Film opinion: DreamWorks produces brilliantly faithful ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ live-action remake

The general discourse surrounding this recent flurry of live-action remakes seems to always fall on either side of ‘This is exactly the same as the original; why did they even bother making it?’ or ‘The story has been completely changed; they’ve ruined it.’ 

This seems pessimistic all around.

But, as Film News Blitz’s Heidi Hardman-Welsh explains, DreamWorks has stuck the landing with its live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon.
