I don’t care what anyone else says about this film. I’m still checking it out. I’m glad the same director from the animated film brought back the same composer (John Powell) and the same actor Gerard Butler as Stoick The Vast in this live action film.
Still wish that he could’ve brought back Cate Blanchett as Valka, Hiccup’s mother.
I would love for America Ferrera and Jay Baruchel (the original voice actors for Astrid and Hiccup) to make cameo in this.
Mason Thames and Nico Parker are both perfect casting. Hands down!
Some people were upset about the casting of Nico Parker as Astrid, because Astrid’s white with blonde hair. Nico isn’t black, okay? She’s 75% white! She’s mixed. Who cares? At least she’ll kill it! If you people don’t want to watch it, then don’t watch it! It’s not like anyone’s forcing you to watch it!
I wonder what else Universal Studios & Dreamworks are gonna do a live-action reboot next? A live-action Monsters Vs Aliens? A live-action Megamind? A live-action Shrek?
Oh wow.
Have You Ever Heard About Disney’s Live Action Movie Prequel The Little Mermaid: Against The Tide?
