Gerard Butler – We Are Movie Geeks

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (2025) – Review

Some may find it hard to believe, but most critics try to go into a film with no “pre-conceived” notions and expectations. Well, that noble goal is often tested. That was my feeling as I prepared to see yet another “live-action” adaptation of a beloved classic animated feature film. Yes, “another” as this is the third such project to be released this year. Ah, but this does set itself apart from the other 2025 films. The previous two, from March and May, were both from the “Mouse House”, as Disney returned to their “OG” animated icon SNOW WHITE and followed it with a more recent, but adored, property, LILO & STITCH. The latter is still packing the multiplex, while the other…just started streaming on Disney+. Now, this weekend’s release isn’t from them, it’s from a big rival of nearly thirty years, Dreamworks Animation, their very first “re-imagining”. Additionally, it’s helmed by one of the co-directors of the original film, who has brought back one of the voice actors. So do these “upstarts” concoct a “magic movie formula” when they take us back to the world of HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON? Let’s saddle up those scaly “beasties” once more…

In the opening moments. we’re taken back to that land of “long ago”, the island of Berk. Explaining their current “infestation” is the teenage son of the Viking warrior ruler, weapons apprentice Hiccup (Mason Thames). It’s nighttime and they’re under siege by a fierce flying squad of fire-breathing dragons who carry off the livestock. The adults, led by Hiccup’s burly papa Stoick (Gerard Butler), try to stop the swarm with little success. Hiccup is eager to join, but is held back by Stoick’s best pal, the “single-limbed”, having lost an arm and a leg, Gobber (Nick Frost). But Hiccup sneaks out with a device he has invented, a spring-loaded “bolas-launcher”, which he fires at what he thinks is the most savage and deadly dragon, the rarely-seen “Night Fury”. He’s not sure, but it appears something went down in the forest just over the hill. But Stoick will hear none of it as he whisks him back to their home. The next day, Hiccup ventures into the woods and finds the dragon, tied up in the bolas. Unable to strike a fatal blow with his knife, Hiccup frees him, dubbing him “Toothless”. However, he can’t fly away as part of his tail has broken off. Meanwhile, Gobber convinces Stoick to allow Hiccup to be part of his “dragon-fighting” classes. After much pleading, Hiccup agrees and joins a group of trainees., comprised of cocky, brash Snotlout (Gabrielle Howeell), excited “dragon expert/savant” Fishlegs (Julian Dennisen), bickering twins Ruffnut (Bronwyn James) and Tuffnut (Harry Trevaldwyn) and Hiccup’s “secert crush” the gifted fighter Astrid (Nico Parker), who wants to rule Berk someday. Hiccup flounders at class as he continues to visit Toothless, somehow forming a bond, and eventually fashioning a new “tail-piece” that allows the dragon to fly once more…with Hiccup as his rider/pilot. But can he keep his forbidden “friendship” a secret from his class and especially his father? Could this be the start of a new “era” or ignite a bigger war as Hiccup discovers the real agenda of the dragons?

I don’t wish to disparage the original voice cast, but these young, fairly unknown actors really help bring new energy to the familiar property, allowing it to soar to new heights. First, there are the two young, eventually, romantic leads. Thames, so good in BLACK PHONE, gives Hiccup an extra layer of vulnerability while still being a sweet klutz. With his superb body language and facial expressions, he conveys the hero’s journey of the lad, who somehow finds his humanity by helping his sworn enemy. Parker, who was in the disastrous DUMBO remake, strikes the right balance between tough and tender, as the determined and ambitious “no-nonsense” warrior princess (sans crown). She puts up a hard barrier to Hiccup, but Parker, through her gradually relaxed manner, slowly dissolves away. Perhaps the biggest surprise here is the spirited, bombastic work by the story’s “OG”, Butler, who has really grown into the role of bellowing and often clueless papa Stoick. He brings an electric charge to every scene, reminding us that his considerable gifts have been squandered on far too many mediocre action scripts. He’s great with Thames and hilarious with the very funny Frost as the mentor/coach, whose big heart almost makes up for the missing limbs. Also achingly amusing are the terrific young actors who are his “pupils”. Howell is a swaggering, obnoxious hoot, while Dennison is an endearing charmer as the sweet, zaftig motor-mouth vault of dragon trivia. And anyone with siblings can relate to the constant rivalry and insults (tinged with a tiny bit of affection) of the twins, played with furious zest by James and Trevaldwyn.

