Box Office

Early estimates state that How To Train Your Dragon got a narrow lead over Kick Ass... but now they're saying that the estimates were wrong and Kick Ass actually has a narrow lead over Dragon...

However, Clash of the Titans might end Dragon's run at the top of the box-office... but you'll never know right?

The original movie, saw this on Saturday... the effects are pretty bad by today's standards so cannot wait to see the remake on Thursday... Pavilion anyone?

Sam Worthington in another epic movie...

Dragon

'How To Train Your Dragon' is a Dreamworks release, set in the world of vikings and of course, Dragons, adapted from the book by Cressida Cowell.


There's so many types of dragons in this movie. The central dragon is called the Night Fury, a dark dragon whose main abilities are stealth flight and also highly concentrated fireballs.

The main human character is called Hiccup, a scrawny little kid, who is also the town leader's son.

The island the Vikings live in is constantly under siege by dragons and they'd fly off with the livestock.

During one of the sieges, Hiccup unleashes a weapon he made, which lets loose bolas to snag the dragon mid-flight.

However, when Hiccup manages to track down the dragon, he could not kill. He lets the dragon, the Night Fury, go. Thus a friendship between them begins and Hiccup realizes the dragons are not actually their enemies.

Unfortunately, the other humans on the island still needed to be convinced.



It's a fairly decent outing from Dreamworks. Not anywhere near the quality of Pixar's outings though but it made for a good fun watch. The dragons are made into fun and cute creatures and watch out for a very funny performance by one of the village's livestock. :)
