Last Friday I seen this film with my best friend in the cinema馃ぉ was great. It's about the 3D cartoon series: Dragons Riders of Berk, and being a remake of the original film (2010). The most of live action characters are very similar, including the protagonist Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (played by Mason Thames). Looks like the characteristic between Scooby Doo cartoon series and live action movie.
This film is a prequel to the animated series, set in a time when humans and dragons were at war. Dragons attacked the village of Berk, led by Chief Stoick, Hiccup's father, seeking revenge for the hunting of their kind. Hiccup, the weakling of the village, prevented him from participating in it, looking for a way to participate, he sees Night Fury (who names Toothless shortly after) uses a ballista, shoots a ball at him, but since no one saw it, they don't believe him. After fleeing hiding from a dragon that burned a log, it ends up falling into a house causing the debris to fall on a net on a captured dragon, freeing it and fleeing.
Following this, the father berates his son for his reckless behavior, criticizing his neurotic tendencies and lack of natural strength compared to the other villagers. The son retorts that his father never gave him a chance to fight and prove himself. This prompts the father to send his son to dragon hunting school, where he'll train alongside other beginners, all hoping to impress Astrid, the beautiful and skilled top student.
The following day, Hiccup go to the forest (where he had seen the Night Fury go after shooting it) planning to kill the dragon. But upon finding the creature defenseless and trapped under the fallen trees, he freed it. The dragon, still poised to attack, ultimately chose to escape.
After failing in his first class trying to trap a captured dragon; the dragon almost ate him! His teacher had to step in and, though unhappy about it, told him he wasn't suited for dragon-handling and needed more practice. After school, he went back to the forest and found Toothless again in a cave. Toothless was struggling to fly because his tail fin was gone (lost when the cannonball hit him). Back home, Hiccup builds a harness and a prosthetic fin so he can fly properly, and that's how they become friends.
During his experience with Toothless, Hiccup learned how Toothless behaved, figuring out his strong and weak points. He then used this knowledge, assuming other dragons were similar, utilizing and applying them in his later training sessions. impressing his classmates.
Several times, Astrid, watching Hiccup getting in the forset, she begins to suspect him until follow him. As night fell, Stoick, Hiccup's dad, told he'd been seen the forest and assumed his son was training for his classes and felt proud, but Hiccup misunderstood, thinking his dad knew he was making friend with a dragon, after they talked for a while about living with dragons.
A few days of Hiccups Final Exam, he knew that he have to kill a dragon in this test. He and Toothless dealed to hide and go away, then Astrid comes and watched them living. Thanks to Hiccup, Astrid became confident that humans and dragons could coexist. Toothless was called by a great dragon, the pack's leader, flying with Hiccup and Astrid to the nest, both discovering it. Knowing this, Astrid wants to warn the whole village, but Hiccup points out that Toothless might be in danger if she does.
During the exam, in the classroom, he was about to face a dragon named Monstrous Nightmare. But when his father and the other tournament watchers saw the boy wasn't trying to fight, the father flew into a rage, stopping the fight and provoking the dragon. As the red dragon terrorized the audience and attempted to devour Hiccup, Toothless, the Night Fury, burst into the coliseum to defend the boy and confront the dragon. Once Toothless had secured the dragon in its cell, dragon hunters arrived to capture him.
After this, Hiccup and his father argue. His father, deeply disappointed, disowns Hiccup for befriending a dragon, calling it a cultural enemy and that violates village law and tradition. Hiccup's stubborn insistence forces his father to reveal the dragon's nest exact location. With Toothless captured, the father and the other skilled Vikings sailed to the dragon's nest, forcing him to lead them there.
While Stoick and the most of Berk villagers were traveling, Hiccup and his classmates were speaking about go to the nest with the training dragons, Hiccup teaching them how to dome it. Then, the vikings has arrived to the nest island and start to fight with the great dragon. The great dragon, Red Death, being powerful and indestructible, destroys several ships (transports that use to arrived). Hiccup and company has arrived flying with to fight the great dragon, who breathed fire on the ship with Toothless captured, he felt in water. Hiccups seen it, he went to swim to rescue him trying to break the chains, At this moment, his father pulls him out of the water so he won't drown, going in his place to free the dragon, being free and he coming out of the water too.
