A pretty weak sequel. Came out of the theatre feeling empty. It's below average.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Totalmente a la altura de la original, incluso superandola en algunos aspectos. La historia se volvio mucho mas seria, con menos humor, cosa que puede que a algunos no les guste, pero en lo personal fue para mejor. Los dragones siguen transmitiendo mucha personalidad, la animacion es excelente y la historia es bastante emocional. Lo que si se podria criticar que creo que es un hueco argumental es que segun esta pelicula todos los dragones alfa pueden controlar a otros dragones. Si eso es cierto, entonces que me dicen del antagonista principal de la primer película?
Muy recomendada.… Expand

Si bien es cierto que el despliegue técnico aumenta con creces en esta secuela, solventando los pequeños recortes que pude apreciar en la primera entrega (especialmente el pelo) la sensación de aventura desciende en mayor medida para dar pasoSi bien es cierto que el despliegue técnico aumenta con creces en esta secuela, solventando los pequeños recortes que pude apreciar en la primera entrega (especialmente el pelo) la sensación de aventura desciende en mayor medida para dar paso a un mayor profundo desarrollo de la figura del dragón en el universo de la propia película y el viaje que recorre Hipo para convertirse en el vikingo que su padre siempre ha esperado de él.

Cómo Entrenar A Tu Dragón 2 es una buena secuela, especialmente para aquellos niños que vieron su predecesora con unos 10-12 años en su estreno (2010). Esta segunda parte hará que aquellos muchachos que en su día conocieron a Hipo, sean hoy capaces de madurar con él (un poco como pasó con el fenómeno Toy Story y Andy).

Quizás al tener un ritmo más pausado y contemplativo, los más pequeños puedan aborrecerla en ciertos tramos, pero se agradece que se tome sus pausas y no sea continuamente un cóctel de sabores y emociones sin parar durante todo el metraje.

Recomendada, especialmente habiendo visto la primera parte, que establece muchas cosas que debes dar por hecho en esta segunda entrega.… Expand

MovieReviewer45Jun 15, 2018
This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How To Train Your Dragon 2 engages in inventive storytelling, amazing film score - similar to its groundbreaking predecessor, and state-of-the-art animated visuals. HTTYD 2 is a worthy and quite a rare sequel that soars as high as the original's heightened quality.

The most critical part of this movie that distinguishes it greatly in terms of improvement of film quality from HTTYD 1 is its surprisingly emotional elements. Viewers will experience here dramatic and rather heartfelt moments between Hiccup with his dad and his dragon, Toothless. The bonds that they exhibit between each other is explored in here. The trust and friendship between Hiccup and Toothless is endearing and heartwarming. There are scenes here that make me cry a little bit because of grief and lost. How To Train Your Dragon 2 flies very high in providing it's viewers a satisfying emotional moments that is rarely to be seen in any previous Dreamwork's creations.

The improvement of the designs for the main characters are impressive especially Hiccup. The creators and designers have done a great job in changing the image looks of Hiccup and the other characters as well. This will give viewers the fact that time has really passed between the release of HTTYD1 and it's sequel #2. The film score is great. Just like the film score of HTTYD 1, the soundtrack of HTTYD 2 played on some action sequences and emotional moments really puts that special scene in a new level which provides it's viewers contentment and satisfaction while watching it in awe and sorrow.

The storytelling does it's perfect job in including the mending of family ties and relationships by reuniting Hiccup's family once again which creates an emotional atmosphere between Hiccup and his parents throughout the movie. The movie does not speak solely on the dragon's themselves but also human/family connection and friendship is present here. Overall, HTTYD 2 is an enjoyable and a surprising complex emotional movie. Dreamworks has once again succeeded in providing a worthy sequel that is almost as great as the original. The reason why I gave it 9/10 is because some part of the storytelling content misses something sentimental that I was craving for such as the relationship between Hiccup and his mother, and the mother's backstory content. Hiccup's mother, Valka, lacks adequate emotional entanglement with Hiccup and his father which feels like that her characterization lacks emotional resonance and a proper introduction as an important character/figure in Hiccup's life as well in the father's life.

