In this spoiler review of the How to Train Your Dragon live-action adaptation, I break down why this DreamWorks remake didn’t quite hit the mark for me. From impressive dragon flights to a flat story and a few standout emotional moments, it’s a mixed bag all the way until the third act.
Tune in as I talk directing, cinematography, music cues, and whether this film earns a second watch—or a Blu-ray spot.
