I agree that the humour was sometimes a bit... odd and detracted from the film but I actually enjoyed the "manly advice" bits. It might've been nice if the tone was a little more consistent though. Some parts feel like two different movies being forced to work together, e.g. the massive difference between Hiccup and most of the others during the opening raid.
I saw the film in 3D. I don't remember it standing out much but I guess that's a good thing. The focus should be on the stories, not the technical aspects. When I did watch a clip on Youtube, it did seem less exciting but that could be the size of the screen as well.
Darn spoilers... I wanna talk about the ending... I will just say that I did not expect them to go through with the ending and I think it was a very mature decision that not many films would actually take. That said, I felt they kind of lowered the impact with the final scene and I would've rather seen that cut or replace. (I won't say with what because... spoilers.)
I really enjoyed it and found it quite emotional. I'm not sure how much of that was left over from HTTYD2, which had a real emotional blow. I also loved the credit flashbacks.
I do want to share this promo clip which I found after the movie and is just adorable!