Nevertheless, HTTYD 2 is a great sequel to a great predecessor. Recommended.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed this even more than the first one, and damn that first one was great. Now Hiccups world became larger then ever, there is a lot of explored land and he meets his 'dead' mother after 20 years.
The battle was larger then ever with 2 gigantic dragons fighting against each other. Who knew there was an even bigger dragon than the big dragon in the first one. It's nice to see how the people of Berk evolved with dragons in their life. The dragons are there help the citizens and to sport with. They even got a whole new activity based around dragons and sheep.
This movie is the definition of a good animation movie. Dreamworks is realy stepping up.… Expand

It has great animation, some gorgeous sequences of flying, very creative designs, good music, and fun action. It also shares its flaws with its predecessor, characters are cool, but not great, the villain (which is technically a new addition for the series) is bleh and his motivation is never truly clear. The story is ok in general, it's nothing I haven't seen before, but some of the characters are good, and their development from the last movie is fine, and the new additions while nothing grand do their job in being there. So with all that being said, is this better than the first? Yes, but only by a very small margin. As I said, it gives you all the first one brought to the table, with the quality expected, it has mostly the same flaws, but its story is at least a little more interesting, and the characters are a little more developed. So it is the superior movie, and it is fun ride, but if you didn't like the first one or didn't find the idea interesting the first time, this will do nothing to convince you. If you are a fan, this is exactly what you need. Final verdict: 7.6… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a mixed bag for me, on the one hand, its disjointed, annoying and preachy, but on the other its gorgeous, thought provoking and deep. It has many amazing shots and touching pieces of dialog, but it has just as many polar opposite moments. If I had to sum up my thoughts on this movie in one word, it would be disjointed. There are many amazing scenes in this movie, when Hiccups father is reunited with his wife it is truly touching and extremely emotional. But the surprisingly plentiful scenes of the girl twin swooning over arin son arit son of arene son of Arathorn, is strait up stupid, its totally disconnected from the tone of the rest of the movie and was clearly thrown in there because every family movie needs to have comic relief characters. Ugh, actually the friends in general, aside from Astrid, are painfully stupid to watch. They don’t add to the story and they do not need to exist, why are they even such main characters in this movie? You could have had just Hiccup, Astrid, Stoic, and hiccups mom be the main characters, it’s really baffling. And while you’re at it, add Gobber to the list. He is probably the worst offender aside from the twin girl. When he interrupts the scene where Stoic and Hiccups mom are singing to each other just pulls me out of the scene every time. He completely breaks up the scene and it feels completely separate from what we are experiencing. In the first movie he was the kids mentor and he taught them and the audience about dragons, but here… he’s just pointless! Except for creating laughs for the kiddies to giggle at, and that’s not a character. I don’t care about Gobber when him and Stoic are going after Hiccup, I care about STOIC! Gobber is one dimensional and not funny… to me anyways. *sighs* and all of these points can be put towards the twin girl and the rest of the friends as well. Its funny they actually have a resolution for the two guys trying to impress the twin girl, like what the heck? Why should I care about that? Short answer, I don’t. Its jarring compared to what’s actually happening and it just pulls me out of the movie and leaves me wishing they were just eradicated from the whole movie. And if they did that, then it woulda been like 20 minutes shorter!
But other than that, I really do like this movie. While I do have more negative reactions inside when I here this movies name, I do like quite a lot in this movie. Like the animation, its stunning. Anything to do with water, ice, or hair looks photo realistic. Its insane. The character models have gotten a MUCH needed upgrade. Hiccup ACTUALLY looks like a freaking human! But I do think that because they used motion capture, the people do seem a little jerky… particularly in the first act. But its not really a problem, just an observation.
The relationship between Stoic and the mom is really heart wrenching. I do feel like these two are in love I believe their story, and it really is heart breaking when Stoic dies, while I don’t think Hiccups reaction is handled very well at all, I do feel for him and when they send him to… val hallah? Right? Right. The relationship between Hiccup and Toothless is really the anchor for the whole thing. You really get the idea that these two have been best friends for a while and they have gotten really good at working together. However I do have a problem with toothless, and the portrayal of dragons in general.
I think they went a little over board with the intelligence of dragons and they make them borderline human. In the first movie, Toothless was intelligent, he had coherent thoughts and a distinct personality. But he was still an animal, it never felt like he was just as smart as his human companion. In Dragon 2, he is borderline human. And it is really disjointed from the first movie. Now, the designs of the new dragons are far, FAR better than the first one. They look truly awesome. One
last thing about the dragons, is anyone else perplexed at why night furies would evolve to have their back spikes be split in two, without them knowing? Like toothless almost lost hiccup twice because he couldn’t fly alone, but he had this hidden feature that his species hid from themselves? What’s the evolutionary advantage? Why would toothless not know about this super useful ability that is a part of his physiology? It makes zero sense, but that’s really just a nitpick and doesn’t affect the overall story.
Overall, How to Train Your Dragon is a mixture of downright amazing, and painfully silly. It’s deep and emotional, and stupid and silly. I have quite a few problems with it, but all in all it is a great time.
HtTYD2 gets a 6/10, stunningly beautiful, yet painfully silly.… Expand

