5. The Sea Beast/15

Looks like I would have brought this one up a bit.

So when I first learned of this movie I thought... "Oh! It's gonna be like How to Train Your Dragon but with sea monsters. And it was almost exactly that. But even a diet version of HTTYD was significantly better than quite a bit of the uninspired cash grabs based off existing IPs and lackluster and/or poorly executed original ideas. I liked Masie's character development, but at times it feels like it's happening way too fast. Like she went from respecting her parents as heros to thinking the entire system was corrupt for holding them to the standard of heros over the course of like five minutes? The hell was up with that? The precocious wise-beyond-their-years kid trope can be good if done well, but I think the writers must have forgotten how to do that well here. Still this was a fairly enjoyable film, but really it just reminded me that I should rewatch the superior version.
