Excellent sequel. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is filled with nothing more than good writing, good voice acting, and really good animation. This is one animated sequel that plays along like a good one is supposed to. Awesome characters and even better animation than the first film. Adds much more emotion than its predecessor too. I was impressed. Definitely one of Dreamworks' better series' already.

At times this feels almost like it could be a live action film. This next gen type of animated film doesn't try to overdose us on the kiddie themes and adds enough entertainment to make it interesting for adults. The flying and action setups are intelligent and well done. The lore and characters are predictable but it is all charming and a likeable child fantasy riff of adult themes we're all familiar with. The flawless animation and interesting art direction deserves praise.

The title of the film seems a little inane seeing as literally everyone in the village has already trained their dragon. While I liked the film it did nothing that really shocked me and I always felt like I knew where the story was headed and was pretty disappointed when the film ended up tied neatly in a bow, instead of being open-ended like Empire Strikes Back, which the director has cited was a huge influence for him. The animation however was impeccable.

A soaring sequel that falls just short of the dazzling heights of its predecessor, the script has a few hiccups(heh) but it still has a heart bigger than any dragon, and that emotional core allows it to be a thoughtful, compelling, and worthy follow up to the original film. If all of the sequels can stay true to that core then Dreamworks will have something special on their hands for years to come.

The most satisfying non-Pixar animated sequel I've seen in years and easily the best film from Dreamworks Animation Studio. The first How to Train Your Dragon was a big surprise for me, and the follow-up delivers on every level with better animation, higher stakes, a broader world and a more emotional story. It's vikings riding dragons. Impossible not to walk away from it smiling.

It's not bad, by any means, but there's not much character development here. Half the characters in the first one hardly need to be in the second one. The villain in this movie's been absent for 20 years, with no attempt to contact the village? Just feels... contrived. It's beautiful, it has a passable story, warts and all. But it's not as good as the first.

i didn't see the first one, so i can't rate the film against that, but this one did fairly well on its own. i went in not expecting much, but was blown away by how adorably cute the dragon was - they did a fantastic job crafting that character and forming his relationship with hiccup. there were also some tear-jerkingly touching moments about love and family, which always get me. i can't say it's up there with my favourite animated films, but it did well and i enjoyed it.

I liked this one just a little bit more than the first. Everything in this movie is better than the first. i mean the screenplay was clever and funny, the animation was spot on and the actors were a great choice. They did a great job on making the characters look older. I really liked this movie and i think anyone would; Action lovers, comedy lovers, anyone. This is one of those rare squeals.Well done.

All of that makes this a film several degrees more complex in its portrayal of human (and dragon) goodness ... as well as in giving us a shadowy glimpse of the opposite. So while How to Train Your Dragon 2 is every bit as entertaining and engaging as its predecessor, it's traded some of the whimsical, childlike wonder for a more nuanced--and at times darker--examination of the clash between good and evil.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 is a goofy movie for a variety of reasons. For one, it almost seems like it goes out of its way to reinforce the stereotype that kids in animated movies can't have two living parents at the same time. Secondly, the villain is a ridiculous joke, and his scream -- which is about 75% of his communication power -- made me laugh every time. Wtf, Djimon Hounsou? Toothless and Hiccup are a good duo, though. I dig it. The animation is also much improved over the first.

Fantastic movie that's better than the original. It ticks all the necessary boxes of a god sequel: New character arc, switch out the side characters so we don't hear the same jokes, up the stake, and expand the world. Also refreshing to see some dark elements in an animated movie, added some twist I didn't expect

I loved 'How to Train Your Dragon'. Sadly, the sequel is pretty bland. What was so great about the first movie were the endearing quiet moments. Here, all we get is action-filled nonsense. I'm not particularly angry with DreamWorks, just indifferent (and, yes, *very* disappointed). [I watched it again, and it's a little better than I initially gave it credit for. Not great, but - once my expectation were set to a more reasonable level - pretty enjoyable.]

Dreamworks had a tall order trying to reach the heights that they managed with the first film (most were rightfully shocked that they even got that far in the first place, with the bullshit they usually churn out), but this sequel is a worthy effort in almost every way. It's a beautifully crafted world, it's funny, and this installment definitely goes straight for the heart at a couple of different points. This is safely better than anything Pixar has done since TS3.

Seemed a little more broad than the first and the dramatic moments struck me as cheesy more than genuine. Also a whole lot of sequences that seemed ripped directly from the Lion King (which in turn was a rip off of the White Lion as I understand). Nevertheless, this world is a lot of fun and the animation was even better than the stellar animation in the first. Good, solid fun overall.

