The film does actually bring back original co-director Dean DeBlois, which is something I suppose, and even though the animated version isn't the most colourful film in the world, this live action version still somehow manages to sap all the saturation out of it anyway.
Plus, the lovable Toothless just looks strange compared to the realism of everything else - hell, even the logo opts for a less cartoonish look, though I'm sure a lot of this is down to choices from executives and the marketing team.
At least the cast seems pretty strong, with Mason Thames (The Black Phone) taking over the role of Hiccup, and Gerard Butler playing Chief Stoick the Vast - he actually voiced the character in the animated film, so he'll work well I imagine.
Whether I like it or not, it exists so I'll just have to live with it, and we'll all find out how good it is when it releases next year on June 13.
