how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 278 comments (228 from Reddit, 46 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 38 of them described how it moves.
➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Very little of it ever resolves. Marked above the line: 1 that landed as a blow, 3 that gave people chills, 1 that got a real laugh.

“it felt a little sluggish compared to the original (especially the arena scenes)”

“Best moment was when Stoick said "whatever happens, I'm proud of you son" and Hiccup replied with something like "That's the only thing that matters to me". Due to the fact that i lost my dad when I was 13 this was incredibly impactful for me so i even let a tear down my cheek.”

“I was terrified they'd fuck up "Forbidden Friendship," my favourite scene in film. It's not as good but it still had the sauce and made me happy.”

“The nighttime part of the Romantic Flight scene felt more like a modelling shoot than a movie. The actress might be strapped to a rig in front of a green screen but Astrid was supposed to be flying through the aurora borealis on a freaking dragon- there was no fear or awe or joy or wonder on her face at all, just expressionless poise.”

“Test Drive (and all the flying sequences) were jaw dropping in IMAX”

“I was surprised by the choir section in the middle of the new Test Drive. The chants were a cool addition.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“There are plot levels here that are deeper than the original, which is quite complex and moving in its own right.”
Soren Andersen, The Seattle Times · 100
“The new version excels because it makes its teenage protagonist deeper and more mature — and its monsters extra frightening.”
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle · 100
“DeBlois elevates a beloved cinema memory and creates a spectacle, a mythical fairy tale—Game of Thrones lite—with enough DreamWorks Animation magic to warrant its own theme park ride.”
Thom Ernst, Original-Cin · 91
“How to Train Your Dragon is the gold-star example of how to do a live-action remake right.”
Maggie Lovitt, Collider · 90
“Original writer/director Dean DeBlois returns for a revamped “Dragon” that feels like a different experience but is just as good as the original, with moments of wonder and awe featuring characters fleshed out in new ways – literally and figuratively.”
Brian Truitt, USA Today · 88

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