Guiding this exceptional cast is the co-director of the original film, Dean Delbois, in his live-action narrative feature debut (he made the doc feature TEN in 2022), and he does a superb job of revisiting his earlier triumph. As many lovers of that will attest, he doesn’t veer far from the script adaptation of Cressida Cowell’s beloved book that he co-wrote with co-director Chris Sanders and Will Davies, which some may find fault with, although fans of the other two live-action redos from 2025 have thrown fits over omitted and added characters and subplots. However this coming of age tale is so strong, that it’s not needed since enough time has passed (15 years) to make this fresh for the children who saw the orignal in theatres (some of you may recall that in those prehistoric “pre-home video” days, Disney would send his animated classics out of the vault and back on to big screens at seven-year-intervals). Well, Deblois did add an excellent subplot about Snotlout’s strained relationship with his blasé pop Spitelout, played with a disinterested scowl by Peter Serafinowicz. And yes, the dragons are still CGI creations, though they have more detailed textures, especially Toothless, and have a more realistic tone resembling the recent Godzilla reboots rather than the bulging eyes and rubbery limbs similar to Mad Magazine’s series of “Horrifying Cliches” drawn by the great Paul Coker, Jr. Another big plus is the use of several practical sets (with some CGI “tweaks”, no doubt) in the village along with the imaginative costuming (imagine the fur and horn budget). Happily, John Powell also returns with thrilling variations on his familiar themes. Yes, it’s like picking up a treasured childhood tome off of the bookshelf that’s given a fresh spin by the talented cast of young actors paired with an invigorated vet. Oh, if all the remakes and “re-workings” were as entrancing and endearing as HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON…

DEN OF THIEVES 2: PANTERA – Review

Just ten days into the new year and it appears that the studios are trying to create a new action thriller franchise. Technically it really began in 2018 with a flick that attempted to combine a heist caper plot with a police procedural led by a detective that’s not exactly squeaky clean. It did modest business (some might say barely a box office “ripple”), so this sequel is more than unexpected (“outta’ nowhere” is more like it). But since the big Summer blockbuster season feels light years away, especially with the weather’s artic plunge, those fans of tough guys with big guns driving fast cars need an adrenaline “fix”. And if they “check their brains” at the concession counter, then they may get the needed “rush” from DEN OF THIEVES 2: PANTERA.

Whoa, in the opening moments, we’re thrust right into a big “heist” involving computer hacking, a phony flight attendant, pilfered jewels, and a hijacked armored vehicle. Hey, it sounds similar to that big crime seven years ago. Well, that was in the US rather than a busy foreign international airport, though there is one familiar face. Barking commands in French is that criminal mastermind Donnie Wilson (Oshea Jackson, Jr.). Luckily, his old nemesis back in the States gets wind of it through his stripper snitch Holly (Meadow Williams). LA County Sheriff’s Department Detective Nick “Big Nike” O’Brien (Gerard Butler) needs a new case to occupy his time having just endured a really nasty divorce. After pulling a few strings with the feds, Nick’s on his way across the pond to a quaint, quiet Marseilles, which has an elite, and very protected jewelry exchange district. This is where Donnie and his crew have settled in. He uses gems from that airport heist to open a space in one of the office buildings, aided by the proper “intro” from the gang’s “femme fatale” Jovanna (Evin Ahmad). It seems those heist jewels were bait in order to break into the big vault in that exclusive district. Ah, but Donnie’s plans shift with the unexpected arrival of Nick. Hold up, this cop wants “in” on the score. Has he really gone rogue, or is Nick truly under deep, deep “cover”? Donnie’s got to take a chance, otherwise his crew will turn on him (some already are planning that). But Nick is in contact with the local cops, who tell him that the armored heist has made them a target of the feared Panther mafia, who want to retrieve a revered family stone that was part of the theft. Will these new “players” botch the job, or will Nick work with Donnie and disavow his cop career and turn his back on the “badge”?

Butler easily shifts back into swaggering “bro” mode as “big Nick”, though this new plot throws a few curves his way. Mainly in his new ‘stomping grounds” far away from “La La” Land. This allows Butler to display his comedic chops as the burly, coarse cop being the loud, violent “fish out of water” in the cultured climes of Marseilles. And he’s got to “clean up his act” considerably and adjust his “fashion sense” in order to glide in and out of the “diamond fortress”. To do so, he must follow the lead of Donnie, played with smooth and silky confidence by the charismatic Jackson, who’s quite believable as the crew’s “point man”. Despite their past conflicts, Donnie and Nick become a slick team shifting into a duo capable of this complex game of deception and duplicity. Complimenting them is the sultry Ahmad whose fashion-model looks and poise distract. allowing her to use her keen intellect in easily accessing and evading the tight (much like her attire) security measures in place.

