Just saw this movie today in IMAX 3-D, along with my kids. We all absolutely loved it. Anyone else see it?

Saw it over the weekend and loved it. Amazing how much emotion Toothless could convey. The flight sequences were wonderful.

I haven't seen it yet, but it looks well done and I can't wait.

I'll probably go next week

Saw it last Sunday in 3D. We double-dated, and all 4 of us loved it and laughed a ton. My SO hopes it'll come to the cheap theater so we can see it again and definitely wants to buy it when it releases.

Catch me if you can!
I thought it was absolutely adorable. I made my hubby go with me to see it even if we don't have kids :D

(He loved it too).

I saw it in glorious 2-D, at first I thought I would hate it, but au contraire. It was fantastic.

I saw it three times already. Absolutely LOVED it!!! It's become my new all-time favorite. Definitely the best dragon movie we've had in a long while. Toothless is certainly the most charming character. Loved every moment between him and Hiccup, especially where their friendship really begins to blossom.

The last time, I saw it 3D. Not quite as thrilling as I was expecting, but very cool. The dragons and the flying scenes were breathtaking in 3D.

I'll probably see it one more time before it goes to DVD.

I've been waiting for a good dragon movie for YONKS.

I mean, the best I've seen in recent history was the so-bad-its-HILARIOUS "D-Wars"

Which delivered on the empty promises of Reign of Fire by having a REAL battle between Dragons and the USAF. And it was awesome.

Oh, and don't get me STARTED on Eragon.

BLECK! PHAF! PITTOWEH! I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, BRISNGWHATEVER!

But, yeah, dragon my parents to see this tomorrow.

:D

Saw it recently. Great movie, with the same recurring theme of standing up for yourself and doing what you think is right, as well as a touch of how prejudice is wrong thrown in.

Loved it.

Hubby and the kids (20 & 18) are off to see it now while I put the roast in the bbq. I'll likely see it in DVD. Daughter saw it while at college & loved it, worth dragging family members to it a second time.

I loved it :D

Seriously, its up there with Up and Wall-E and Toy Story, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION!

If Dreamworks keeps doing films like this, then I'll stop thinking of them as second fiddle to Pixar.

I echo the sentiments of enjoyment. I saw it in 3-D which really is no different than 2-D for me but yeah I really enjoyed it and laughed a lot. My parents enjoyed it, too.

I've seen it twice, both 3D and 2D. I'd see it again in a heartbeat. Toothless is my hero!

I was surprised the look of Toothless worked so well.

In the ads he just looked like an axolotl, which is really disappointing from a 'dragon' point of view. I was pretty annoyed because I figured they did it just so they could stop the pretenders in the 'cuddly toy' market. (Basically they need something unique - Happy Feet had the problem that plenty of people bought stuffed toy penguins after the film ... but almost none of them were official 'Happy Feet' stuffed penguins. Since they all look 99.9% identical it was hard to stop the pretenders)

In the film he also looked exactly like an axolotl- but it really worked. I was surprised.

Another really nice thing - the 'In the memory of Blake Snyder' at the end.

It was a film that he would have approved of.

I saw Dragons on the same day that I saw Kick Ass. Both great movies, but Dragons tugged at my heart a bit more. I can't explain why it was so wonderful, but I absolutely love it. I plan on seeing it again today once I get out of work. <3

Best film of the year so far. Stunning character and environment animation.
