Saw this movie with the girls today. I loved it! 4 stars! Hiccup is twenty, dating Astrid, a respected member of the community, but still a little unsure of who he is. Toothless is still a great character, with an amazing depth and range of emotion. He is totally loveable and always loyal. Based on some hints in the film, I would venture that Dragons 3 will contain at least one other Night Fury.
The opening and all flights are astoundingly exhilarating. However, the real heart of the movie is the discovery of Hiccup's mother. Volka is not only alive but a dragon master herself. There is a romantic scene between Mom and Stoick that is so sweet, and just as special as any similar live action scene. This is true not only because of the tenderness between the parents, but also because of Hiccup's awe and joy at witnessing it. Such a true emotion. All in all one of the most genuine wholesome inspiring family films ever. I know that's saying a lot, but I mean every word!

I still want to see this!
I just found out that it was based on a book. Can't wait to let my girls read it since they loved the movies so much. : )
