Part 3/9:
The general consensus among critics and fans alike is that this How to Train Your Dragon adaptation remains remarkably faithful to the animated movies. Both supporters and detractors note that the film largely mimics the original in plot, tone, and storytelling, which may bolster its box office prospects. Fans of the franchise appreciate the effort to recreate the beloved narrative without unnecessary modifications or modernizations.
However, some viewers believe this fidelity borders on overreliance on the source material, arguing that it doesn't bring anything fresh or innovative to the table. On the other hand, critics who laud the film for its faithfulness view this as a strength, emphasizing that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
