This movie was absolutely outstanding!!!!
I have already seen this movie twice, once on opening night and again the following morning with my girlfriend before work. If you have not read my review of the first one to understand my enthusiasm then probably should.
This ended up being one those rare films that surpasses the original. The character development that you see here from the first one was great, the humor that worked so good in the first one continued to carry over to this one but the best part about this movie....NOTHING was dumbed down for the kids. Adults can walk into this movie and not worry about just getting a good kids movie. How to train your dragon 2 is just overall an amazing movie. The aerial shots in this movie looks amazing, the characters feel almost organic both in appearance and even on the emotional level. I won't lie to you...I actually teared up 3-4 times watching this. As said, this i not just a great a kids film its just a great movie in general, the emotional moments are emotional, the fun and funny moments are fun/funny for everyone, the characters are more layered and of course grown up than the previous film. The CG in this one compared to the first is breathtaking. a lot of scenery shots actually looked real the CG was that crisp and clean.
Now lets talk plot a little without giving much away. The story takes place 5 years after the first one, all the teens are now in their early 20s late teens, and Berk, where they live, has stopped fighting the dragons and now instead keeps them as pets and friends. Hiccup has become his villages hero. Everything seems to be great until they hear about someone who is building a dragon army and sweeping across the known world. Hiccup and Toothless head out to stop him. If you want to know more I suggest you find time to head to a theater near you to see this.
I give How to train your dragon 2....9 Fedoras out of 10!!!
Can't wait for a third one!!! Please let there be a third one!!
