How To Train Your Dragon is another wonderful "underdog prevails" story from the talented folks at DreamWorks. In this case, our underdog is a Viking teenager who doesn't quite live up to his Dad's ideal of Vikingness. However, when he designs a new slingshot and nets himself the baddest of all the dragons, an unlikely friendship develops that changes the lives of dragons and Vikings alike.

I am a great fan of Tolkien's book The Hobbit. And that is why I'm not a great fan of this movie. The departures the movie takes from the book are too many, too great, and simply not in the spirit of Tolkien. The added love story between a dwarf and an elf is simply ludicrous. And extending this story across three separate films is a blatantly commercial act designed to soak as many dollars out of this franchise as possible. It's a shame, because there is otherwise some fine acting and great cinematography and effects in this film. If you've never read the book, perhaps you can appreciate this film more than I did. But for those of us who have spent countless hours immersed in Tolkien's adventure story, be prepared for some plot and character modifications that will baffle you.

What's great about it: Good action sequences
What's not so great: Script not in the spirit of Tolkien
An incredible story. Unforgettable characters. A land full of possibilities. Game of Thrones season 2 is all this and more. Arya. Cersei. Tyrion. Joffrey. Daenerys. Jon. Bran. Theon. And still it's only a partial list of the great characters populating this drama. The Battle of Blackwater - a scene that will live forever. And the season-ending scene - I won't give it away here, but it will make your blood freeze. Don't miss this installment!
What's great about it: A story that will captivate your imagination
What's not so great: The graphic violence level is a bit high
