So I'm in my mid 30's and I never saw the original...or if I have, I don't remember. Anyway, this movie is pretty dang amazing. I'm not sure exactly where to start, but I feel like I can say that this movie would stand up against the 80s era classics with a straight face. I could easily see it being considered a classic that your kids will show their kids when they grow up. Oakes Fegley really does shine as Pete. Usually child actors are the weakest parts of movies, but I think he was the anchor. He does such an incredible job making you think that this CGI dragon is his best friend and very much real...which makes for a much more of an emotional movie than I was expecting.
Overall, I can't give it anything other than 4 wing wangs out of 4. I want to give it less because I generally don't care to have dang allergies in a theater, but it deserves high praise.
