Review Days 2: How to Train Your Dragon

I'm back again!

Today I'm gonna do a review about the 2 films of How to Train Your Dragon.
It's been a while since....wait...I watch How to Train Your Dragon 2 just one day ago.

I could do to apart reviews of both films, but decided to do them together, that would be more funner. And easier. So, let me continue.
 It's easier to start with the first film. It has been a while since I first watched that one.
My family and I started watching it after my best friend said it was fantastic. We had seen a lot of disney movies and we though, why not this one. :) But we didn't watch the entire film. We didn't like it so much at that time and sadly we closed it. :( So, I went watching it on my own because I really wanted to know how it went.

IT WAS SUPERB!

I'm not a girl who loves Vikings and dragons so much, but this film (using this word instead of movie, cause it sounds better) was SO GOOD!! I enjoyed it and thought at myself: We have to watch this together. And we did, a few months later after I watched it. My brothers, sisters and I watched it in my sisters room. WE ALL LOVED IT!!
 DRAGONS ARE COOL......

If you don't know what's the film or never heard of it, here's the main story so you have a clue.

A young Viking (named Hiccup) who asprises to hunt dragons becomes the unlikely friend of a young dragon himself, and learns there may be more to the creatures then he assumed.

There, now you know. It's a mouth full. :)
The main character himself, Hiccup. I think he's really cute and he has a lovely voice.
The way he acts around dragons is really amazing. And the fact that he couldn't kill a dragon and made a difference of the other Vikings is really special. How he contects with dragons.
In film 2 he growned up to a young man and everyone in his village is friends with dragons. He still has his own dragon who he saved in the first film, named Toothless.


Of course there is a girl involved.πŸ™Š There mostly is. Astrid is her name. We see in film 1 Hiccup has a crush on her almost his whole life and he first tries to get her attention, but nothing works, cause she's not interested in him. She focusing to become a dragon warrior.
They do get together at the end. I must say it isn't so romantic, like swooming or whatsoever. That's cool you know, I love their relationship and how they act together. Although you don't see them together all the time in film 2, they do spend time together.
there cute, aren't they? (How to Train Your Dragon 2)

There are other characters but I'm not going to write about them, others this review will be too long and that's quite boring.

The person I will be mentioning is Hiccup's dad, cause he's an important character in the films.
Stoick (that's his name) isn't glad with his son and does everything to change Hiccup, but he won't listen and makes mostly of the time a mess with everything. Stoick lost his leg during a fight with dragons and since that, dragons are his enemy and that's how it all started. Dragons became enemies instead of friends. But eventually Stoick sees that dragons are actually kind creatures and they mean no harm, they just want to protect themselves.

But in film 2 things get wrong. This is as spoiler if you haven't seen 2 yet. Stoick dies while rescuing his only son. I really was suprised when he died. I was like......waaiitt what?😯 I didn't expected that. IT WAS SO SAD! I almost cried, but I didn't.

I think why this films are so fun is that the ends don't always have an happy ending. They do, but during the film things happen which keep suprising me.

WE SEE HICCUP'S MOM!!! in film 2!
She's so sweet and I loved that they put her in the film, that she was actually alive after all these years Hiccup thought she was dead, taken by dragons. She was taken by dragons, but she stayed away to save Hiccup and his dad. Through those years, she took care of the other dragons.
Well, nothing to say anymore. 

Aren't dragons the cutest?!

I really love the fact that in these films the dragons aren't mean, but sweet and innocent. My favourite dragon is Toothless, but that's obviously, cause you see him a lot. He and Hiccup are the best and they have such a connections that's really special.

I hated the fact that in film 2 there was a mean man who controlled a big black dragon who looked like a gigantic spider + elephant. That man tried to steal all the dragons from the good dragon (who looks the same like the other dragon but only white) and then control the land or something. Everyone called both an alfa of the dragons.
So then the big bad alfa defeated the big good alfa and has the power over all the dragons.
And then Hiccup's dad dies, but they won't give up yet. Finally at the end everything is well.
Toothless is the alfa of the dragons and Hiccup is the new chief.
I love how good they animated everything!The scenery and houses are simply beautiful. The dragons are wow and the people are pretty, even the ugly onces.
*sorry, I shouldn't have said that, everyone is beautiful in there own ways*
It must have been a LOT of work creating a simple film. Good job directors!
I guess again we have comed to an end. It was quite hard reviewing two films, so the next time I will just be reviewing one and then the other one if there are two parts of the film.

AND, before we close up todays review, there is coming a How to Train Your Dragon 3 in 2019!!

Review Days 1: Beauty and the Beast (2017)

such a gorgeous edit
This one I just watched a few days ago with my beautiful family.
When the trailer got out, I was so excited to see this, but I had to wait quite a long time before I actually could see it. I was waiting forever. BUT now I've watched it. I actually first watched it on my own, cause we weren't in the whole disney magic fase. :) So basically this is the second time I've watched it. :D
So when the announced the film and when the trailer got there, there where popping up pictures of the cast and the film and I got more excited. Why do they do that always?

AND THEN I GOT TO WATCH IT!!!

IT WAS SPLENDID, JUST SPLENDID.

I loved it a LOT. Such a delight to watch such movies.Maybe even more delightful then Cinderella (2015).


