This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a HTTYD fan since 2017, and someone who loves the series, I can say that I believe in all honesty that The Hidden World is not just the worst of the trilogy, but probably the worst Animated Movie in the last few years. The plot is borderline incomprehensible at points, the characters don't feel alive but more like puppets of the plot, and the dragon flirting scenes drag on for too long (pun intended), the villain is a total idiot who only succeeds based on luck and the main character's being stupider than they ever were in the previous two, and a forced "Humans don't deserve Dragons, Humans are bad and you should feel bad cause your bad just for being Human. Bye bye Dragons" message at the end.

Hiccup has gone from someone who always does the right thing, who doesn't give up easily (or at all) to someone who would rather run from their problems and give up on trying to make peace with Dragons work (even though it was already working for SIX YEARS up to that point). Toothless has gone from a fiercely loyal, lovable in the "he's just as much a dork as Hiccup" and also that factor of "I want respect" and been turned into less of a dragon and more of a dog which wants to f##k and nothing else. As someone who's favorite character is HTTYD1 and 2 Toothless, seeing this version of 'Toothless' made me wonder when they'd actually bring THW out and stop showing us this fake. Also, suddenly this Toothless is now the King of All Dragons just so Dean can say it was responsibility that tore them apart, not Toothless wanting to f##k.

Grimmel's plans only work because of stupid f##k-ups which characters previously wouldn't have made or pure dumb luck. The Light Fury was just sitting in the forest unchained, if she had woken up earlier and flown off, Grimmel's plan to "lure Toothless away" would've been dead in the water. If Toothless and the Light Fury had gone to the Hidden World (which isn't very hidden, being a gigantic **** hole in the ocean) and not come back then Grimmel's plan would've been derailed. If Ruffnut had looked back at all on the flight to New Berk or Ruffnut had not been left behind in the first place, Grimmel would've taken much longer if not never have been able to find the Berkians.

And now let's talk about the Light Fury. I hate her, she is a plank of wood sprayed with a white variant of Flint Lockwood's Spray On Shoes. She has zero personality to speak of, and the only reason she exists is to tear Hiccup and Toothless apart so Dean doesn't have to make a fourth movie, also so Dean can push his message of "Humans bad agghh"
The Riders act like bumbling idiots in this movie, now somehow unable to work without their dragons even though the last act of HTTYD2 literally had them working together, WITHOUT DRAGONS, to distract the Alpha. Valka has zero to no relevance to the story or Hiccup's character besides one scene. If you were hoping to get more of Valka and how she and Hiccup interact, you'll be majorly disappointed.

Berk in this movie has been transformed into a seizure inducing sensory overload hell, I would rather drink boiling water than look at this movie's Berk for more than a few hours. New Berk is the most geographically impossible location I've ever seen, and the actual Hidden World is literally a underground cage just dressed up to look like some fantastical world, when it reality it isn't.

Also the forced separation at the end is only so Dean doesn't have to make sequels. Dragons aren't safe? They literally just DECIMATED the Hunter Fleet with little to no difficulty, and compared to Drago, they didn't even loose anyone or suffer any injuries. Dragons don't belong with Humans? What about the last 6 years where the Dragons were PERFECTLY FINE on Berk?

I could go on and on but I see no point to do so. To cut it short, I'd rather watch paint dry than watch this movie, it'd be more entertaining and less painful. Don't watch The Hidden World.
0/10, would rather slam a rock on my foot than watch again.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So very poor. With repetative and nonsensical storylines. Rampant dragonphilia. Toothless gets another upgrade pulled out of thin air. They continued with that alpha, dragon-king nonsense, despite toothless not having hypnotic powers. They add to its ridiculousness with some magic mind-control venom.
They find a hidden undergorund world where magically there's sunligh. And lots of dragons. And apparently they feed on nothing at all. Of course toothless instantly becomes king and the other dragons bow... Even the Alpha from the second movie. Of course all dragons need to hide there, for some reason...
Such a steep downhill from the first movie to the third. It was painful to watch. It has no sense or palatable story. Only cheaply constructed sentimentalism (dragons good, humans bad), beast love, and equally cheap human romance.
At the end they apparently stayed at a remote unfamiliar island, instead of going home for no reason...
Toothless apparently learnt to fix its mechanical tail on its own BTW.

Good graphics though.

Such a crushing dissapointment. I love the idea of this movie, that sometimes to protect what we love means letting it go, but as the final chapter to the HTTYD it falls flat. It betrays the well established themes of standing up for ourSuch a crushing dissapointment.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unforgivably bad. I've been a fan of HTTYD for years, and they abandoned every last scrap of the series' heart, integrity, and purpose for a glossy and oversaturated Disney rip-off that can't hold the plot together to save its life. Characters behave in whatever way Dean DeBlois requires them to with scant regard for their characterization five minutes in either direction, let alone the past two movies. Plot holes fly fast and thick. Loyal, confident, snarky Toothless has been reduced to a literal slobbering pet, Astrid the inexplicably jealous girlfriend who chastises Hiccup for expecting Toothless to ever come home, Valka an airbrushed-free-of-wrinkles Barbie who dispenses advice on how to be a supportive woman. The Light Fury, our love interest and Toothless's "call to the wild", couldn't be more of a non-character if she tried. Soft and round as playdoh and covered with pink sparkles and heart motifs, the film's crew is unapologetically open about the fact that she only exists to be "feminine and graceful" and offer Toothless "the promise of propagation" despite being an entirely different species. Everything about Toothless seems to disgust her on a visceral level, yet we're supposed to support Toothless when he commands his entire flock of dragons -- down to the last hatchling -- into hunters' cages when she's held hostage. She's never even given a name.

The threats aren't threatening, the characters are shallow and mean-spirited, and the titular Hidden World is barely shown. The villain is a bleached out Snow Miser who succeeds in harming no one; his mind-controlled Deathgripper dragons look scary and thus we're not supposed to care when Toothless murders them for being under the sway of the same chemical as his new girlfriend. The warlords are incompetent boobs and the armada of thousands goes down without a single casualty. And I could forgive all of that, every last bit, if not for the film's reprehensible Aesop; that all the things it preached to us in previous films were actually childish, selfish, and naive. Friendship means little to nothing, different people need to be segregated for their own safety, and your dream of making the world slightly better is stupid. Just sit down and have kids.

Shame on you, Dean DeBlois.

This is probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen, characters that are inconsistent with the previous movies, horrible themes, etc. Even on its own unconnected to the previous movies, the plot is very broken just beneath the surfaceThis is probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen, characters that are inconsistent with the previous movies, horrible themes, etc. Even on its own unconnected to the previous movies, the plot is very broken just beneath the surface and held together with scotch-tape.
