I'll admit in terms of the How to Train Your Dragon films I'm a bit rusty, in fact very rusty as I have never seen the first one...or the second one. But I decided to go along and see the 3rd one as I'd heard about the hype surrounding it and thought "why not". The kids watching the film were probably less annoying than some of the parents, yes I'm talking to you the woman two rows in front who scrolled through Facebook and your Snapchat stories for half the film, 104 minutes is not a long time to go without social media - maybe give it a go!
I'm sure I'd have understood bits of the film more if I'd seen the other two but I wouldn't deem it as one of those films that make no sense without watching the first in the series. So, don't worry if you have no dragon knowledge and get dragged along to see it.
Hiccup discovers that his dragon Toothless isn't the only remaining Night Fury, and he must find "The Hidden World" that his father always spoke about when he was younger for the dragons to be safe. Whilst Hiccup and the other Berk-ians are searching for The Hidden World, they're being hunted for their dragons by Grimmel, who's been hired to get rid of the dragons. Will Hiccup manage to find the secret dragon paradise before the enemies?
An underlying theme within the film is about growing up, adapting to change and ultimately letting go. It seems to be the perfect finale for this much loved trilogy, as there's a sense of sadness and happiness. A particular thing I loved is that Astrid, Hiccup's eventual wife (spoiler, sorry) isn't just a female character who goes along with what her partner does, she questions, she has her thoughts and ultimately she's fierce, which is definitely something I approve of.
I recommend going to see How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, if you want a quieter experience then maybe wait until it's been out a while however I wouldn't like to say when is the best to avoid the social media obsessed.
