How to Train Your Dragon (2025)

The live-action How to Train Your Dragon retells the story of Hiccup, a young Viking who lives on the island of Berk where fighting dragons is a way of life. After injuring a rare Night Fury, Hiccup secretly befriends the dragon, naming him Toothless, and begins to question his village’s long-standing traditions. As their unlikely friendship grows, Hiccup must find a way to bring peace between the Vikings and the dragons before it’s too late. The film features a new cast and practical effects blended with CGI to bring the world of Berk to life in a live-action setting.

But how would we rate it?
