Entertainment Blog #346 | How to Train Your Dragon [2025] : The Same but Feels Different...

I personally don't like animated movies. It is because it feels more artificial than action movies. Most fantasy stories were produced as animated movies at first. I think it's because of limitations in technology and budget. But it's being changed now. In recent years, a few iconic animated movies have been remade as live-action movies. The Lion King, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast are some of them.

"How to Train Your Dragon" is the newest addition for the list. It is a #fantasy #adventure #movie that was released in June and recently, it was released to online platforms. It stars Mason Thames, Nico Parker, Gabriel Howell, Julian Dennison, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Peter Serafinowicz, Nick Frost, and Gerard Butler. And they follow the original characters in the animated movie.

The movie revolves around the villagers of Berk, the town of Vikings - the Dragon Killers. Hiccup is the son of the chief of the village, Stoick the Vast. He thinks Hiccup is weak, and he actually is. So he won't let Hiccup go out when the dragons attack the village. Because of this, he is embarrassed among the guys of the same age.

So Hiccup had to do something. Then he took out his self-made dual bolas launcher and aimed at "The Night Fury", a mysterious dragon that throws purple-colored fire, and no one has lived to tell what the Night Fury looks like. Hiccup thinks he got him, but with the attack on the village, no one seemed to notice him.

Then the day after, he went to the forest to find the dragon. He didn't expect to find it, but he found it anyway. He wanted to kill it and become the first Viking to kill a Night Fury. Even though he tried to kill it, he couldn't put it into action. He ended up releasing him. He thought it would kill him, but it didn't. That action surprised him.

When he returns home, Hiccup's father has changed his mind to give him a chance in Dragon Training, joined with Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut. Hiccup was requesting to participate in it, but now, with the new events that took place, Hiccup doesn't want to. So now he's in a moral dilemma.

According to his villagers, dragons should be killed. But now, Hiccup is kind of keeping a dragon as a pet. And his father is seeking the dragon nest to hunt down all the dragons. So what will happen with these situations? It's up to you to find out.

This movie follows the same plot as the animated movie. But there are a few differences I noticed. They are not that big. And being a live-action movie creates a different vibe than watching an animated movie. Available in torrents for your entertainment..
