I'm stunned at how well made this is
I mean considering how abysmal the second movie was, I expected way worse. I mean it's not the most interesting thing I've seen in terms of characters and plot, but it is so well made. Look at the sets, the clothes, the quality of special effects, the decent enough acting. Even the dragon looks pretty good when we first see it stretch its wings. Looked a little bit crappy when it had a heart, but eh, gotta give them credit that you can tell people actually put effort into this.
It may not be the most interesting of scripts, but it just happens to be better written than a lot of block busters raking in the cash at the box office these days. How fun to see some enthusiasm and effort put in the damndest of places!