The movie, like its hero, has more mature themes, and successfully entertains a mass audience without pandering to them.
I would like to point out that it lacks the emotional resonance as the first film, and the finale is too big and too blockbuster actiony but an interesting twist- unlike many movies, the director chose not to make the relationship between the young couple,Hiccup and Astrid, a big plot point. Instead, the touching romance was between a married couple that had been apart for many years.
Verdict: Enjoy!… Expand

The story has some excellent themes and ideas, matures with its audience, and has a strong beating heart that isn’t present in a lot of children’s films. The film feels a bit rushed at times not taking its time with certain aspects like the first film did and the set up is far more engaging than the resolution but its still a good film. For those worried this will be a lame cashgrab, it isn’t they really tried to make this one special and while the lack of development in certain areas prevents this film from being excellent there are many moments in this film where it is great.… Expand

But in the digital world, slight change in theLike I said a couple of year ago during 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2' review, it's a terrible title for a sequel. The host, Neil Patrick also said the same thing during the 2015 Oscars. But in the digital world, slight change in the title makes random in order. I mean on the computer and web world, it won't show in order. Even sometime it might get lost in a vast number of other titles if they dare to chance the first word in the title for a sequel. Other than that they are not stupid as many people think. That's why they highlighted 'Dragon' boldly than the rest of the words.

This part two was not much different to its first. The story continues five years after Hiccup recovers from his injury. He and his pet, Toothless discovers a new land during the survey for the map. So their's adventure begins, but end in a trouble and forces all his people from the town to involve and fight against the rising evil force that tries to conquer them all.

Like I always say, those days are gone, now animated movies are for all ages. This was a very nicely and carefully written screenplay, did not fail to deliver. Very close to the impact the first movie made, but due to simplicity it stayed a couple of steps behind. Developed well with a bit of suspense, thrill and entertainment. Nothing more we could have asked, a perfect follow-up and hoping to explore beyond lot more in the upcoming movies in this series. Four years gap between the movies is a nice idea and fine breathing space for this franchise fan. A movie must be seen by animation fans, especially if you have already seen the first then don't miss it.

Animated? Almost unheard of. Well, HTTYD2 is a fun, fast-paced movie for the kids and although there maybe some plotholes and really cheesy elements, this is ALMOST as good as it gets for kids movies.