\My experience of the movie//


> I felt I was there
> It drove me to different place
> Belle's just beautiful
> Even beasts can be kind...even though it doesn't look like that
> WHITE horses are magical
> Snow can't come any faster in my country, I need snow
> Castles are FANTASTIC
> Why are there so mean people on the earth?
> Matthew Crawley plays in it..... :D
> Animated things are delightful and funny
> A spell can be horrible
> Even bad people can change into good people
Finally, a prefect film (cause I like this word more than movie) to watch.

The story (just in case you forgot)

Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman is taken prisoner by a beast in a castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle's enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast hideous appearence and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within.

Isn't that compelling?πŸ˜ƒ

AREN'T THEY THE CUTEST?

The beast looks kinda weird, but the outside doesn't matter, it's the inside that matters the most.
Imagine falling in love with a beast.πŸ˜‚ That sounds silly, doesn't it? Why am I saying this?
First of all, the chemistry between Dan and Emma is amazing, not a lot of actors have that. You can see it right when they work together.
The directors did an amazing job choosing the cast. I read on internet that there where many people who thought Emma Watson wasn't the perfect Belle, but come on! She did an splendid job and she's so sweet. I didn't liked her first, but that's just because I didn't know her well.

Emma Watson is beautiful as Belle. I first didn't like her as Belle, but come on!!! I'M STUPID.
She has this perfect innocent and fierce role as Belle. And her voice is so soft and beautiful.
There are a lot of people who said Emma lacked as her role as Belle, but I don't believe that. She simply amazing. No other actress could pull that off like Emma did. I must say she not perfect, but no one is perfect, we all have our mistakes and not-perfect things. THERE is no one who's perfect, even though people do say that.
Anyway, let's continue, before I go further on the topic and forget that I'm doing a review about Beauty and the Beast. :)

Dan is a brilliant beast. I loved his singing voice, it's was very deep, yet magical. Look at me fangirling *laughs* I must say I'm not a big fan of Dan Stevens. He's an great actor and plays his roles amazing, but not my fav. I loved the backstory of the Beast, how he was really angry and ungrateful. Not that that is fun, but you get me. And the fairy comes in and puts a spell on him and his servants and they are doomed forever untill the Prince can find love again. And that's kinda hard if you're turned into a Beast. And the castle is covered with snow for eternity.
Ahh, let's talk about the staff, who's been enchanted with the Prince. It's sad though, because of the stupidity of the Prince they got into this whole mess of him. But I've never seen such sweet and devoted staff. I love the voice of Emma Thompson, who plays the teapot, so sweet and soft. But all of their voices are great. Lumiere's was the funniest. Mrs Pott's little boy is sweet too. And they were all so lovely against Belle.
I loved seeing them turning in humans again, I didn't expect it quite. 

YIKES! Gaston. I hated him already the first time I saw him. So full of himself. 😟
I liked LeFou. Gaston treated him very badly and was glad he (although it's almost at the end) turned against Gaston and helped the Beast's servants. πŸ‘
That's all I have to say about those twoπŸ˜‚

The scenery was simply gorgeous!!! I loved the snow at the castle and inside the castle.
What I loved the most about the castle was the hugh library. JUST WOOWW!!! I would love to be there one day, even though it's animated. :)
All the details in the castle, the lights, candles and even the GOLD was splendid.
Mostly everything was animated, because it's kinda hard to find real place where you can film. But some things are real, like the books Belle is holding.

I love all the cast their accentsπŸ˜ƒ It's just scrumptious.

The scenes where sweet, especially the moments between the Belle and the Beast.
The film has a touch of drama, romantic and funny moments in it. I love how it's isn't all about romance, there is action in it too. I must say I ABSOLUTELY love that in films.
And when the Beast sets Belle free.....awwwww...so sweet of him. And she came back! Then the beast dies cause horibble Gaston shoots him, just awful. But I'm happy the Beast turns into a good prince again, the spells is broken and everyone returns human again. And they lived all happily ever after. 

You know when Belle enters the castle and the animated characters start to talk, imagine if it was you. I would just run out of the castle, leaving my father there! πŸ˜‚ I don't know what I would do actually, but I would be scared....

The famous dress. I was waiting for the dance scene where Belle appeard in a beautiful dress. I was quite dissapointed, cause I don't like the dress so much. And it's isn't because it's YELLOW, it can be a gorgeous colour. But because the shape and the model of the dress. It could be done better, BUT besides that, it's a gorgeous dress, I really love the little golden details in the dress. :)

Ahh, the dance scene is so cute and beautiful. I LOVED THE BALLROOM!!!! It was so beautiful decorated and Belle and the Beast shined so bright together. To tigh the knot, Mrs Pott was singing!!!!
Doesn't Emma Thompson has a lovely voice?!
This is a dress I liked more than the ball gown Belle worn. This is her second/wedding gown and it's quite splendid. I don't know if it's really a wedding gown, but let us just say it is. :) A whole WOW in one word. This dress is simply beautiful, with all those flowers and this simple white.
Told you they are the cutest!!!!
Well, I quess this is the end. I have pointed out my opinion about this film and a bit of everything.
Thank you all for reading this and there is more to come!! <3
This interview, it's so cute!
