Review of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019) by Davidtejada — 22 Feb 2019

“You might say that the final part is not as exciting as the previous two films, however the third instalment proved to be a solid better-than-expected movie which signified the conclusion of the second best cartoon trilogy after Toy Story”.

It has been nearly five years since the second movie was released. From then on, I was waiting excitedly to 2019 because my childhood most-impressive saga was about to come to an end. Afterwards, I watched the first trailers, they reinforced my expectations and gave me chills because everything I loved about the saga was in. When I arrived at the premiere I felt a little weird because I was surrounded by 9-year-old kids. They were laughing about the childish behaviour presented in the movie and also about baby dragons, but I was a little uncomfortable. WHY? Because I realised the saga became more about providing laughs and less about developing the characters such as the villain (who was not bad but could have been enhanced). Nevertheless, there were many laughable moments and basically throughout the movie I was having fun as a little kid I used to be. I love how director DeBlois still gave importance to each character, considering they were a bunch of 10 individuals, like if it was their first appearance ever. Have I mentioned the visual effects became some of the most outstanding beautifully-crafted details I have ever spotted in an animated flick? Dreamworks, after all, is mending fences from its previous non-convincing films released. I bet our studio production will be nominated at the Oscars next year. I deeply believe so.