Hiccup and Toothless fighting and defeating the dragon discovering it weak point and falling on ground, exploding. The boy felt, falling in the explosion, Toothless rescue him preventing he dies. The next scene, shows Hiccup lying in his bed of his house with Toothless in too. And it's revealed he lost his left foot with wearing prosthesis (This is what the character looks like at the animated series). go out and sees dragons living peacefully in the village. Hiccup is admired by the villagers, prouded by his dad, and beginning a relationship with Astrid.
This entire series, stands out some characters are dismembered in some body part, for example, the hunting dragon instructor, Gobber.

El viernes pasado vi esta pel铆cula con mi mejor amigo en el cine馃ぉfue genial. Es en base a la serie animada en 3D: Dragones de Berk. y siendo un remake de la pel铆cula original del 2010. La mayor铆a de los personajes de acci贸n en vivo son muy similares, incluyendo al protagonista Hipo Horrendo Haddock III (interpretado por Mason Thames). Caracter铆stica similar entre la serie animada y de la pel铆cula de Scooby Doo.
Esta pel铆cula es una precuela de la serie animada, ambientada en una 茅poca en que los humanos y dragones eran enemigos, estando en guerra. Los dragones estaban atacando la aldea de Berk, cuyo jefe es Estoico, padre de Hipo, quienes estaban buscando venganza por la caza de los de su especie. Hipo, a quien imped铆an participar en la guerra debido por ser delgado y verse d茅bil, estaba buscando la forma de luchar. Avista a Furia Nocturna (quien nombra Chimuelo poco despu茅s) utiliza una balista y le dispara una bola, pero como nadie lo vio, no le creen. Tras huir escondi茅ndose de un drag贸n que quem贸 un tronco, termina cayendo en una casa, destroz谩ndola, haciendo que los escombros caigan sobre una red en que un drag贸n estaba capturado, de esta forma liber谩ndolo y aprovechando para huir.
Tras esto, el padre reprende a su hijo por actuar imprudentemente, critic谩ndolo por ser neur贸tico y su falta de fuerza en comparaci贸n con los dem谩s aldeanos. El hijo replica que su padre nunca le dio la oportunidad de luchar y demostrar su val铆a. Esto impulsa al padre a enviar a su hijo a la escuela de caza de dragones, donde entrenar谩 junto a otros cazadores novatos, con la esperanza de impresionar a Astrid, la bella y mejor alumna de su clase.
Al d铆a siguiente, Hipo fue al bosque (donde hab铆a visto a Furia Nocturna ir tras dispararle) con la intenci贸n de matar al drag贸n. Pero al encontrar a la criatura indefensa y atrapada bajo los 谩rboles ca铆dos, decide liberarla. El drag贸n, pensando en atacar, finalmente opt贸 por huir.
Tras fracasar en su primera clase intentando atrapar a un drag贸n capturado, 隆el drag贸n casi se lo come! Su maestro tuvo que intervenir, estando disgustado le dijo que no era apto para cazar dragones y que necesitaba m谩s pr谩ctica. Despu茅s de clases, regres贸 al bosque y encontr贸 a Chimuelo en una cueva, teniendo dificultades para volar debido a la falta de la aleta caudal (la que perdi贸 cuando la bala de ca帽贸n le impact贸). De vuelta a casa, Hipo construye un arn茅s y una aleta prot茅sica para que pudiera volar, de esta forma volvi茅ndose amigos.
Teniendo experiencia con Chimuelo, Hipo aprendi贸 c贸mo se comportaba, identificando sus fortalezas y debilidades. Asumiendo que otros dragones ten铆an las mismas caracter铆sticas, aplic贸 este conocimiento en sus sesiones de clases, impresionando a sus compa帽eros.