When a friend of mine first told me about HTTYD2, I made the mistake of dismissing it, claiming that the animations were silly and I was too mature to sit through it. I was wrong and I definitely was touched a few times even though my pride really fought hard not to show it. There is just so much hope and symbolism that you have to root for the protagonist in this one.

If you haven't seen this and watched the first one, do it. Toothless is just as adorable and the rest of the cast are fun to watch as well.

Word to describe: Sunlight. It makes you feel warm then goes away, then comes back and everyones happy.
Watch it with friends and definitely get some popcorn because you're in for a treat, which is somewhat rare for adults in an animated film. This is annoying guy approved because expect a lot chit-chat when watching.… Expand

It has beautiful CGI, in all the technological aspects it looks really good, but besides that, this movie has as a surprise that is not only for kids, but for adults too because the film touches things mature enough for them. That's something really nice because it's not just a kid's movie, it's actually a movie that the whole family can enjoy.
When Hiccup finally is the hero of his village, another villain comes back to ruin everything for him and he once again will join forces with his dragon to defeat him and save everyone. I know we have seen the story before, but it's a little modified, so it's actually a little original. One of the best aspects of the film is that it's actually not about jokes, it doesn't try to be funny, it just tries to be entertaining and tell a good story and in that is something it succeeds by far. Though, it has some dorky dialogues, some stupid scenes and a lot of the cliches kid's movies have. Anyway, children's must-see.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Five years have passed since the events of the first movie and we're already thrown into how much Berk has changed since then and how much more of a community it feels with the presence of dragons. Things such as Dragon Racing at Berk are fun to watch and it's nice to see all the different ways in which dragons have come to use and how everyone has become adapted to being around them. Hiccup's new inventions were very cool; kudos to the filmmakers for coming up with those very nifty ideas.

One of the things that struck me at first was how beautiful the film looked; the visuals and animation were vastly improved on the first and characters, dragons and scenery looked and felt more alive than ever. There's a lot of attention to detail such as small character quirks and Toothless playing about in the background with other dragons. That being said though, having dragons pop in and out of frame in the background is overdone by just a touch and distracts from important dialogue and events occurring in the foreground.

The introduction of Hiccup's mother in the movie feels a little too rushed; I thought that maybe she would have been brought in in the third film. Furthermore, the little mention of Hiccup's mother earlier on in the film takes away from the surprise of the reveal. However, it's nice to see the two finally get to bond, Hiccup discovering that he takes a lot from his mother, and the reunion with the whole family, when Stoick stumbles across his wife, is very heartwarming indeed. "You're as beautiful as the day I lost you." - this may or may not have brought a tear to my eye...

The moment when the film begins to lose its balance, and almost ejects you from the immersion is when Drago Bludvist, the antagonist, is given very little build-up, despite the mystery surrounding the character at the beginning of the story, and is suddenly seen launching an attack on the dragon home inhabited by Valka, Hiccup's mother. The remainder of the film at this point feels rushed, as if the filmmakers realised they'd forgotten about the threat they'd introduced at the start of the film. I wasn't entirely convinced that Drago was a menacing villain, despite his plans and actions in the film, and the filmmakers hit a bit of a sour note on making the antagonist black, something a little cliché in animated films and just a little bit racist too.

The battle at this point in the movie feels a little too reminiscent of the final battle in the first installment, making it hard not to draw comparisons between the two. Stoick's death was emotional but I expected a greater reaction from everyone else, especially Hiccup and Valka as they'd just lost the chance of being reunited as a family. Having Stoick killed off and Valka there to 'take his place' as a parent for Hiccup just seemed a little too convenient.

I felt a little disappointed with the climax and ending; though it regarded more the connection between Toothless and Hiccup, the final battle at Berk was a little too short for my liking. Other than Hiccup becoming chieftain and taking his father's mantle, the ending just makes it feel like not much had happened, that there wasn't much of a lesson to learn and that there was little difference between the beginning and end events of the film.

