How to Train Your Dragon (2025)
The sky calls. The legends awaken. And with How to Train Your Dragon (2025), a beloved story takes flight once again—this time in breathtaking live-action. Directed with care and wonder, this adaptation brings the magical world of Berk to life like never before, offering both longtime fans and a new generation a heartfelt, visually stunning adventure.
Mason Thames delivers a touching performance as Hiccup, the clever and compassionate Viking misfit whose bond with a wounded dragon named Toothless forever changes the fate of his people. As the son of the imposing Chief Stoick the Vast (played by returning voice actor Gerard Butler), Hiccup is torn between tradition and his own beliefs—choosing empathy over violence in a society built on dragon-slaying.
The film beautifully balances epic action with quiet emotional moments. The flying sequences are jaw-dropping, the dragons look alive, and the chemistry between Hiccup and Toothless is just as powerful in live-action as it was in animation. With a powerful score and a story full of heart, the film captures the essence of what made the original so iconic, while giving it new depth and realism.
Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)
