 My Review:
Being a fan of the How To Train Your Dragon movies I couldn't resist but to give this a watch at the cinema the first chance I got and I was so happy I did as this film was so much better than I thought it would be.

I thought that this film was great and really stayed true to the other films in this trilogy. By showing how Hiccup is still saving the dragons and how they are safe and free because of him and the others that are helping to save them from poachers I think is good to see as it shows how people who don't live on their island still don't like dragons. Not only this but by having a Light Fury appear which gives Toothless the chance to find love was really sweet and showing how she didn't like the humans and didn't trust them so kept disappearing away from Toothless even though he really wanted to be with her showed how vulnerable the dragons still were. Having parts of this movie go to the past where Hiccup was a child and his dad told him about The Hidden World showed how his father was still helping Hiccup even though he was no longer around and helping to save the dragons in which were on the land by keeping them hidden from hunters. Personally, I did like that they had a villain in which was trying to capture Toothless in order to kill him as it showed how people still were hunting dragons and didn't like them and later in the movie when the audience find out why Grimmel was killing Night Fury the audience could understand the character a lot more. However, I also didn't like how Grimmel was using the dragons own venom in which they produced in order to drug them into doing exactly what he wanted and made them not even able to listen to Toothless which was an alpha for the dragons. This made me feel so sorry on them and wish that they were able to get a happy ending which unfortunately they are not able to get. As the dragons do get closer I think it is really sweet seeing Toothless try to impress the Light Fury and how he isn't great at it but that doesn't stop him, later in the movie as Toothless is going to die and Hiccup tells the Light Fur to save him is able to bring them closer together and she realises that Hiccup really cares for Toothless and is willing to give his life for him making her save both. I thought the ending was really emotional when the audience see how Toothless and all the other dragons leave to go to The Hidden World and no longer are living with the humans for their own safety, when after you see Hiccup older and with children and Toothless seems like he is going to attack them until he realises it is Hiccup is such a happy moment in which made me very close to tears and shows how even though friends might leave your life they will always mean something to you and you will always have a bond.

I couldn't fault this movie and thought it was the perfect way to end the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy. I would highly recommend this movie to families as well as those who are fans of the trilogy and like dragons which also has comedy. I am definitely going to be seeing this again!

 My Rating: 5/5

I Am Wrath (film review) *contains spoilers*

Film: I Am Wrath Year: 2016 Genre: Action, Crime, Drama Directed By: Chuck Russell Starring: John Travolta, Christopher Meloni, Amanda Schull About:  A man is out for justice after a group of corrupt police officers are unable to catch his wife's killer. Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwiQCDpYzjE My Review: When my mum came home with this movie I had no idea what to expect as I had never heard of it before but liking a lot of movies with John Travolta I had high hopes that I would enjoy it. This film did surprise me a lot and something in which I enjoyed a lot more than I had expected. Starting I Am Wrath with Stanley's wife dying and how he went out for revenge made me think that this was somewhat based off of a John Wick movie, however as a fan of the trilogy this didn't bother me at all. Showing how the police and people higher up didn't care about who killed his wife and even let the killer go as he was part of a gang in which the police wer...

However, when one of the students gets obsessed with him she will do anything to be with him including secluding him from everyone else. I liked the foreshadowing at the beginning of the movie which matched up to the ending very well and shows how throughout the movie that this was coming up. I also liked how the film showed how...

Film:  Fred Claus Year:  2007 Genre:  Comedy, Family, Fantasy Directed By:  David Dobkin Starring:  Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, Elizabeth Banks About:  Fred Claus, Santa's bitter older brother, is forced to move to the North Pole to help Santa and the elves prepare for Christmas in exchange for cash. Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzXjtxZaGS8 My Review: Over the Christmas period I decided to watch some films that I hadn't previously seen before and one of those being  Fred Claus  I thought that this was different to other Christmas movies as it focus' on Santa's brother rather than on Santa himself but also on how to keep Christmas alive and not have it closed down. By having Vince Vaughn as the main character in this I had good expectations for this movie as I generally enjoy everything in which I have seen him in. I thought that  Fred Claus  was good in how it showed how Nicholas became a saint and how h...
