Yes I'm over 40, male, and I cried. I've taken my kids to all 3 movies, and we've loved all of them. I must admit, I was nervous going in after watching the diabolical Wreck it Ralph 2. Was this 2nd sequel going to finish on a high?
Absolutely, it didn't let me down. It had heart, it had a great story and an epic finish.
Dreamworks, you've out done pixar on this one, well done!

This is the most beautiful and amazing movie of all time!!! Even I can say that this movie is better than its previous ones, and it's much to say. I've never cried so much with a movie... It can't be better ending for this trilogy. These movies have become my life and now that all is ended, I don't know what will be of me...
I don't understand why DreamWorks Animation is so underrated, so Disney is not always good making movies. DWA deserves the same attention than Disney, just saying that my favorite movies are from DWA.
I need this movie win an Oscar because they deserve a lot since the first one, and because I want everyone see the perfect and awesome these movies are. So, they are the better of this generation. These movies will always be in my heart, and they will be my favorite FOREVER.

The much awaited finale to the dragon saga is here but it doesn't fulfil ones expectations. The visuals are stunning, much better than the previous films. Animation is spot on. The movie is filled with innumerable, vibrant, variegated, goliath dragons each with their eccentric ability. The scene where the hidden world is introduced is absolutely breathtaking, visually and with the synced soundtrack. One could simply re-watch that scene over and over and never get bored. Although the film has much of the fun and frolic to rejoice about, it still denies to deliver something new. There is alot in their basket but only a few things executed. Too many characters introduced but only a few are given the spotlight. The plot isn't that good, it lacks originality and could be better. Much of the story is centered around the chemistry between night fury and light fury, depicted in a rather Bollywood style, consuming much of the film's runtime. Humor is facetious. The purpose of the villian, to be the villian is not very convincing. Most fighting will give u an epiphany, with a question "couldn't they have done this before?" The film feels like the director focused too much on finishing the saga with a sentimental ending and failed to pay attention to the paramount part of the film - "the storyline". When juxtaposing this film to its predecessors I believe that httyd 1 is by far the best, regarding its content...followed by httyd 2 and then httyd3.
Animation - 8/10

Storyline - 6/10
Good for what it is, but in no way better than the first two movies. They simply did not add anything that we haven't already seen. Story was a bit thin and predictable. Humor was spot on and the jokes were well placed. I think will appeal more to a younger crowd than adults.
Still a good entry and a worthy final to a great trilogy!
You need to watch this movie 20 times! It's the epic conclusion of one of the greatest stories ever! You will cry at the end for sure! I had some problems the first 20 minutes with the script, it took some time to connect with the audience. But still the movie was amazing! Was emotional and had memorable moments!!! Best Dreamworks movie, and one of the best animations I've seen!
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn earlier drafts of the film, Drago Bludvist was planned to reprise his role as the movie's main villain, and be redeemed by the end of the story. In a recent interview with Cloneweb, it was revealed that Drago's redemption, and overall return, was scrapped halfway through the movie's production.
- GoofsGrimmel says that Night Furies can't survive in the cold , but in How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) not only did Toothless survive being in icy cold water but also was able to survive in the cold environment that he and Hiccup found themselves in as well as playing in the snow. However, it's possible that he simply does not know about the conditions Toothless could survive in, or he was just generally assuming all Night Furies can't survive in colder temperatures.
- Crazy creditsAt the beginning of the credits, after the title of the film is shown, there are scenes from the previous and current films that shows Hiccup's and Toothless' relationship.
