Crazy to think this was 5 years ago, I remember being dragged to the cinema to see it, I could think of nothing worse than watching some stupid kids film in the cinema. And I fell completely in love. I seen it at 10pm with only a few kids (4-5) and many adults... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) this was great. Perfect way to end this series. the end was tough. i have to agree with others who said its not as good as the first two, it is definitely not, mainly due to a lot of the events of the film (regarding the villain) not driving character development but instead just plot. However in the second half and especially the last 20 minutes, are fantastic. It is so great to have a successful emotional payoff for the last 10 years of these films. By building and developing believable characters and in this film, giving us a deserved ending, and an ending that feels like it is the end. unlike say Kung fu panda or other great animated films that you still think maybe there will be more.

It doesn't adapt the books from book to book. It's all original stories based on the characters from the books. Very loose adaptation The creators of the films said from the beginning this is a trilogy. In this film its very clearly the end. A montage of scenes through the trilogy is played over the credits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupek Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 16 hours ago, BoxOfficeZ said: Its probably the worse film of the trilogy because of the predictable story but still a good flick and an entertaining watch. Also the animation is just gorgeous but that should surprise no one. The first HTTYD is a tremendously predictable movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the end. How To End Your Franchise Pretty much right there with you. It doesn't reach the heights of the first two, but this is still a fitting conclusion. I remember being really skeptical of the first movie because of how weak the trailers were, yet 9 years on I think this has to go down as one of the strongest film trilogies I've seen. I got a little teary-eyed during the epilogue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not disappoint. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipickthiswhiterose Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Very enjoyable movie, maybe not the strongest of the franchise but the capping off of the series was excellent. One of the very strongest movie trilogies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember many strong and beautiful moments from the second one (including the music), which I've seen FOUR times. It was a big step up from the kiddie film that is the first. The third was overhyped so my hopes were too high, it seems. I was even going to take my girlfriend to see it (she doesn't like animation). But it is much blander than the second. Very few strong moments, and the humour was forced or seen best in the trailers. Hope I like it more the second time - but that's the best I'm giving it, 2 views.

Eric Quinn Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 https://deadline.com/2019/02/miss-bala-fires-up-650k-in-previews-before-heading-into-slow-super-bowl-weekend-1202547407/ Quote Other highlights: Fandango reported on Friday that their early access Saturday screenings for DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World on St have exceeded expectations, with hundreds of showtimes selling out. The DWA threequel will play at 1,000 early access screenings taking place at select AMC Theatres, Regal Cinemas, Cinemark Theatres, Marcus Theatres, Harkins Theatres, Southern Theatres, National Amusements, B & B Theatres, and many more. The pic via Universal opens on Feb. 22. This morning, we hear Hidden World did gangbusters. These early paid screenings are becoming a barometer to a pic’s potential success (unlike when studios use to boast that they ‘sold out’ on a free screening. That doesn’t mean anything. However, when a bulk of moviegoers shell out bucks early on, it’s a very good indicator). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 The film has been underperforming in most of the markets it released in (great opening but terrible legs). Too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