Astrid tras ver varias veces a Hipo yendo al bosque, empez贸 a sospechar de 茅l hasta que lo sigui贸. Al caer la noche, Estoico, el padre de Hipo, le cont贸 que lo hab铆an visto en el bosque y asumi贸 que su hijo estaba entrenando para sus clases y se sinti贸 orgulloso. Pero Hipo lo malinterpret贸, pensando que su padre sab铆a que se estaba haciendo amigo de un drag贸n, tras haber discutido varias veces sobre convivir con ellos.
Faltando pocos d铆as para el examen final, Hipo supo que ten铆a que matar a un drag贸n. Tras enterarse, 茅l y Chimuelo decidieron esconderse y marcharse, pero Astrid llega y los observa conviviendo juntos. Tras varias discusiones, Hipo logr贸 convencer a Astrid de que los humanos y los dragones pod铆an coexistir. Chimuelo fue llamado por un drag贸n gigante, el l铆der de la manada, quien vol贸 con Hipo y Astrid al nido, donde ambos lo descubrieron. Sabiendo esto, Astrid quiso advertir a toda la aldea, pero Hipo le dijo que eso pondr铆a en peligro a Chimuelo.
Durante el examen, que fue en el aula que hab铆an entrenado, iba a enfrentarse a un drag贸n llamado Pesadilla Monstruosa. Pero cuando su padre y los dem谩s espectadores del torneo vieron que el chico no estaba luchando, el padre se enfad贸, deteniendo la pelea y provocando al drag贸n. Mientras el drag贸n rojo aterrorizaba al p煤blico e intentaba devorar a Hipo, Chimuelo lleg贸 e irrumpi贸 en el coliseo para defender al chico y enfrentarse al drag贸n. Una vez que Chimuelo encerr贸 al drag贸n en su celda, los cazadores de dragones llegaron para capturarlo.
Despu茅s de esto, Hipo y su padre discuten. Su padre, muy decepcionado, repudia a su hijo por convivir y hacerse amigo de un drag贸n, record谩ndole que es un enemigo cultural y que al hacer eso viola las reglas y tradiciones de la aldea. La obstinada insistencia de Hipo obliga a su padre a revelar la ubicaci贸n exacta del nido del drag贸n. Luego el padre y los dem谩s vikingos expertos navegaron hasta el nido del drag贸n. Con Chimuelo en el barco, lo forzaron a guiarlos hasta all铆.
Mientras Estoico y la mayor铆a de los aldeanos de Berk viajaban, Hipo y sus compa帽eros de clase hablaban sobre ir al nido con los dragones que ten铆an ostentados, Hipo les ense帽贸 a c贸mo domarlos. Luego, los vikingos llegan a la isla del nido y comenzaron a luchar con el gigantesco drag贸n. El gran drag贸n, Muerte Roja, al ser poderoso e indestructible, destruy贸 varios barcos (transportes en que llegaron). Hipo y compa帽铆a llegaron volando para luchar contra el gran drag贸n, quien escupi贸 fuego en el barco donde estaba Chimuelo capturado, cayendo al agua. Hipo donde lo vio, fue a rescatarlo tratando de romper las cadenas. En ese momento, su padre lo sac贸 del agua para que no se ahogara, yendo en su lugar para liberar al drag贸n, logrando liberarlo y 茅l saliendo del agua tambi茅n.
Hipo y Chimuelo luchan y derrotan al drag贸n, descubriendo su punto d茅bil, cayendo al suelo y explotando. Hipo cuando cae, va directo a la explosi贸n hasta que Chimuelo lo rescata, evitando que muera. La siguiente escena muestra a Hipo acostado en la cama de su casa y con Chimuelo adentro. Se revela que perdi贸 su pie izquierdo y con pr贸tesis puesta (as铆 es como se ve el personaje en la serie animada). Sale y ve dragones viviendo pac铆ficamente en el pueblo. Hipo es admirado por los aldeanos, su padre sinti茅ndose orgulloso y empezando una relaci贸n con Astrid.
En toda la serie, destaca que algunos personajes est谩n desmembrados en alguna parte del cuerpo, por ejemplo, el instructor de cacer铆a, Boc贸n.
