How to Train Your Dragon 2 review + others

Figured I should keep FA updated with all my movie-watching shenanigans, since that's about as creative as I get!
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 - this is one of the most visually spectacular films I have ever seen. It has that not-so-obvious cute factor that Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois have bought to all of their creations (like Lilo & Stitch), coupled with depth of character reality in the sense that the world they inhabit is always so rich and busy. The storytelling blew me away - it's dark, it's very adult - sweet, touching, endearing - I'm quite lost for any more words to describe, but then again anyone that enjoyed the first won't require any convincing. The 3D that Dreamworks deploy is worth the extra money - they are masters at the craft.
A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST - some moments of hilarity ensue, but they're mostly extended clips from the redband trailer. It's a fun watch, but it's not great - I would suggest just as good on Bluray or wait for the tickets to be discounted. I do have a soft spot for Seth McFarlane - he's a clever guy, but this one just isn't his best work.
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS - actually a really good teen/young adult film which handles some heavy/dark concepts extremely well and in quite a grown-up way. I really enjoyed this one - it's charming and quite poignant, though obviously a tear-jerker.
And y'all have seen X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST already so I'll just say that Hugh Jackman's ass is a wonderful thing. I think MILLION DOLLAR ARM has pretty much been and gone in the USA, but it is pretty good if you were on the fence - charming, inspiring - probably a Bluray watch though! :)

I gotta say that that's what I kind of expected from AMWTDITW. As much as I want to see it it's just going to feel like a really long episode of Family Guy or American Dad. Trailers tend to ruin some of the funnier jokes in films since they are grasping at straws to find scenes that will make you want to see it but also ruin otherwise fun surprises like the whole Back to the Future reference that they just HAD to show in a trailer.
and '' a 1000000 Way to die in the west'' Just watched the trailer all i can think of is: WTF xD xD can't wait to watch that too
