    How to Train Your Dragon 2

    Reviewed by

    The first How to Train Your Dragon was an amazing movie, (one which I gave a 9/10) and while How to Train Your Dragon 2 was not quite as good as the original, there were definitely a few improvements upon the first film. The animation in this film may be the best I have ever seen, especially during the flight scenes. The many different types of dragons present a wide variety of colourful shots and imaginative visuals. The cinematography is also excellent, and every shot is crafted to give you the sense that you are really sitting on the back of a dragon. The story is also bold, going in directions that were completely unexpected, and taking some twists that gave it a sense of unpredictability adding to the excitement and anticipation of the entire film. However, How to Train Your Dragon 2 tries to tell such an epic story in a short run-time and some key elements that the movie should have addressed are either skimmed over or skipped entirely. For example one key character is underdeveloped and underused. The movie tried to do so much that it left some things in the dust. The mistakes this movie made, however, were completely overshadowed by everything it did right: funny dialogue, a beautiful score, dramatic and emotional moments, and spectacular animation. The appeal of this movie crosses multiple generations. Kids will love it, adults will love it, and teens who were kids when the first movie was released will love it. The film tells a complete story, while also leaving the premise open for more stories that are waiting to be told.
