Allie F I really loved the first movie - there were so many memorable parts! It felt like this one took a bit to warm up to things, and the sense of awe and cuteness didn't quite hit me as much as in the first movie. But still lovable and entertaining! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/22 Full Review Robert R God, I was so close to giving this a similar rating as the first one, but there's just something about the simplicity of that 2010 effort that I think is missing this time around. There's appropriate development here and there (especially with that of Hiccup's continued coming-of-age), but I also feel like a bit too much of a reliance on the retcon for my tastes. The animation and emotionality this time around, however, could not be any better. I feel like with animated movies that we consider being for "both kids and adults," all eyes either drift toward Disney or Disney by way of Pixar, but, man, these movies push boundaries with regard to what it wants its audience to process and I respect the hell out of the decisions made here. Also, on that note, shoutout to Djimon Hounsou for delivering a legitimately mature and menacing performance. . .in this kids movie lol. Guy did not need to go as hard as he did, but he really went there and, again, I respect it. Now, if these movies could stop making me weepy, that'd be great. It's all that "boy and his dog" energy, man. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Jonathan K I don’t think this franchise is for me. Neither the first one nor this sequel really landed -- just not my thing. Maybe it's the voice acting. Honestly, if you told me the main character was voiced by Christian Slater with some marbles in his mouth, I’d believe you. The voices don't match the characters' appearances and it ends up being a thoroughly unnatural distraction. The animation, to be fair, is very good. Probably looked exceptional ten years ago when it came out, and the lighting in particular is impressive. But the world itself just doesn’t click with me. And the humor... well, there pretty much isn’t any. It’s an adventure animation that forgot to bring along the comedic relief character. And the soundtrack with the Jonsi vibe feels way too peppy and hyper-positive. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Audience Member This was film was really good I was pretty sad when this movie had some sad scenes but I really enjoyed it I had a fun time I kinda wish that the pasting was not that fast in the final battle but I thought it was really good yeah I think 8/10 feels right for this one go watch it Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Paul S This was absolutely amazing! I watched the first one as a kid, and I just watched this one and it feels like it came full circle for me. I loved every minute of it. The visuals were amazing, the dragons looked awesome, and the story was really compelling. I definitely recommend seeing this! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review SkyRo P "How to Train Your Dragon 2" is just as remarkable as its predecessor. It's truly delightful to reconnect with these characters and develop an even deeper affection for them, showcasing a charm that feels distinct from typical Disney fare. While I hold Disney characters in high regard, it's refreshing to enjoy the unique personalities of Hiccup and Toothless. This sequel takes us on thrilling adventures while imparting valuable lessons about compassion and love for others. Watching this film is a captivating experience, brimming with positivity and heartfelt moments. It's bittersweet to witness the conclusion of the father's journey, but he remains a phenomenal dad who cared deeply for his son. Seeing the mother re-enter the story adds another layer of depth, highlighting her remarkable character. Witnessing the growth of these characters and the intricacies of the plot was truly one of the most rewarding experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend this series; both the first and second films are absolutely outstanding! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
