    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: This remake serves almost like a bridge between generations, where nostalgia meets the joy of fresh discovery, and where love for the story can flourish once again – but this time in two hearts instead of one.

    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "How to Train Your Dragon" actually works despite everything. It doesn't matter that there's another, better version out there. It doesn't matter that it's neither necessary nor important, and especially made for kids. You'll be entertained, whether you want to be or not.

  • 8. Uppsala Nya Tidning
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "How to Train Your Dragon" is the antithesis of innovation, but this new outfit still doesn't sit entirely wrong. Heart and action are still in the right places – as long as you can shake off that feeling of déjà vu.

    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: There was nothing here that, in my opinion, justifies why this needed to be live-action or what purpose it serves other than making money and getting families to feel nostalgic.

  • 10. Aftonbladet
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The mere fact that HBO is currently filming a TV reboot of "Harry Potter" makes you scratch your head. It seems somewhat unimaginative since the original films feel impossible to outshine. Just like the case with "How to Train Your Dragon" – why can't we just be satisfied with the originals? Or, believe it or not, come up with something new.
