How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden World - Movie Review

Summary

How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden World is the third and final movie of this trilogy that also include several TV episodes that can be found on Netflix. In the first movie, we find Hiccup trying to become a dragon slayer using his mind instead of his lack of brawn. In his attempt to impress his father the chieftain, he injures a rare Night Fury dragon who he later befriends and names Toothless. The two become friends and teach everyone Vikings and dragons can work together rather than be friends.

In the second movie, we find our heroes trying to protect their dragons and other dragons from a villain who is trying to capture all the dragons and make them into an army. Hiccup also is trying to learn what it means to be a leader. His father is killed during the final battle and he is forced to become a leader.

Movie Review

This movie is a satisfying conclusion to the series. It has ranges of emotion throughout the film. Most of the characters have evolved during their journeys. Those who have not provide much needed comic relief during the film. The movie provides a story that shows what friendship really means. Throw in more dragons, an enemy who wants to capture all dragons, a hidden world of dragons, and a little bit of love making a recipe for a great movie that entertains and may make you think.

Rating

I give this movie at least a HD rating. I would go up to $10 for purchasing this movie. I have seen the UHD copy at this price after my purchase and I wish I would have waited. I picked up my HD copy from UltraCloudHD for $9 the week it came out.

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Glass - Movie Review

History M. Night Shyamalan has made many movies that provide plot twists that are unusual. Unbreakable and Split are two such examples that surprisingly become part of the same universe. Unbreakable was released in 2000 by Walt Disney Studios. Split was released in 2017 by Universal Pictures. Glass is the third movie in the trilogy distributed jointly by Universal and Disney. M. Night Shyamalan’s movies were pretty reliable in the 1990s and early 2000s with movies like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village. The Last Airbender in 2010 was horrible. With a rich story from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, M. Night managed to destroy over 8 hours of great story telling by condensing it into a 103 minute movie. Not to mention how the characters names were mispronounce throughout the film. I could spend an entire post on how that movie destroyed a live action series. My children convinced me to purchase Split. I admit at the time of this post, I have yet to...

Once Upon A Deadpool Review

Movie Ratings The current PG13 rating allows the use a limited number of profanity words during the film otherwise the film will get an R rating.  Deadpool and Deadpool 2 were both rated R mostly for the profanity used throughout the movie in place of actual dialogue. I was not a big fan of these movies coming in at an R rating as it would reopen the door for other superhero movies to go for an R rating. My personal opinion was that profanity in a superhero movie would be overused like 3D because studios believed it was the key for the movie's success at the box office. It was not. The character was. In my opinion, I believe Logan was properly done as an R movie as it did not over use profanity in the movie. Many might believe that the Deadpool movies were the first R rated superhero movies. They were not.  All three Blade movies that came out in 1998, 2002, and 2004 respectively were the first R rated superhero movies. I believe these movies were also properly done lik...
