Hiccup is given the chance to grow in to more of a warrior after teaming up with his long-lost mother (Cate Blanchett) and witnessing the brute power of the nasty, scar-faced Drago Bloodfist (Djimon Hounsou) who has mastered the dark side of dragon training.Īpart from the story and plot, director Dean DeBlois’ HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 is worth seeing simply for its sights. An encounter with dragon trappers leads Hiccup to the realization that not all the world is at peace with dragons, putting him in further conflict his father. He would rather be out exploring the world with Toothless, which he does whenever gets the chance. Hiccup isn’t too keen on the idea of succeeding his father Stoick (Gerard Butler) as the new leader. Everything is idyllic in the village of Burk, where dragons and humans coexist peacefully. Reintroduced are the main characters: our hero Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), now in a serious relationship with Astrid (America Ferrera), his wacky comrades Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), Snotlout (Jonah Hill), and twins Tuffnut and Ruffnut (T.J. HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 soars from the start with an opening dragon-racing competition, a sport that plays like Quidditch with sheep.
It’s the best animated film I’ve seen this year. It’s darker and more ambitious than the original, perhaps less well structured, but combines gorgeous visuals with surprisingly deep emotions. HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 does not disappoint. They clearly wanted to get it right and they did. DreamWorks Animation has made us wait four years for the sequel to their most beloved toon HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (DESPICABLE ME, RIO and both of their sequels were released between the two DRAGON films).
