How to Train Your Dragon marks DreamWorks' first foray into the realm of live-action adaptations of beloved animated movies. It’s a trend that has so far been dominated by Disney, and the studio's seen great success – but they have also weathered some big failures. DreamWorks, to my great surprise and delight, seems to have figured it out straight out of the gate. The How to Train Your Dragon live-action remake is a fantastic movie, not just emulating the animated original, but elevating it, all while also delivering an exciting summer blockbuster poised to thrill.
