This movie was the first one where though it was different than the book (aside from the names), it didn't ruin the book or bored me out. every minute was worth watching. Imax 3D made it all the better. I don't watch movie often, but this one made a strong impression in me. It was a first time in a long time since I've feel like watching a movie again after it has ended. A new kind of story... a new kind of ending... If you're looking for a story with dragons, packed with humor and a strong message, this is the one.
