How to Train Your Dragon 2

My Thoughts:

-    I loved the first movie, and I loved the second.

-    There is a part in the middle that made me sad (and a little mad), but it's okay. The movie recovers.

-    Toothless is a lot more playful in this one. I laughed a lot. 

-    The animators did awesome with aging the different characters. 

-    The story becomes a lot more complex, and I'm really excited for the 3rd movie!! I need to know what happens!

-    The music is really good (minus the bagpipes). I was tapping my foot a lot to the soundtrack.

-    Ruffnut is bit ridiculous. I rolled my eyes at most of her scenes. She is . . . ugh! There are no words. 

-    The CG was really good. DreamWorks has stepped up their game! The environment looked nice, and there were some really awesome visual moments. 

-    The voice actors were great! I loved them all! 

-    I want a dragon! 

First Movie

(click on cover to see my thoughts)

Rise of the Guardians

My Thoughts:

-    I've seen a lot of people cosplay as Jack Frost, and if it is big in the geek world, I gotta check it out!

-    I loved how the creators remade classic childhood icons. Santa is Russian, The Easter Bunny is Australian, and I loved the Sandman and the Tooth Fairy. Each character was so fun!

-    If the Lorax and a Wookie had children, they'd be Santa's yetis.

-    Jack Frost was a fun character. I figured out "his center" pretty quick, so I don't understand why it took him so long.

-    The villain was awesome! Jude Law did an amazing job with that character.

-    All the voice actors did great! My favorite was Hugh Jackman as the Easter Bunny. It was fun to hear his original accent. 

-    The homes of each guardian was amazing. They were so unique, different, and creative.

-    Some of the scenes were really beautiful. The CG was really well done.

-    This was a really cute movie, and it has something for everyone. 

Legend of the BoneKnapper Dragon

My Thoughts:

-    This is a really weird short film with the cast of How to Train Your Dragon.

-    The animation changes during Gobber's stories, and it is really weird.  Was their budget low for this or something?

-    A lot of this was pretty dumb.

-    The disc has some other features, like a DreamWorks Jukebox that has some music videos from various DreamWorks films.

Tyson's Thought:

-    The Kung Fu Panda music video was the best thing on the DVD.

Hubby's Thought:

-    I don't get why the bone dragon liked to be scratched on his armor.

How to Train Your Dragon

My Thoughts:

-    This is probably my favorite DreamWorks movie.  The story and characters are so great!

-    It is very funny and very heart warming!  The story has something for everyone.

-    Toothless's head is Stitch's head.  

-    The CG in this is pretty good.  There are some really nice environments, and the flying sequences are really amazing!

-    I like that they created different types of dragons.  It was really fun to see the different classes that do different things.  They were really creative with the dragon designs.

-    Toothless is SO cute!!  I want one!  His expressions are so cute and funny.  I love how he shows so much emotion just using is facial expressions.

-    The voice acting is spot on!!  I love the people they got for the voices.  They fit their characters perfectly! 

-    I know this has been out for a while, but if you haven't seen it, SEE IT!!

Tyson's Thought:

-    I want one of the big fat dragons.

Megamind

My Thoughts:

-    I like how they make fun of Superman.  That was funny.

-    Why does everyone in this movie have a giant forehead?  It bugged me.

-    The plot had some unexpected twists, but some predictable ones as well.  I like how they put a twist on the classic hero vs villain thing.

-    For most of the movie I was shaking my head and going "Oh brother! Really?"  

-    I hate Will Ferrell, but this was ok cause I couldn't see him.  I loved David Cross as the minion!

-    I didn't like that everyone in the movie had a bit of a stupid side and things just kinda worked for them.

-    I can't really decide if I liked this or hated it.  I'm leaning towards the "didn't like" though.  Tyson and Hubby loved this movie, so I'll just let you know their thoughts.

Tyson's Thoughts:

-    Any movie with Welcome to the Jungle and Bad as a soundtrack can't go wrong.

-    If this movie was an Asian lady, I'd marry it.

Hubby's Thought:

-    This movie had a lot of twists, and I like that.
