Stephen Thompson: 我认为真人版《驯龙高手》在故事和角色上都非常出色,但我对翻拍的必要性表示怀疑。尽管我喜欢这部电影传达的非暴力信息,但大量的CGI让我觉得这更像是一种技术展示,而不是真正的创意表达。我甚至觉得用Henson的木偶来制作这部电影会更有趣,更有创意。 Jordan Morris: 我非常喜欢《驯龙高手》系列,尤其是动画三部曲。我喜欢这个故事和角色,但我很难理解为什么要将动画电影翻拍成真人版,而且几乎是逐帧翻拍。如果真的要制作真人版,我更希望看到一个发生在同一世界观下的全新故事,而不是简单地重复一遍已经成功的故事。这种翻拍让我觉得毫无意义,就像高中生表演百老汇歌舞表演一样。 Regina Barber: 我认为真人版《驯龙高手》最大的问题在于它太接近动画电影了,就像把真人直接插入到动画中一样,这让我感到不舒服。我更喜欢《谁陷害了兔子罗杰》那种将真人与动画巧妙结合的方式,或者像环球影城那样,制作出逼真的没牙仔机器人。此外,真人版在喜剧效果上也不如动画版,新演员的表演风格与电影的整体氛围不太协调。
