Happy Friday, Addie. I'm so glad that you enjoyed How To Train Your Dragon (2025). My girlfriend & I saw it in IMAX and we both enjoyed it too. Can't wait to watch it again when I get my IMAX Blu-ray copy of the movie in two weeks. One of my work friends, who's also one of the stars of Netflix's Love on the Spectrum, went to the premiere of the movie and Mason Thames, Nico Parker, and Gerard Butler were excited to meet him.

Happy Friday, Addie! 😊 This is the perfect movie for today. I did get to see this one once in the theater, and recently bought it on streaming. This movie is amazing! Like you mentioned the visuals and music are outstanding. And the casting is great as well. Definitely looking forward to watching this reaction later this evening. I very highly recommend the 2002 animated "Lilo and Stitch"(if you haven't seen it yet) and the recent 2025 live action "Lilo and Stitch" remake. Have a great day today and a great weekend! 😊

Sounds good, I’ll probably wait until it’s a rental though. (Looks like it’s still $20 to buy.)

Addie, I think the coolest aspect of the movie is they brought in Gerard Butler to actually reprise his role as Stoic since he voiced him in the animated movies. Soo cool!

Hi Addie, I would love it if you watched "Legend" 1986 starring Tom Cruise . Thank you

I still don’t get why this exists. Taking a beautifully colorful and creative movie and slapping a drab coating of false realism over it… don’t get it. It feels like when people would do those grotesque renders of cartoon characters. There were some elements where I felt like it had the same vibes as HOOK which I appreciated but I thought so much of the movie was boring to look at and less fun and exciting than the original. This desire to make live action everything creates an attitude that animated films are less valid… It’s obnoxious. And for the record that’s not me saying this movie is even bad. I think it’s FINE… but not as fun as the original.

Joe Blankenship

Yeah, because it's not really "live-action." It's still computer-animated. If they'd built huge practical dragon puppets, THAT would be something to see.

djKENTO

They had a touring live show with giant puppets that were really impressive. If they got the Stan Winston studio to break records with the largest animatronics ever… would have been a spectacle. Or the Jim Henson company.

Baldemort

Movie sits at almost an 80% or a 8/10 across the board in all review categories. Of all the crap live action remakes. There have been quite a few amazing live action remakes of movies recently, mostly in the anime space, but this one also shines through . The technology exists to do it, so might as well do it. This one stays true to the original as well, unlike some live action remakes that totally butcher it for the sake of identity politics and offending the 1% "Modern Audience" Karen crowed (looking at you Disney). But as a side bar, Lord of the Rings was also animated film before it became live action in the early 2000s. So this has been something going on for decades. Its just more common now as CGI and animation technology improve.

djKENTO

The moment you brought up identity politics I rolled my eyes so hard you could hear it. The excuse of “might as well do it” while also admiring it’s basically the same movie with new tech isn’t really an answer to my question. And you’re wrong about the review. The average review is a 6. That’s a passing grade but not a GOOD grade. Also like… the same people who complain about identity politics are the same people sending the young girl who played Astrid and other cast and producers death threats and whining online about the race swapped characters. Like… the thing you’re complaining about is something this movie was blamed of doing too…

Baldemort

Dont know what to tell you, this movie sold hard and many people loved it. and yes its almost 7 and an 8 across the board. not sure where you are looking. I think you are taking this way to seriously. its a fun movie. Lots of people loved it. Especially fans of the original.

djKENTO

Hahahahahahhahahahhagahahah… ahahahhahahah… oh that’s great. Thank you. Hahahahahha!!!!!!! 🤡 you’re so funny.

Baldemort

Calm down dude, its just a movie. Go touch grass. Clearly people love this movie. Sorry that you have such an outlandish moralistic high ground to simply enjoying a movie. Seems like a you problem

djKENTO

I’m calm dude. This is too funny. Lemme guess… you complain about woke gaming too. Did you sign the stellar blade censorship petition too?

Baldemort

I mean if you cant see the dire modern identity politcs being used in games and movie causing thier failure. You clearly live in denial and need a reality check. There is plenty of hard data to back this up. So dont know what to tell you. Yes Stellar Blade is a great game because its actually fun to play. Seems like you a projecting though. You take things way to seriously it seems. How dare good games and movies sell well right? People dont like the woke shit. Sorry, its why concord failed but I bet that made you angry.

Luis Fernandez

I thought they did a pretty decent job, but at the end of the day I don't think this was as good as the animated movie and I feel it didn't really add anything substantive to the HTTYD universe. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, and I'll watch the others as they are released... but if I ever get the itch to watch the first movie again, it won't be the live-action version I go for.

Joe Blankenship

We were talking about live-action remakes, in general. Hollywood feels like it's allowed to remake animated movies simply because they're animated. They're classic movies that don't need remakes. Just like there's lots of classic live-action movies that don't need remakes. In the case of this movie, it's puzzling because HTTYD isn't really that old.

Joe Blankenship

I prefer the original. This wasn't bad, but I don't feel like it added anything to it. It's 30 minutes longer so it's slower paced than the original. And I don't think it was visually as interesting. All the colors get desaturated for the sake of "realism."
