It has a more emotional touch to it and visually it's just as thrilling if not more. Exploring the up's and down's in the relationship between a boy and a dragon, this is a film that holds nothing back and isn't afraid to explore the unexplored. It's a film that adults are likely to enjoy just as much as children. Although it felt a touch too long, it's undoubtedly one of this years great achievements. Is it overall better than it's predecessor? Probably, time will verify.… Expand

This movie taught me of being a peace keeper. It feels like when I was young and I watched The Lord of The Rings: Fellowship of The Ring. Which means, it's perfect. I couldn't more grateful with this movie. I ADORE DREAMWORKS so much!!! :')This movie taught me of being a peace keeper. It feels like when I was young and I watched The Lord of The Rings: Fellowship of The Ring. Which means, it's perfect. I couldn't more grateful with this movie. I ADORE DREAMWORKS so much!!! :') So many children should be more inspired with the movie. I love the whole animation, so high-definition! And the all background with sun lights, those were amazing. I almost felt it's like AVATAR. But, as I said before, the whole movie was perfect as LOTR. It's just I thought John Powell could gave us more. 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.

Dreamworks, you are my love to you! :'))))… Expand

‘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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was very excited about HTTYD 2 and I couldn't wait about the movie. Before I saw the movie I as a fan of the franchise did watch the TV series episodes. I loved the movie. The 3D was awesome. The characters are made very cool - Hiccup's mother was very interesting person. There was a lot of humor - specially with the twins. The movie had and one very sad moment - Stoick. Anyway I loved that movie, it was better then the first and I can't wait for How to Train Your Dragon 3 and season 3 of the TV series.… Expand

It’s been a while since I watched the first movie so I don’t remember much other than that there was a war between dragons and humans.

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

The story is a bit better this time around there is more tension/drama then the first and more then you'd expect from the series.They bring back all the big voice actors from the first for this one and add a few new ones for comedic effect. All together I really enjoyed this film, I thought it captures the creativity and beauty the creators where trying to create extremely well.

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

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.

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

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.
Real score: 7.8… Expand

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 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

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.

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.

Rating: 9/10 -> 4.5/5 stars… 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

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

This world, these beliefs, this form of storytelling, are the ones I want my future children to inherit. I'm only giving this a 9 because a 10 for animated films would be Lion King/The Animatrix territory. Nah, f*ck it, this gets a 10 because Craig Ferguson is just hilarious reading the grocery list.… Expand

How to Train Your Dragon 2 does not surpass number one, but did not disappoint. The story is again excellent with wonderful animation and a luxurious soundtrack. If you liked the previous episode, this is a clear choice for you. I recommend.

Stellar visuals, great music, really strong emotional beats, a wholesome journey, excellent action... this is the best of the three Dragon movies. (Though it is worth noting that I do still ADORE the other two)
