(This review may contain spoilers).
I’ve seen the previous two films, so when I saw there was a third one coming out, I decided I immediately wanted to see it. And it was really great to see all of the old faces… though quite sad to see Robin Williams, considering he passed away earlier this year.
I liked that this film showed the origins of the tablet that brings the things in the museum to life. There were some pretty cool special effects in this film, particularly at the beginning with the constellations.
It was cool that this film took us on a trip to London. It was pretty awesome to see the beginning set in Egypt, too. I really liked the family dynamics in this film, with Larry and his son and Ahkmenrah and his parents.
It was really cool to see Lancelot in this, though I would have quite liked to see more representations from legends. I have to agree with Octavius, though. He really is quite attractive.
There were quite a few amusing moments in this, especially with the monkey, Dexter… but it was good to see that there were some more serious, emotional scenes too. It was also really cool to see Hugh Jackman playing himself, too. (I also have to agree on the Wolverine thing).
There were quite a few other actors I recognised in this film, too. It was really entertaining to watch and there were a few times I found myself laughing out loud. Laa was quite amusing, but there were scenes that were quite sweet with him.
I think I’d definitely buy this film on DVD at some point in the future. It’s one I’d like to watch again.
For me, I know our family was really looking forward to ‘How To Train Your Dragon 2’ this past year. It ended up getting a really mixed reaction from me and the kids though. I think the ‘How It Should End’ guys really knocked it out of the park in how HTTYD 2 SHOULD have ended. http://c.mily.co/62062n . Couldn’t agree more.
I quite enjoyed watching How To Train Your Dragon 2, personally, but I did have a couple of mixed feelings about the ending.
