I expected the worst for this one, but reviews make it out to not a complete disaster.
The review embargo for the “How to Train Train Your Dragon” live-action remake has lifted, and it currently sits at 83% on Rotten Tomatoes (40 reviews) and 65 on Metacritic (11 reviews).
Honestly, not bad for a live-action remake. I’m not the targeted audience for it, but positive ink will surely help it commercially. Internal tracking has the film aiming for a $90M-$100M opening weekend.
Dean DeBlois, who co-wrote and co-directed the original animated trilogy, returns to direct the live-action remake. The film, which stars Mason Thames, Gerard Butler, Nico Parker, and Nick Frost, is set to hit theaters this Friday.
Is “The Exorcist” truly the greatest horror film ever made, or has time crowned a new champion of fear? Maybe it’s “The Shining,” ‘Texas Chainsaw,’ “Psycho,” or something entirely unexpected that still keeps you up at night.
