The female dragon mirrors this in her relationship with Toothless.īut the movie's visuals really are special. The central human relationship between Hiccup and Astrid ( America Ferrera) has little chemistry and presents a curious example for kids: We're told (not really shown) that these two love each other and are expected to marry, but there's not much evidence that they actually do nurture and support each other. There's more than one "secret" battle inside strongholds, that - despite screaming, clanging, and things being burned to the ground - somehow don't alert other warriors. There is a memorable mating dance, of sorts, for Toothless and his lady dragon, that's among the series' more charming moments. The humor, except in flashes (such as Kristen Wiig's Ruffnut annoying her captors, or visual details such as Jonah Hill's Snotlout's failed mustache), falls flat. Writer-director Dean DeBlois is still at the helm, but there's some magic missing this time around. This series' secret weapon has always been its gorgeous, atmospheric visuals the third installment continues that strength but is weaker in other areas.
