Second 'How to Train Your Dragon' trailer tanks

Back in November, we got a first look at DreamWorks Animation's upcoming 3D family adventure "How to Train Your Dragon," and clearly I remember the trailer was pretty boring and visually uninteresting.
A second preview has just hit the Web, and guess what? It is as equally disappointing as its predecessor. It's rather similar than the first trailer, and it still failed to win me over. Unfortunate, but true.
Based on the book by Cressida Cowell, this animated action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t exactly fit in with his tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers.
Hiccup’s world, however, is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges him and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view...
What sounds like a cool story looks like a snooze party in my book. The animation looks so-so, and the voice cast sounds rather lame as well. In short, this one really doesn't have any spark about it.

was actually quite worthwhile, a nice movie
not 'the' best animation but definitely a worthwhile film
to see with the kids.
trailer was very average, but kids insisted on seeing it.
i can tell you the film is alot better than the trailer.
I rather enjoyed the film, though I have to agree.. the trailer was boring. A good film that I would happily watch over and over again! I may not be a film snob, but I'm not easy to please either! Wasn't what I expected at all..
awesome movie will watch it over and over
I just finished seeing How to Train Your Dragon last night and it was one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen.... It's definitely on my favorite movie list.... i was also skeptical at first to because the trailer didn't do it justice. but go see it....it's awesome.
This movie is amazing. i've seen it like 10 times! i dont care that the trailer was only ok. but you should totally see the movie, again its auhmazing!!!
This movie is awesome ! Nice story ever
Don't judge a movie strictly on its trailer....you'll miss a lot of good ones that way. This was a terrific movie! It's got a good message and exciting story line with excellent voice talent. Craig Ferguson is brilliant. My only issue is why Hiccup and Astrid have American accents....
