Review of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019) by Apocabee — 14 Mar 2019

This film being the ending to the HTTYD trilogy was thrilling and an emotional ride towards the last film. I will admit watching Hiccup grow and be challenged, yet rise to his calling and mature for both him, his people, and the dragons was astonishing! The graphics and Animation is never not beautiful.

Out of all of the villains (Grimmel) was actually one I was worried about. I mean I understand DreamWorks endings will always leave on a good foot, but this man was quite intimidating, and cunning, and was always one step ahead which made me jump to conclusion that the ending was going to take a dark turn.

Although Grimmel's death was pretty plain and simple, I wish they were a bit more extra with him, for such a difficult villain he died way to easily. When I say emotional it's more towards the chemistry between the animation and the score which leaves me teary eyed because, it all just melts together so well.

The design for the light furry and behavior really contrastes well with Toothless, not just by color comparisons but also maturity and actions. I give this film a 9/10 because of two reasons, the death for the villain was anti-climatic and Hiccup the savior of dragons couldn't save the four dragons that were under Grimmel's control, instead he let them drown with Grimmel, which kind of defeated what drives Hiccup to be Hiccup.
