An average movie

To be honest, I never really understood why 'How to train your dragon ' turned out to be so popular. I mean, sure, it was a decent animated feature but not much more than that. The fact that this sequel wasn't really a smashing success at the box-office actually reinforced my opinion. Still, I wanted to check out the damned thing to make up my mind for good. Well, just as I expected, I thought it was not bad but nothing really mind-blowing. I mean, sure, the animation was really impressive and it is probably one of the most gorgeous movies delivered by Dreamworks Animation so far but, to be honest,  once again,  I really had a hard time to care about the story or the characters involved. Basically, I thought it was fairly entertaining but it was never really amazing in any way. In the contrary to most of their productions which are usually based on some rather shallow plot, here, they try to pretend that this tale is actually really deep and inspiring but I just didn’t buy it and, eventually, the end-result was actually rather pretentious,  to be honest. Anyway, to conclude,  in spite of its flaws, I have to admit that it remains a very well made animated feature and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
