I guess my thoughts for the first act is; "Bioware game side-plot the movie; now with 20% more exposition! and some cool scenes to make you think we're cutting up the tedium"

The second act really hammers home the beautiful visuals, and has some sweet scenes between Stoick and Valka.

The third act just felt like it was going through the motions more than anything else. But in the end I am somewhat glad that the movie didn't decide to go with the more obvious plot threads (i.e. 'we found a girl for Toothless!' and 'Hiccup rebels against being chieftain').

I'd say that it's a solid 7/10 movie, has some great points; unfortunately few of them really make the movie excel on a mechanical level.