Though I don't mind the emphasis put on the relationship between Hiccup, his mother and his father, I feel that other characters weren't developed enough and that some of them were merely there for comic relief. The changes made to Astrid felt a little off; yes, you can tell that it's meant to be the same Astrid from the first film and yes, five years have passed but the character's appearance and characterisation is softened and a little watered down from the strong character that she was in the predecessor. It felt like she was only there to be the established 'love interest' who we don't really get to learn much more about. Eret, the dragon trapper and a new character to the series, was one of the only other characters who had sufficient development and subsequently had believable motivations.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 is a good film and is worth the watch, carrying a lot of heart and is guaranteed to make you smile, laugh and maybe even break into tears but the sequel loses its footing with a story that rushes itself in its second half and fails to develop characters as it did with its predecessor.… Expand

I am glad this movie somehow summarized the first movie in some scenes in the movie without the flashback yada yada yada.

Compared to its original, this sequel feels a bit more matured and I liked how it does not underestimate its target audience and they just go with it in terms with its mature themes. Of course, it still had the humor that both kids and adults will love that will enhance their experience watching this movie.

The movie’s plot was well-written, fast-paced and has no fillers at all which made this movie entertaining to watch. The character development is great in this movie especially on Hiccup and Toothless. After all, they’re the stars of the movie.

The animation style in this movie is great to watch as you can even tell by its smallest details that the people who worked on this movie made sure that the animation in this movie will keep your eyes on the screen.

Overall, this sequel to the How To Train Your Dragon franchise will entertain everyone, both fans of the franchise as well as the general audience with its mature themes, entertaining plot and great character development.… Expand

There's enough humor, action, and emotion to ensure everyone is entertained. It does loose some of the original's magic, but it expands upon the universe in interesting ways.

The attention to detail here is incredible, and I'm not just talking about the phenomenal animation. The world truly feels alive. While we watch our characters progress through the plot it's amazing to see the things that go on around them. In the background you can see dragons interacting one another in a life-like way or people just going about their day. It shows that there's a world out there where things and people are living on their own, not just elements of the plot. It's something amazing to watch.

As far as the story itself goes it is very well-written. Real character growth takes place and emotion is found throughout, although the characters in the film seem oblivious to this. When something devastating happens they only stay sad for a little bit before moving back on to the optimism and humor. It kind of sucked me out of the experience as I was still reeling from what just happened. You think they would have just taken a little bit more time to mourn.

The conflict at hand is very well done. A great villain sets things in motion, however the battles against him seem to lack a sense of urgency. Key powerful and emotional moments pop up in these battles, but they are gone in an instant.

It seems odd to criticize a kid-oriented family movie for lacking some emotional depth. However it's just not hard to notice it's missing. Despite that though the film hardly suffers from it at all. It's still an excellent adventure and one that is sure to please. It just didn't hit every note in the same near-flawless ways the first one did. My total score for the movie is a 7.8/10.… Expand

But to be fair, their are more than enough plot twists and character development to overlook this.

Not to forget, the visuals are still brilliant, similar to the first movie, just a bit more polished out.

I mean that both figuratively and literally. We often are caught up in epic fantasy so long as it resembles The Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, but hope is kindle when a movie like this comes out. It is difficult to have a sequel that was an improvement in pretty much every way from the first but they figured out how to do it. Each character was given attention and care to their development and delivery to the plot and dialogue. The world of dragons and their personalities was widely expanded as well as their relationship with humans. With such powerful creatures susceptible to human rule, it was only a matter of time before a big bad guy came along to pit dragons on each other along with the rest of the known world. Hiccup and his friends have to prove themselves against impossible odds and the fury of open war. But they find help in unexpected places. This movie kept it thrilling and adventurous but it did not slack on the emotion. You laugh, gasp, and even cry when you see this while not missing out on the fun of it all. It is hard enough to make a movie this well put together. I felt like there was a pretty quick pace, not really leaving any time for collection, but given that this movie is intended for younger viewers, it was the better move to maintain constant attention throughout with big moving scenes, one after the other. Well done. Animated movies often stay on their own plain but, I think this time they broke through and gave some of the good movies this year a run for their money, period. Worth a watch.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very good film, takes a different approach from the original but continues the story of Hiccup and Toothless. I just want to say this movie is FULL of FEELS. Tense and dramatic moments that will make you saddened of obstacles that come between relationships, you may shed a tear or more, I know I did. Around the beginning the movie builds up, but ends with dramatic and large-scaled events that affect everyone, not just the main characters. I give this movie a 9/10 . Flawless animation that are fluid and charming.… Expand

