I have a confession to make... I am a terrible Librarian... I love my job, love serving the community and visitors from interstate and overseas and I think I'm fairly good at it... What I need to admit though is I've now seen all three films in the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy and I have not read a single one of the multitude of books in our children's area at work. Me! Mister "The Book is ALWAYS better" is yet to read a single word from this series. From watching the third (and definitely final) film of this wonderful trilogy I am now keen to start from the beginning and work my way through.
On to the movie now... After the wonderment of the original and then the shock happening in the sequel I was completely put off from watching the TV series. It works out I didn't have to... I have a son who watched it all religiously and then wanted to debate with me whether or not certain weapons or dragon breeds or characters would appear in The Secret World. I felt ready when the Law family took our seats and the screen went dark, ready and a little excited. I was sooooooooooo not disappointed. What a brilliant film, a cleverly progressed storyline (I can only assume was partly concocted from the television and then seamlessly continued), lots and lots and lots of dragons and a REALLY cool villain...
I found the whole family were entertained throughout the entire running time of the film (great pace), a nice mix of drama and humour and the ending was so perfect it brought a tear to my eye. If you have not seen this or any of the other films in this franchise do yourself a favour… Watch them in order (and the TV series if you want) and enjoy the magic of Vikings and Dragons with your kids or if you can't then do it with your inner child at least. Enjoy! We sure did...
