I went and I saw this on release day, and I was very impressed. I was expecting a kiddie movie with dragons and I got a big epic adventure with dragons. I like dragons.

So since then I have been scouring the net for info. The movie has gotten very good reviews (Beating out all of the other weekend movies on Metacritic and currently ranked #3 for 2010 movies on Rotten Tomatos with a 97%).

I haven't read the books, and truthfully I don't think that I want to; the source material differs from the books significantly enough that I don't think I'd have as much fun with the books as I did with the movie.

If you haven't seen the movie then I would highly recommend going to see it. I saw it in 3D and was impressed with it. I saw Up in 3D and was thoroughly unimpressed, but this movie made excellent use of the 3D without being gimmicky in the slightest. I totally felt like Alice threw in a few scenes specifically to justify the use of 3D in that film, but I never felt that for any scenes in HtTYD.

Has anyone else seen it yet? What did you think? Anyone planning to see it soon?

[Demonic Spoon]

I haven't seen it but I have read some of the books, they aren't bad but also not masterpieces, I'd say mildly amusing. I also like dragons!    The trailer puts me off a bit though. Damn tvtropes for ruining stories for me. I've often noticed fine humour in some supposedly 'children' movies, probably to amuse the adults watching along with the children.

Bet there's porn of the Girl in the bandage top and furry porn of the dragon.

*checks*

yeeeeep

I've discovered that my Internet granted superpower is knowing if a character will have porn drawn of them and which ones will have it done first/the most.

The dragon was first, as I suspected.

ahem

DAMN YOU, INTERNET!

[Realmfighter]

Don't do that!

If the internet enter hell, its powers will increase exponentially!

you act as though the internet and hell are somehow not the same thing.

[Realmfighter]

They are the separated half's of a much greater whole.

You do not want to see it completed.

[Khyron]

I would also like to point out, that the heavily viking-ish feel of the OST makes it PERFECT for listening to while managing Dwarves.

Seriously though, if you're debating seeing this show, go. Do it. It's fantastic.

Your superpower is no better than dowsing: It would only be an accomplishment to find a place without water, or in this case, rule 34.

You've figured out why 4chan is so bad- it's where evil dead people go!

Oh you'd be surprised but there are plenty of things that don't have porn of them. Trust me, I do a hell of alot of tagging on the rule 34 archives because the guys over there are hilarious bastards.

4chan isn't bad anymore, it's just stupid. It used to be the meme factory, the asshole of the internet which influenced millions. It created lol cats, raptor jesus, rick roll, and numa numa. Back in the old days, back before it was overrun by 12 years olds, cam whores and insipid morons, it was a place for over educated psychopaths to unleash their collective creative juices and revel in the madness that is the unrestrained Id. Now it's just anothing GOD DAMN GAIA, and the few remaining old members are forced to travel to newer and numerically greater chans to escape the ever advancing waves of cancer and stupidity.

The halcyon days are past and now we are but vagabonds, homeless internauts on a death march. I was there when the Rules of the Internet were created and I helped forge them. Now there is nothing but decay.

Zomg, an Elder of the Internet! PRAISE PIECEWISE!

...Back to the movie now.

This thread has made me decide that I shall go see How to Train Your Dragon. I hadn't so much as considered watching it before.

[Sensei]

Oh, as far as opinions go on the movie, it was eh. Good special effects and all, plot rather chiche, some minor plot holes (as I, who normally make a big deal of plot holes, mostly just accepted them).

...as for the book, it's perfectly good for five year olds. But the only thing in common with the movie is the character names- so, don't get it just because your kid is excited about the movie.