Las emociones no son tan reales como en la anterior película. La animación es muy buena igual que como la anterior pero eso es lo único que mejoro ligeramente de la anterior. Ademas hay cosas que no entiendo como el control mental del jefe dragón, todos los reyes dragón tienen eso?

Really enjoyable, the character designs of the Dragons are spectacular, and much like the first film the flying sequences are great and work great in 3-D. The story has a nice touch to it and works fine. Overall good.

What makes HTTYD2 more aimed for the YA framework is that it possesses mature tone and dramatic depth about family relationships and dragons that we don't see in the first film. Hiccup in the second film is more conscious than ever as he finds his mother; in here we see that the film is actually growing from a childish film to a mature yet darkly dramatized film. The stunning visuals have also a big contribution in making this movie a big hit for DreamWorks' second movie for the year. HTTYD2 is an eye-catching movie experience for the young and old.

Once the competition is over we are now soaring through the sky with Toothless and Hiccup. Greeted with one of the best songs in the film. People talk about this movie not having heart, but it's just as big maybe even bigger than the first film. It will make you laugh and maybe even cry. It had it's joyful moments and some sad moments too, but throughout it always was perfectly balanced. It was darker than than the first movie, but that's okay. I love that it tread on the dark side sometimes. Life has it's darker moments and that made this movie feel so real, even with dragons flying around. Toothless always brought a smile to your face, even during his vicious times. Without a cute dragon like Toothless the film might be too dark for younger kids, but since he is there he helps keep the film balanced perfectly. I say go see it as soon as you can if you even remotely like animated films. Bring your kids if you have any because they certainly won't be bored, and I don't think you will be either.… Expand

They are living peacefully withHiccup, the main character of the movie, lives in a small viking town called Berk. Thanks to his studies and constant analysis of dragons, people of Berk now a lot more about dragons and understand them better. They are living peacefully with tamed dragons until a group of dragon hunters arrive from a neighboring place. From then the story gets twisted and we unpredicted events unfold.

Hiccup constantly pushes to solve the problems with conversation and dialog unlike most vikings in his town who are ready to fight and use violence. He relentlessly engages with the “enemies” and keeps a discourse with them. He constantly studies them and tries to understand them.

There are two strong themes in the movie that made me love it. The first theme is the relation between humans and animals which symbolically represents the relation between any two group of adversaries: two races, two ethnicities, followers of two religions, or even two nations. Through the movie, when a group studies and understands the other group, animosities subside, mutual respect flourishes, and the common cores of both groups bind them together. In the call for understanding other groups, this movie implicitly asks us to throw away all the preconceptions and dogma and look at them, judge them, and treat them fairly and justly.

The second strong theme in the movie is Hiccup's constant search for his identity. He is confused about who he really is and why he is different from all other vikings. But he also ceaselessly searches and seek what he wants to do with his life. He is fearless when he faces challenges and new experiences.

How to train your dragon 2, is a phenomenal movie, the kind that you have wait years for to come and the kind that will fill you with joy whenever you remember. It is extremely fun to watch with an amazing story and unbelievable cinematography. It is a kids movie for adults. After watching this movie, all you want to do is flying and pondering on the questions that it touches.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simply put, HTTYD 2 was a very surprising movie that blew my expectations away: the first movie was already very well done, so I had high hopes for it to be good. And not only it did not disappoint...but I can almost say that this was the best sequel I've ever seen, since probably Kung Fu Panda 2.

