As a rule, the sequel is always inferior to the more successful original in the novelty of ideas, scenario twists and turns, and in many other ways. But the second part of this franchise was wrong. This is one of the few examples in the cinema of the XXI century, when the continuation is almost better than the first picture. An even more rare case is the presence of successful serial development of events of a larger-screen series of films. In this franchise, the series and short-length television films not only skillfully complement the history, but also fit well into a special chronological framework, while not touching the plots of the main series, with the exception of only some of their consequences. But, as they say, if the sequel and all its tinsel succeed, then triquel certainly seems weak. So it was in the case of the "Jurassic Park III", "Alien 3" and a huge number of franchises starting for health. Surprisingly, "How to tame the dragon 3" came out definitely no worse than its predecessors, so emotionally and touchingly completing the eight-year trilogy. I can safely say that "The Hidden World" is one of the best Dreamworks cartoons, which trikvelov always had problems, which makes this picture even more remarkable in the entire line of films of the animation studio. But first things first!

In the story, a year has passed since the events of the previous film. Hiccup and his team of riders continue to save dragons from hunters, which were too much divorced in the vicinity of the island of Olukh. The very same Viking settlement is teeming with crowds of dragons, which already simply do not have enough space. All live, as they say, in cramps and not mad. But everything changes after one legendary hunter finds out about the existence of the last Male Night Fury (Toothless) and decides to kill him. In principle, a similar outlook was in the second part, only the ideas of Drago Bluedvist, a madman with the goal of subjugating all dragons with the help of a leader, differ from those of Grimmel, a maniac with a thirst for extermination of dragons "for the good of peace among the people." And let's immediately mark the only problem of the film! Despite the quite catchy charisma, the main villain is not remembered by the word at all. Do not think that I did not understand the scriptwriters' intention to highlight Bezubik's relationship with Icking and Day Fury. I understand that the villain is needed here only as a reason for the characters to act, but this is also wrong. Antagonist should not be a third party in the work! As for me, apart from the frankly weak scoundrel, the new part of the adventure of Icking and his dragon does not have any serious disadvantages. There are, of course, smaller defects, but they are completely covered by the positive aspects of the picture.

From the point of view of the script, trikvel pleases us with its unexpected twists, which the advertising campaign has not yet managed to spoil. Of course, clich? moments are naturally present, but one can hardly imagine modern cinema without copying ideas and patterned situations. However, all this is not evident. But what is striking is the absolutely unforgettable visual component. While everyone is discussing the level of graphics in the teaser of the Cold Heart sequel, you risk missing the visual masterpiece that has already been released. Everything is beautiful in the film: from the reflection in the pupils of dragons to realistic fire, from flying over the Hidden World to the beauty of Olukh and its environs. Good tape looks and action scenes. It is worth saying that there is nothing super-scale here, as in the final of the second part. On the contrary, all the battles here are shown in close-up with a sharpening of the spectator's attention on the movements of individual characters. "How to tame the dragon 3" not only looks cool, but it sounds good. The soundtrack is still beautiful, and the main theme is unlikely to get out of your head soon.

What about humor? He still rests on two basic tenets - affection for tomfoolery and dragon habits and interactive humor. Although there was a place for irony and many other varieties. Jokes here do not roll down to the level of Illumination cartoons and that is good.

But most of the positive viewing experience rests on an incredibly touching finale that will knock a tear from the franchise fans of a bygone era. For 8 years of serial and full-length adventures, we managed to love the characters, their environment and, of course, dragons. At the same time, the final shows us only the end of the story of Icking and Toothless, and not the entire franchise. So it is possible that the series will have different plot branches, but it will not be the same.

Separate praise are credits in which we are shown the key moments of the entire franchise. Thank you, Dreamworks!

Summing up, "How to tame a dragon 3: The Hidden World" is almost an ideal cinema for all ages, but the most important thing is that this is the final of one of the best animated films in cinema history. It was brilliant!
