ask where is the dragon? Please don't say that I am superficial or fail to comprehend the true meaning of the movie, because the name "How to Train Your Dragon" is originally a money gimmick created by the Chinese distributor.
Is "How to Train Your Dragon Rider" "How to Train Your Dragon 2"? The answer is obviously no. When you finish watching this movie, you will even ask, "Where is the dragon?" Apart from the crocodile, let alone the dragon, there is not even a dragon shadow. Of course, this is also a movie that has nothing to do with "dragon" in the plot, because this is not the main theme of this movie. The English translation of the movie is called "Justin and the Knights". "of Valour", the translated name of Hong Kong and Taiwan is also "Justin's Mission" or "Justin's Mission", and the title of this film released in mainland China creates a publicity effect, cleverly and confusingly, it will The association of the upcoming "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and the clear promotion of the main Hollywood team, this approach made this movie to a certain extent placed high expectations, but in fact, this is a movie related to "Polar "Adventure 2" and "Turkey Story" and other similar mediocre small company animations. This kind of film is generally released in foreign countries very early and has a mediocre response. After ingenious packaging, it has been introduced to the mainland and captured the domestic audience’s interest in European and American movies. Higher expectations are used to create gimmicks, but such movies often make it more disappointing.
From the perspective of the movie "How to Train Your Dragon", this is an animation that deserves to be produced by the Hollywood team, but also as a rare Spanish animation, the film is obviously still at an early age in terms of story and content. In terms of children’s viewing needs, the film uses Justin’s growth adventure, who is eager to become a knight, as the plot frame. This old-fashioned story is not too problematic in the overall plot, but for the “degree” of the plot, it is obvious that the Spaniard still The most typical example is the self-healing of a so-called mage stick. This kind of gag character setting is used to make the whole story more interesting, but this character in "How to Train the Dragon" Obviously it was unsuccessful. There was no sense of joy in the jokes. The audience also responded mediocrely. Such a role still took up a large period of time in the film. I can only say that the liking points of the Chinese and the Spanish are not on the same line. Or the director’s liking point is too low, and so on, an old-fashioned and mediocre adventure story that has not been able to tell well. This is "How to Train Your Dragon". Spain’s animation creation is technically up to standard, but the quality is not reliable.
The pertinent special effects of "How to Train the Dragon Knight" cannot conceal the shortcomings of the mediocre plot. The gorgeous "dragon" coat is just another money-making game staged by the Chinese publisher. Where is the dragon? The question is not only the film itself, but also the bottom line of some distributors' over-promotion.
