Unexpected family fun

Ten years of dragon fans. I remember I was very young when How to Train Your Dragon 1 came out. At that time, I watched Hiccup ride toothless and never understood until I finally succeeded in turning the island of Berk into the island of dragons. The ties between the dragons, you and I are not complete, only together is complete. Later, when the second film came out, I was impatient to go to the cinema to contribute to the box office. Although there were bright spots, the battle between the two dragon kings, the two large-scale team battles, the return of my mother and the death of my father were all great points. But it is already obvious that the plot has begun to soften a lot. There is no longer the fierce collision of contradictions between two generations and between peers in the first film. Therefore, the ending of the family carnival in the third part is also expected, because there is no more story to write. The inhabitants of Berk Island return to life without dragons, the only difference from before is that they have lost dragons forever, and whether dragons are in opposition or as companions, they will no longer appear in human life. In the end, the parting of the human dragon really earned a lot of tears. After parting, the story of how to train a dragon is over. Hiccup and Astrid got married unexpectedly. Toothless took the dragon group to a hidden place and successfully formed a family with Guangsha. No characters sacrificed in the whole play. Even if there was a parting, at the end of the film It also made up for the reunion, and the ending was very perfect. It is indeed a family movie suitable for children.

If you put aside the low-level positioning of the movie audience and look at it from the perspective of a sentimental old fan, I really feel that this DreamWorks movie has nothing to watch except for its dazzling skills and harvesting feelings. The emptiness of the plot makes it obvious that it is trying to make a trilogy hard. The whole process relies on toothless to find girlfriends to be cute to make up the time. The boss that has been foreshadowing for a long time, I thought there would be a big scene such as a wave of team battles, but it disappeared in a daze. When the boss fell into the sea, I glanced at the progress bar, and saw that it was still a long time ago, thinking that there must be a death-defying counterattack or something, but it was gone. . . The next fifteen minutes are all about showing affection? ? Such an arrangement is really disappointing. Although the ending of the family carnival is expected and the best arrangement for the characters in the play, I still hope it can be a little tragic. If Hiccup was a little selfish and left toothless by his side, if the boss fought back and died with either Hiccup or toothless, if Astrid died unfortunately after marriage, Hiccup would have lost the most precious person. When encountering toothless, the whole story will be much better watchable. Even if there is no knife, the family will be happy to the end, and the entire Berk Island will be moved to a hidden place. Since then, the story about the dragon knight will disappear completely, and the fetters of the dragon will continue forever in an unknown place. This ending is also better than DreamWorks. Make better choices. The ending of the movie can only make me feel that this is a perfunctory work of fried rice.

The whole movie is mediocre and can only be regarded as a passing work. If there are children at home, I recommend watching it. For older friends, I can only say that at least in the movie, Hiccup and toothless are very happy, that's enough , isn't it? As for the knife, just think about it for yourself, there is no need to live with your own feelings.

    After watching the trailer, I didn't expect it at all... So is the Western way of dealing with it to change every kind of spiritual creature from a [non-human intelligent group] to a [cute pet]? It's really sad to see Toothless lose his "humanity" bit by bit. Another female dragon with a different color? ? ? Can it be a little more cliche? ? ? After reading it, I found that as expected, the humanistic logic of humanism is still very clear, and it is still not animist and post-human in nature.
