Despicable Me is a decent enough little animated film about one man's quest to be the world's top super villain, although eventually it becomes obvious he simply wants to be a famous astronaut. It's sort of a classic story about a redeemable villain, but in all honesty Gru doesn't seem very villainous. He's stolen the Times Square jumbotron, but thats so his minions (aliens? a genetically created servitor race? Gremlins?) would have a super size TV to watch football on. In fact Gru seems more like a mere antisocial outcast who treats those he likes with kindness, and those he doesn't know with rejection and loathing. It often seems like he and his minions are more like a cooperative team than Master and Slaves the way the old Sci Fi movies usually show Mad scientists and their minions. He even pays them. What kind of evil Mad Scientist pays his Minions and buys them gifts? When it seems as if his dreams of space travel are crushed the Minions even pool their own personal money to help him out. Honestly he seems more of a gruff, self centered butthead than an evil monster. The movies world is an interesting place with Mad Scientist villains in the every day news, most of them financed by Lehman Brothers, now known as the Bank of Evil. And it's rife with oddball inventions (my favorite being the Pirhana Gun). So while it's not a masterpiece of animation due to little flaws, it's a lot more enjoyable than most of the crap playing this summer. Fans of the old Looney Tunes style cartoons will particularly enjoy the Minions whenever they get screen time.

Vikings were known to be vicious, but fighting dragons? This story will give you a taste of what its like to train a dragon, not that you'll ever need it...I think.

I loved this movie and dreamworks did a great movie.I think that movie is still # 1 in the boxoffice

oh my, when I saw the movie and I love Mark Wahlberg in this movie because he is shirtless in this movie.

I know what you?re thinking; another mass produced meaningless Hollywood CGI movie, made on a tight budget and released to coincide with a TV show and a line of action figures. I thought the same thing, in fact I had not even heard of How to Train Your Dragon until a few days before its premier. I?m very glad that I did not pass this one by; it is not a film to miss. A small Viking village sits on an island in the middle of the sea; this village has a serious dragon problem. The pests raid the tiny village, destroying houses and steeling livestock. A young Viking by the name of Hiccup who not only has the unfortunate name of Hiccup but is of an abnormally small stature for his clan, he is relegated to fetch work, to small and weak to assist in the defense of his home. Hiccup desires to be like his heroic father, and uses his knowledge of machinery to construct a device to capture a dragon. His invention succeeds but when it comes time to strike the killing blow, proving himself to his clan, he hesitates, unable to murder the creature. Instead he befriends the crippled dragon in secret, learning that these great enemies are not what they have been made out to be. The Computer Animation is of the highest quality, impressively rendering the massive hairy beards and fur coats of the Viking warriors. Seriously some of the most impressive technically and colorful CGI I have ever witnessed. The many battle scenes and the wonderful character animations are extremely impressive. A vibrate technical achievement. Very well done voice acting, by a well-rounded attractive cast, of particular note was Gerard Butler as Stoick the Vast; the perfectly voiced, gruff but affable Viking chieftain, and Craig Ferguson as the hilarious Gobber the Belch; a drill sergeant, constantly dispensing bad advice and witty remarks. The team at DreamWorks Animation and directors Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders have crafted a great movie, a technical showpiece and filled with wonderful fantasy storytelling. I loved this film; I loved the delightful characters, the funny dialog, and their electrifying exploits. It exemplifies everything I love about animated films; it frees the filmmaker from the logistics of live action, no though of sets or cameras, the only thing holding them back is imagination. How to Train Your Dragon is not only among the best of animated films, it is one of the best pure fantasy movies in memory; an enchanting, lighthearted adventure.

I loved the movie. it had a great plot line that i could follow.. the humor was outstanding.. great acting though the whole movie.

This was a great movie for what it was worth. I would not go out and buy it, but it's a good mindless movie to rent when you're not in the mood to think. http://www.answerblip.com

This is the prototypical example of a film's trailer being FAR better than the film itself. In fact, if you've seen the trailer, don't bother watching the movie at all. It deserves no more of a person's time than a cliffs notes, abbreviated recap. The entire running time feels like a failed pilot episode to what would make a bad sit-com. Barely a chuckle in sight, nothing particularly funny or rememberable at all with even Mila Kunis' amazing beauty wasted and held in check. The most unremarkable film of the year that really can't even be labeled as a comedy.
