Some thoughts about How To Train Your Dragon since I did watch it and should think about it sometime:

Uncharacteristicaly, I like the majority of the movie, but would like the ending replaced with one that fits where I thought they were going with it. This distinguishes it from every movie I've seen in the last four years, somehow. )

Still, for all that I liked that aspect of the closing, once again I found I liked the movie but wanted the last fifteen minutes rewritten into something in harmony with what went before.

Trivia: The Soviet decision to label Yuri Gagarin's flight as ``Vostok'' (the project's secret name) in the open media, rather than simply listing it as the next of the Korabl-Sputnik flights, was proposed and argued winningly for in camera by spacecraft designer Mikhail Klavdiyevich Tikhonravov.
