Nothing outstanding, passable, but not excellent

Passed just because of the beautifully crafted and cute chug

The plot itself is very conventional, and a happy ending is expected, but the emotional transition of the characters is too blunt. The heroine is simply a model of remembering what to eat and not to fight. It should be deceived over and over again. She lost her father first, and then lost her only dragon. So much hatred is because of the sentence "We have the same responsibility for Xisu's death." Just let her go? Is the hatred of the heroine too fragile? Returning to the state of Longyou, I am afraid that he will be backstabbed again in a few days.

The images of the supporting characters are also very thin. The two tribes are just like to draw out the baby and the big man, and these two characters seem to be specially prepared for the ending to highlight the value of human trust. Although the middle is supplemented by dialogue There is a background story, but there is still a feeling that it was specially designed for a happy ending.

In the end, there is actually a lot of foreshadowing about trust. The director should want us to have a sense of sudden realization after watching the ending, but this directly denies the previous setting, and three-quarters of the first part is rendered. How powerful is the dragon, the only hope to save the world, but in the end our powerful dragon was killed by a human-made crossbow? How on earth are they believed by humans?

The most outrageous thing is to rely on trust to solve Zhuang Mo in the end, so it is trust that saves all mankind? What's the point of the dragon's magic? For making glass balls? This simply breaks the logic of the whole film, and why is it that everyone else is petrified in the same posture, but the protagonist group maintains the posture before the petrification?

Raya and the Last Dragon quotes

  • Raya: Hold on.

    [Sisu grabs onto Raya. She swings across the pit but stops midway. Turns out Sisu's hind legs were still perched on the edge of the cliff]

    Sisu: Oh, we were doing a jumpy thing? So sorry. My bad. I get it now.

  • Raya: Actually, Sisu, I think we're going to go with your plan.

    Sisu: What? My plan? You're going with my plan?

    Raya: Yeah.

    Sisu: Alright! You're not going to regret this. But we're gonna need a really good gift. What do you think she's into? Cats? Knives? Cats with knives? Knives with cats on them?
