Media Review: How to train your dragon 2

How to Train Your Dragon 2

  How to train your dragon was released on June 13 2014 by DreamWorks Animation film studios. 
How to train your dragon is the movie that I'm doing for my movie review. I found it a fun adventure epic movie that was enjoyable for the whole family.


    In summary How to train your dragon 2 is a sequel to the movie adaption of the books written about Hiccup a viking teenage boy who unlike his other villagers isn't very good at killing dragons but is clever and quick-witted. But in the first movie he ends up befriending a dragon which turns out to be of great help in his adventure in the sequel. Drago Bludvist is a tyrant who uses his own tamed Dragon (that can hypnotize other dragons) into wielding an army of dragons who he wished to conquer various Islands with. Hiccup tries to reason with him fails and when retreating finds his long-lost mother (thought dead) mother. Eventually he defeats Drago and all is safe once again on Berk.   My favorite part was the reunion of Hiccup and his mother Valka and how they both had a love of dragons and while Valka had more knowledge of dragons Hiccup did what she thought couldn't be done and convinced the other viking that dragons aren't evil. It also showed us the BewilderBeast albeit unlike Drago's it was more peaceful.

 I otherwise enjoyed the fight scene of Drago and Hiccup though the dragon to dragon fight was interesting with how Toothless eventually managed to shake off the hypnosis wen it mattered. 
 My least favourite part was when they encountered the dragon trapping ship, I think that if they hadn't known about it they could've been more angry as dragons had shown they had intelligence and Drago was making them slaves. I didn't think they added enough reasoning for Valka abandoning her family. I also wondered why the evil BewilderBeast followed Drago and thought they didn't add enough of a back story so it got confusing.

Generally and overall How to train your dragon was a great movie for my family and so I would give it a 7.5/10 because while it had dragons but also humour I didn't like a few parts for a couple of reasons such as while the book described things totally different I thought it a good change except for less details. Toothless also really seemed more defined then the lovable pet dragon of the last movie. The movie was delightful and I thought it deserved 7.5 out of 10 stars very much.

Games Review- World's Hardest Game

World's Hardest Game

 Developed in 2007 by AddictingGames most people agree it's very difficult.
 The Worlds hardest game is a rather misleading title as it's hard but more frustrating really. You can download it on phone,tablet,Ipad or play it on the computer. It's a fun game as long as you don't get angry with the constant dying.
   
The point of the game is that you a red square get the yellow circle(s) while trying to avoid the moving blue circles that can kill you to get to the green areas that allow you into the next level. 
Image result for worlds hardest game  That sounds simple enough in theory, but ends up being a hard task most players are angered by. People still keep on playing though and playing to pass the level and it ends up being addicting. 

   I really liked it because while it was challenging it was always sucking me in so I kept playing though I died a lot at first eventually the game gets easier as you keep playing. To play the game you have to keep calm while figuring out a way to pass the hard levels. Its not really that hard to play and by later levels you get the hang of it easily.

Image result for level 30 worlds hardest game There's 30 levels in all and most don't ever reach the last level without copious amounts of help from game-plays and walkthroughs. 

 The difficulty of the levels increases by each level which is even more annoying. But overall the game while hard isn't really that complicated. It's more how the game would annoy most people because while it. I liked the game and the only part that really was annoying to me was the constant irritating music you can't turn off.
  
My rating is a 3 out of 5 while the game keeps your interest for a while you get frustrated by it's difficulty you also can't help but keep on playing. The background music also really annoyed me. I liked the simplicity even though it was quite hard. So while I enjoyed the game I liked it at the same time as the game was addicting so I think it thoroughly earned 3 stars out of five.
