Finally got around to watching it, and I will say it was pretty freaking good. I think I liked it more than the original animated, and I love those movies.

The casting is great. Hiccup did a really good job. Gerard Butler is perfect. Toothless is perfectly done. The special effects are great.

Laced with beautiful scenes throughout.

Very much worth checking out.

I guess you're referring to the girl yeah?

I don't care about her color really. But she was the only one that wasn't very good. Her face has no emotion. Bad for acting it you ask me.

Everyone else was great in their role. Gobber was great.

The original animated film is a favorite of mine, and it didn't need a remake, but as far as "live action" remakes go, it was miles better than the crap Disney has been putting out there. There was much ado about the biracial British actress cast as Astrid, but she wasn't terrible. She starts off as the typical girl boss type character that Hollywood loves to populate movies with, but she softens considerably over the course of the film. The rest of the cast was spot on and the dragons were awesome. Toothless was perfect. Overall, it's a fun watch.

I'd still rather rewatch the original than the live action version, despite enjoying the live action.

the animation adds so much

Yeah, that's exactly how she was in the animated version of the movie.

It's the same movie, same character.

People have a problem with her attitude only in the live action movie?
