REVIEW: ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ serves up life lessons and eye-popping action

There are lessons to be learned in “How to Train Your Dragon,” which tells the story of a weak and skinny teenage Viking who defies his dragon hunter father to, as the title spells out, domesticate a fire-breathing mythological beast. Lessons about generational discord, about demonizing the other – here, one of a different species, not race, religion or political party – and about how, when training, it is the teacher who learns as much as, if not more than, the student.
