Sulla selvaggia isola di Berk, dove vichinghi e draghi sono stati acerrimi nemici per generazioni, Hiccup è diverso dagli altri. Figlio geniale ma sottovalutato dal capo Stoick l'Immenso, Hiccup sfida secoli di tradizione stringendo un'insolita amiciza con Sdentato, un temibile drago Furia Buia. Questo legame inaspettato rivela la vera natura dei draghi, mettendo in discussione le fondamenta stesse della società vichinga.

Not to harp on, but remakes used to try to add to or alter something in the original: the gender swap of His Girl Friday; the ’80s Miami excess of Scarface; even the more restrained flourishes of Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella compared to the Disney original. This one just tries to do the same thing again, and while it does it well — while it can’t help but do it well, given how much everyone involved in this obviously loves the original — that’s all it does. Given the animated film so heavily adapted the Cressida Cowell books on which it was based, you’d think the makers of this new version could have played a little looser with the source and really let themselves fly. It’s clearly made with real love and care, but shows far too much deference to its progenitor. Even in a remake, we need more originality and less playing the hits.
