Movie: How to Train Your Dragon [Review]

We know, we know!! We’ve been talking all week about the hotties of Hot Tub Time Machine, but it’s time to celebrate your inner child and check this bad boy out as well. Sure, it’s a kid’s film—but, it’s a scary one even by adult standards. And the dragons! There are so many of them! And, they’re so varied. The lesser ones look like little Tim Burton turds, but the big, hoss-daddies look like Disney got it on with Grimm’s Fairytales and had a Jurassic Park baby. With the advent of animation juggernauts such as Shrek and each iteration afterwards comes much-improved technology, such is the case for How to Train Your Dragon. Everything is celebrated to be a visual spectacle! You’ll marvel just as much at the majestic vistas as you will the minute details the Dreamworks team got right—such as sunlight glittering on the arm hair of a viking—all of which is in glorious 3D. Take the girlfriend or the wife and kiddos and be amazed, and don’t be surprised to dream of dragons that night.