What works in this movie is probably how the story is actually set 5 years in the future: our characters have grown up and that's already a very nice touch to the story, especially since they are also different in their behaviours, especially Hiccup being a very more reliable character and unlike the first movie, where he was more of a "passive" character, he's now always in the battle and you do feel such high respect on seeing his sense of exploration and of knowledge. The music is fantastic, the story is interesting and follows extremely well the first movie almost naturally, and all the characters are so likeable that it's hard to pick a favourite one (SPOILER: heck, my sister cried when Stoick died nearly the end of the movie: I was not expecting that to happen and all in the theatre actually cried when that happened: It's rare when a movie makes everyone cry like that)) and It's just a pleasent movie to watch and watch again.

However if I have to pick a BIG flaw of the movie, that would definitely be the Villain.

I have absolutely no idea who the bad guy was: we see a scene in the past where he tried to submit the village chiefs, and then we move in the future (the movie's present) where he's just bad and controls dragons. That's. It.
Sure, we know -a- reason why he hates dragons, but he has absolutely no character growth and we basically get nothing out of him: he came as he went, and when he dies it's as if nothing happened. That was a huge flaw because it had everything except a well made villain (On this regard, I heard that in the beginning that the main villain was going to be Hiccup's mother, and as much as that idea is a lot more darker than the movie really is, I think it would have worked MUCH better than putting in a random bad guy with basically no character development).

Aside that big flaw, nothing else really ruins it: I honestly didn't expect this movie to be as good as the original, but I'm almost sure that it's even better! Opinions may vary, but I'm definitely gonna watch this movie again, once it comes out in dvd.

Alongside Kung Fu Panda 2!… Expand

The movies itself is greatly scripted with some twists and drama you wouldn't expect in a 'kids' movie, but it was one of the reasons why I liked it so much, and it is very well done in terms of animation and modelling (once again surpassing standards and my own expectations). I won't go on about characters and story because you probably already know them and I could spoil something.

The gaping tundra of Winter is beyond us, and for that I say we are officially in the midst of the summer movie going season. Sequels, sequels, and more sequels are filling the gaps every weekend, 16 to be exact.
Sooner or later, goodwill from post franchises are going to run out. This is not the case with the returning favorites of the beloved "How To Train Your Dragon". "Dragon" was a film nobody, not even myself, suspected of being the next best thing..but it was. A little film from Dreamworks Animation, that distinctly gave Pixar a run for their money. The animation was gorgeous, the story even more so. A voice cast that included Gerard Butler, Jay Baruchel, Craig Ferguson and Jonah Hill. One could perhaps argue that something is "missing" from this sequel, I would argue not.

"How To Train Your Dragon 2" stands on its own, not as a sequel, but as an endearing story of hope, forgiveness, and courage. Our favorite characters are back in full swing. Taking place five years after the events in the first film. Hiccup (Baruchel) and his cohorts are all young adults now, serving as dragon riders in Berk. Who now are living peacefully among the towns people. The curiosity of Hiccup has grown immensely, and the world he thought he knew has opened up wider than he could ever imagine. Dealing with the added stress of being appointed his righteous father, Stoick (Gerard Butler) successor, and his tough as nails girlfriend Astrid (America Ferrera). Hiccup's curiosity eventually gets him caught by a notorious dragon warrior, which eventually turns out to be his long lost mother Valka (Cate Blanchett). Hiccup then discovers the plans of an imminent attack by the ruthless Drago Bludvist, a dragon hunter who will stop at nothing until his army is complete.

