in this film sold to adults who grew up with this franchise. That’s how iconic they are.

As you can deduce from the title, Hiccup and Toothless eventually form a close bond and our hero becomes the first dragon rider. The first scene in which they take flight together is pure movie magic. The emotions bubble up inside as if it’s you soaring through the air for the first time. Even on a flat screen, the way they zip alongside cliffs, through rocky formations and above the water is so exciting - particularly with the score by John Powell - it threatens to bring tears to your eyes. You recognize the emotional weight of this moment and the visuals are incredible.

The emotional power of Hiccup and Toothless' flight comes from the character work. Directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois have made the genius choice to give a lot of cat-lie attributes to Toothless. He’s effortlessly loveable but also a little wild - if you’ve ever owned a cat, you know what I mean. You’ve seen how Hiccup and his father are. It’s not that Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler) is a bad father, it’s that they just have nothing in common, whereas Hiccup and Toothless? they get along but they do so well. It breaks your heart knowing they’re from two worlds and that there’s no way this is going to work out. Training with Toothless means Hiccup becomes more knowledgeable about dragons than any other Viking. At his school, he’s acing every course, which breaks down the barrier between him and his father. It raises your spirits but creates a dark cloud on the horizon.

In the end, the screenplay by the directors (who co-wrote with Will Davies) finds a surprisingly elegant way to give the audience the happy ending they want and deliver a big action scene that brings together everything we’ve learned about dragons. It’s revealed that every dragon has been stealing food for the biggest dragon of all, a Godzilla-sized mega beast that will eat anything. The genius of this revelation is that it recontextualizes every dragon attack. If only this big bully were gone, then everyone could live harmoniously. In Independence Day: Resurgence, The Great Wall and similar films, this “Queen” that can be defeated to save the day feels artificial. Not here. In hindsight, it all makes sense.

It's one of the best cast animated pictures in recent memory. Christopher Mintz-Plasse as the big, but squeaky-voiced dragon nerd Fishlegs, America Ferrera as Astrid, Hiccup’s rival and possible romantic interest and the other Vikings are terrific. Even these secondary characters are memorable, making you eager to see more. Then we get to the ending, which is mature and somber. How to Train Your Dragon is much more than the sum of its big, action-packed sequences of aerial pyrotechnics, dizzying flying scenes and narrow getaways. It's packed with emotion, action, and fun. I can’t recommend How to Train Your Dragon enough. (On Blu-ray, April 15, 2022)

Deadpool

Deadpool [trailer]

A wisecracking mercenary gets experimented on and becomes immortal but ugly, and sets out to track down the man who ruined his looks.

It feels as if by now Reynolds mostly plays variations of his Deadpool character, adjusted for the relevant film rating. Which is fine by me, though I think it's best to return to the "original". Especially when in the mood for some cynical entertainment that also makes fun of the superhero genre.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)

If How to Train Your Dragon 2 isn’t as good as the first, it’s only because the original offered the kind of first-time visual spectacle that could never quite be duplicated. This is a more mature film whose evolving relationships enrich the vivid world that’s quickly becoming a favorite. It’s got plenty of adventure, plenty of laughs - and a surprising amount of romance too.

Set 5 years after Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) and Toothless met, dragons have become as much a part of Berk as its human villagers. While exploring and charting unexplored islands, our hero encounters Drago Bludvist (Dimon Hounson), a warlord who is building an army of dragons.

If the first movie was about showing us how different Hiccup was from his father, Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), this sequel is about how much he resembles his mother, Valka (Cate Blanchett), who we meet for the first time in this film. Then, the story takes him further by showing us how he is his own person. At this point in his life, Hiccup is no longer a boy. He’s an adult who hasn’t quite accepted all the responsibilities that come with being the son of the village chief. It’s clear that someday, he will lead Burke. He single-handedly changed human-dragon relationships completely through his willingness to listen and empathize. We can see those qualities, as well as Hiccup’s understanding of the fire-breathing reptiles in his mom. What ultimately makes him grow into his own is the villain, a man who actually has a lot in common with him.

Now that we’ve learned about this world and we’ve met the dragons, we're able to explore the characters. Some of the movie’s best scenes have nothing to do with Drago or the titular creatures. They’re romantic scenes where we see the chemistry between Hiccup and his fiancée, Astrid (America Ferrera), or between Stoick and Valka. The chemistry between the actors is so good you forget you’re looking at living drawings. You just see them as living, breathing people. That’s quite a feat.

By comparison, the film’s villain does not get a whole lot of development, but that’s sort of the point. Ever-hopeful, Hiccup believes Drago is simply misunderstood and that a hand extended in friendship will transform him. It worked with dragons, after all. Maybe he even thinks himself a little bit better than all the adults who warn him about the warlord, that they just don’t understand something that he does. After all, Hiccup and Drago have a lot in common. They’ve both been scarred by dragons but their time with them has ultimately made them stronger. The truth is they might’ve been friends once upon a time but somewhere along the way, the two became mirror opposites. Just as the giant dragon in the first movie couldn’t be reasoned with, Drago also can’t be reasoned with. That might sound like a cliché, but it isn’t, not in this movie. It’s a lesson Hiccup will have to learn before it’s too late.

Ultimately, How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a very different kind of adventure. Rather than boiling down to a boss that needs to be beaten up/killed, it’s a battle of wills and beliefs. If that doesn’t necessarily sound visually dynamic, you’ve figured out the film’s only flaw. While there are plenty of gorgeous scenes, the soundtrack is just as good as the first, the jokes are hilarious and rewarding, the character designs inspired, the emotions rich and the action scenes are rousing, the finale is not the same kind of jaw-dropper we saw in 2010. Is it a big deal? Only if you demand the movies be on the exact same level. If this was a standalone adventure, it would easily earn itself a 5-star rating. Because it’s a sequel and those have different expectations thrust upon them, I’m going to give it a 4.5 - but only because we’re rounding down with extreme prejudice. (On Blu-ray, May 27, 2022)
