1) Making the main characters too “modern”. The kid had an “emo” 2010 haircut that will look dated 2 years from now.
2) Making the dragons into basically cute puppies, or otherwise have the same mannerisms as dogs.
3) Lame “simtcom-my” acting by the characters (created by the 3d animators.) Specifically the scene where the dad gives the boy the hat, and they sortta act uncomfortable. This same lame situation can be seen thousands of times on every ABC sitcom.
4) The boy character has an annoying “juno-esque” sarcasm and ability to be smarter than all the adults in the world.

Want a cross between Toy Story and pokemon? You get this stupid movie. Since when do Vikings have an irish accent? Since this movie apparently. The dragons are laughable. Some look like they’re straight out of a kindergarteners art folder. Not nearly menacing, and more laughable. The only reason I gave this movie 3 stars is because the plot is ok. I expected more from pixar.

The movie might be cute. Oh, and politically correct.
But if your child has read the books – he or she is NOT going to like the movie. Toothless is a TINY dragon that fits under Hickup’s Viking helmet, not a big critter than can be ridden! Fishlegs is supposed to be a SKINNY kid. What – did they have to make him fat in the movie so all the fat American kids would have someone to identify with besides the fat bullies? And the dragon in the movie . . . HAS TEETH! Wow, why did they think his name was Toothless?!
The books are a delight, even for a grown-up reader like me, and they’ve encouraged thousands of young non-readers to get into reading. Too bad the author sold out for Hollywood bucks. The screenwriters used all the cliched, raggedy old dragon stereotypes rather than the creative invention of Cressida Cowell that made the books something unique.
As the real Toothless would say, “Pud it inna craperspot.”

Many parents brought their kids for the magic of 3D and animation of dragons and a kid outsmarting the entire village in communicating sensibly with such misunderstood creatures. Few kids ended up losing interest in the movie, separated from their parents, and played in the dark alleys of the movie theater. Few parents had to get out due to the maddening violence of killing dragons from the beginning to the end.
It is a movie that started with great animation and imagination yet lost its target viewers by introducing incessant violence non-stop. The movie missed the greatest opportunity in sparing such great talent of its artists in an age-appropriate tale. The imagination and graphics are more suitable to a college student than to any child or even adolescent.
Somehow, a writer out there who never has learned how kids think, imagine, or develop, embarked on such silly progressive improvement of the dragon tail in order to enable it to regain its flying capabilities. With kids using axes to wrestle with monstrous dragons, parents should be informed with the ill-design of the movie.

The story line is fake and nothing like the book, but it has very good morals. Such as do not fight something before you examine it. Another thing is that in the book Fishlegs is skinny and knows nothing about dragon and is hiccup’s best friend, but in the movie Fishlegs is fat and knows everything about dragons and is not hiccup’s friend.