Furthermore, the main success here lies within the brilliant character development. I recently saw in an article by Entertainment Weekly in which they compared the characters, I saw a sluggish standing, dependent Hiccup being compared to a 20 year old, one legged and tough Hiccup, and to be honest I couldn't be more happier. As with time, it evidently changes everyone. While sure Hiccup and his friends are "growing facial hair", riding on the backs of dragons like it's nothing. Hiccup has become more than a sensational character to root for, rather a Luke Skywalker for this younger generation. We also can't have this film if not for the loveable mascot and poster child; Toothless. The silly, charming and fun Night Fury dragon, that stole our hearts back in 2008.

Equally, the story is just as good, if not better, than the original. The first one had the added pressure of society accepting dragons. Now they have but, face a greater threat than before. In the form of Drago Bludvist, who's rip-roaring voice is brought to spectacular life by Djimon Hounsou. For a childrens film; his antics are a bit darker than most villains you would see. Younger children may be frightened by his overall appearance. However, from my standpoint, I felt he was a worthy adversary for our crew of heroes. A Darth Vader to Hiccup's Skywalker. I also enjoyed the new character Erin (voiced by Game Of Thrones own Kit Harrington).

Of course, some will likely attest that the film's characters are a bit too harsh, or deafening. Some storybook concepts will likely have to be explained to some youngsters. There is an emotional integrity to be upheld here, and director Dean DeBois keeps that formula that made it's predecessor all the more credible. Including characters we care more about, then we have had before. I found little squabbles here and there of certain action set pieces that perhaps felt out of place. If speaking figuratively it never once took away from my fulfillment and satisfaction.

Most sequels tend to overdo it, others just wreck it's potential franchise. The old saying as it goes "if it ain't broken, don't fix it". "How To Train Your Dragon 2" is an emotionally charged, and high flying adventure. The animation is breathtaking, and better than it has every been. I find it hard looking at this film as a sequel, partially because it's so well done that it stands on its own. Which in any sequel is rare. I can only imagine what the future has in store for our lovable band of characters. I do know one thing, "How To Train Your Dragon 2" falls in that 5 percent of sequels that actually builds on their predecessor.

‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ is the sequel to ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ which follows the Vikings of Berk, specifically Hiccup and the Nightfury. Within this sequel dangers comes in form of a human rather than a dragon.

I absolutely‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ is the sequel to ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ which follows the Vikings of Berk, specifically Hiccup and the Nightfury. Within this sequel dangers comes in form of a human rather than a dragon.

I absolutely enjoyed this film since it managed to enthral and entertain, but provide a heart-warming tale and some remarkable touching moments that get to the audience. The sets and the scenes are mesmerising allowing for some breath-taking backgrounds.

The characterisation of Hiccup is much more thoroughly explored which I find is the best part of this film. In the sequel we see Hiccup as a young adult, more wise and courageous, compared to the slightly accidental young teen he was within the original. This new young adult hiccup allows the story to diverge into extremely touching situations due to the maturity of Hiccup. The other residents of Berk are all delightful to watch from the other matured young adults like Astrid and Fishlegs, to the elders like Gobber and Stoick. The new cast is also a breath of fresh air with one character in particular being the highlight. The dragons from the initial film all retain their characteristics making them all original. The new dragons all have their own unique personalities which fit well within the older, already seen, dragons. The villain is extremely vile by the looks and the actions he partakes in. This causes the audience to instantly hate him and root for the heroes, especially if you’re an animal lover.
I think it could have been improved if they showed a little more of the characteristics of the new species of dragon. Furthermore there is a specific scene that could have been the end of the film setting up for another instalment leaving a cliff-hanger. However they did not do this and did complete the film rather than leaving it at a heart-plucking moment.

In the end ‘How to Train your Dragon 2’ is a step above its predecessor expanding and becoming more engaging. This film is a must see in anyway. Everyone will enjoy ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ since there is everything for the family.… Expand

The plot and the action already gave me more but suddenly it feels almost empty with the soundtrack. And, the *spoiler* proposal-song...that's so bad song. #LOL Frozen did better. Well, still, it's amazing. I enchanted with everything. The jokes and the heart-breaking scenes, truly moved me.