Also returning for this follow-up is writer/director Christian Gudegast, who attempts to tweak the story structure of the original with the exotic European locales. and the ambiguity of Nick’s motivations as we wonder if he has embraced the “outlaw’ life. Unfortunately, the obstacle more daunting than the hallway camera and the countless guards scanning the multiple monitors is the languid pacing that makes its 144 runtime (c’mon, really) feel like a round trip to France…in coach. The flick has far too many scenes of the guys trying to out “macho” each other at various bars and bistros, including a disco packed to the gills with supermodels in tight shiny gowns (of course, a big brawl occurs). Plus there are endless “prep” bits (the crew clashes over the music choices) that wear us down before the big “break-in”, which includes every possible “crime caper” cliche. It feels like a retread of heist ” challenges” done with more style and suspense in the OCEANS and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE franchises (they must climb up a long metal hook between buildings, so we’re waiting for the eventual “slip”). And as with most action flicks, we get multiple endings to allow for double and “triple crosses”. All this is in service to a sequel that nobody was demanding other than investors of the forgettable 2018 original. Hopefully, all of this tiresome “mach-man” preening will be shelved after the chaotic cinema crimes of DEN OF THIEVES 2: PANTERA.

Once again the CGI is brilliant and Toothless looks great!

On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart.

Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.

With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.

KANDAHAR (2023) – Review

So, where does it say that only the big studio blockbusters can rattle the multiplex over the first big holiday weekend of the Summer cinema season? Certainly, there’s a bit of room away from the Furious fellas’ and the MCU. That’s what this flick is hoping for as Gerard Butler continues his quest to be the lower-tier action star, much like the Cannon crew did in the “go-go” 1980s (after Arnold and Sly there was Chuck and Claude). For this thiller-diller we travel to a real “hot spot” (in more ways than one) for a desert tale of undercover capers and narrow escapes. You see, everyone’s after Mr. B, so he’s got to somehow make it outta’ there via KANDAHAR. Heads up for lotsa’ sand and sweat!

It all does begin in the desert of Iran as a foreign tech crew is upgrading the area to high-speed internet. In the “hole”, exposing the wires is Tom Harris (Butler). His escorts are growing impatient as he tinkers, snips, and installs a special battery-sized device. Yes, he and his partner are “black ops” out to destroy Iran’s hidden, not-so-secret nuclear reactor. Soon the pair are back in town, preparing to leave. Meanwhile, a plucky news network reporter (Nina Toussaint-White) gets a call from her unknown “source” that US/British forces are there to wreck the new facility. Naturally, her cell phone is hacked by Iranian intelligence. Meanwhile, an agent deep, deep undercover (Travel Fimmel), picks up a translator (Navid Negahban) from the airport and sends him to Tom. But before they can connect, the faces of Tom and his cohort are splattered all over the local media. A Pakistan “freelancer”, Kahil (Ali Fazal) meets with some operatives. It seems that the Iranians want to capture Tom alive for a big public display. But not if Kahil grabs him first in order to auction him to the highest bidder (perhaps Isis). Tom and the translator meet just as his team overseas tells him that they’re “cutting him loose”. But wait, there’s a British transport touching down very briefly in a secret airfield about 400 miles away. The trouble is, the translator’s no soldier. Nonetheless, the two have to dodge multiple enemies and get on that plane or else it’s a worldwide broadcast execution.

Butler certainly has his “man of action” persona down pat (has it been 17 years since 300), and helps the story run smoothly from one stunt set piece to the next. There’s also a brief subplot about his marriage crumbling, which gives him an extra interest in surviving, so he can get to his daughter’s graduation(at several points he gazes at the greeting card he bought at the airport). It’s a plus that he’s playing a former MI-6 agent which allows his natural accent to flow forward. Negahban conveys a sense of everyman panic as Tom thrusts him into deadly danger (for which he’s ill-prepared). He too is a family guy, though he’s haunted by the demise of his son by radical forces. Some much-needed energy is injected into the standard thriller conventions by the off-kilter performance of Fazal, the motorcycle-riding mastermind who appears to embrace the new religious fanatics while enjoying the “infidel’s culture”, as he swipes through dating apps on his cell phone…while vaping. Fimmel has thoroughly embraced the faith in his adopted land, which makes him the “wild card”, as most of his allies aren’t sure if he’s 100% “with the program”.

The big chases and explosions are directed by frequent Butler collaborator Ric Roman Waugh, who certainly has his hands full here what with the different hunters tracking down Tom. There’s a nice claustrophobic feel to a chase during a dusty village’s traffic jam. Plus a battle in a pitch-black canyon adds lots of tension as we view this alien-like landscape through Tom’s night-vision goggles. But Waugh is often tripped by the underdeveloped subplots in the script. For a time we follow the double life of an Iranian officer, perhaps to paint him as a sympathetic family man, but nothing comes of it, ditto for the translator’s search for his sister. As the story chugs along, it feels like a less compelling, but louder variation of the superior desert war film from a month or so ago, GUY RITCHIE’S THE COVENANT. It’s a tough act to follow, but the ridiculous final battle with cartoon-like explosions and a charge right out of a late-show Western do this story no favors. The locations in Saudi Arabia give it an authentic look and feel, but it’s not enough to redeem this carnage-filled trek to KANDAHAR.