The second part of "How to Train your Dragon" might not be a masterpiece,but it was still a beautifully and technically made piece of animation. it might not had the first awe-inspiring moments of revelation or universal tone regarding different perspective. It was still a satisfied journey of adventurous narrative and colorful character that at times could relate to. by no means,this dragon-rider sequel is the best sequel coming from Dream works studio since 2004 joyful "Shrek 2".

The director of this said his primary influence was The Empire Strikes Back, and it shows -- Hiccup even has a little viking light-saber. As such, the film is good, but flawed, as it lacks Empire's willingness to be the open-ended middle chapter and leave some questions and answers lingering. As such, the film wraps itself up in a nice little bow, making this adventure feel less special and giving the third film no reason to exist. It's a shame, because these films are great otherwise.

A beautiful film, start-to-finish wonderful. Where to begin? The lush, colourful visuals. The heart-rending journey of Hiccup and Toothless, whose lives are forever changed by the genuinely brave steps the plot takes. The utterly compelling action sequences, intense but never chaotic, keeping your mind thoroughly engaged alongside the visceral intensity. And the insanely heartwarming background antics of Toothless, the witty screenplay, the surfeit of freaking adorable dragons.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a better film than its predecessor, which was also a good -- if not great -- film. It's funny, charming, action-packed, a little scary, emotionally resonate, and absolutely gorgeous from start to finish. It struggles in the story department, and it's not particularly suspenseful, but it's well worth seeing. It's an improvement on something that was already good, and that's what you want out of a sequel. This is an enjoyable movie for both children and adults.

This is an absolutely stunningly gorgeous film. Dreamworks' animation in the HTTYD films keeps blowing me away. As someone who is a big dragon nerd, watching Toothless move and emote is a joy to behold. And the textures and detail in this film.. hnng. So good. Story-wise it is quite strong, though the first one still has a special place in my heart. This sequel isn't afraid to be darker than the first film, and it certainly delivers some emotional blows. Go and see it on the big screen!

I admire that it keeps a good amount of what made the first movie good, while it doesn't re-hash the same story. A lot of it seemed a bit heavy for a kids movie; I mean it goes from "Aww look how cute the baby dragons are" to "'Whoa he's missing an arm!" I'd have also liked to see more development of Hiccup and Astrid's relationship. All in all a good sequel.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a rare example of a sequel that surpasses it's predecessor. Everything that was enjoyable about the first film has progressed, from the scope, character development, incredible animation and spectacular flying sequences, this truly is a superior sequel. But most importantly Hiccup & Toothless are once again the beating heart of the story. This is definitely one of my favorite animated films of 2014 and there's great momentum for a third installment to follow.

The film has some outstanding set pieces, and hopes for some Shadow of the Colossus-style grandeur and dramatic heft. It succeeds at this in moments, but if the movie would have slowed down to explore those quiet calms-before-the-storms, we'd have a film. Unfortunately, it beats the emotion into you instead of letting it linger. This makes it a little too quaint to be impactful.

I was surprised to like this silly story. Many excellent characters and animations, but also a few poor ones that mar an otherwise very high quality production. They attempt many high and low emotions but only succeed marginally at conveying any intensity. A lot of interesting and fun action, but some shabby or lazy art direction drags it down a few notches. Mostly satisfying and interesting and sometimes funny. Nice voices and music, but some hokey sound effects too.

A sequel which far surpasses the first film, in scope, character development and emotion. The animation and music were breathtaking, making the flight sequences even more enjoyable. The only problems with it were the somewhat mustache twirling villain, and that stupid girl twin.

Pleasant, if a little bland and formulaic. It's let down by a so-so middle act and a listless uninteresting villian. There are however several really nice moments and laughs, the design is again wonderful and the animation impressive. It's a nice companion piece to the first movie and would, if left alone, be a well thought-of duo of family movies. However I expect the DreamWork's to well a truly rinse the franchise now.

The villain was silly and forgettable, and the other dragonrider storyline... listen, you can't show me someone and say "look, they love & care for dragons, they're good!" and then tell me "oh and also they abandoned a child, but look!

Dull sequel again suffers from sometimes too hectic pacing and vocal performances, with all and sundry overdirected to hammer home every joke to its audience. Lightweight and innocuous enough in its messages to be passable, with Blanchett adding little as a "dragonlife" warrior; spectacular CGI animation makes it at least pleasant to look at.

Not much in the way of the substance here. Not as charming as the first yet still holds a bit of charm. Watchable.

Surprisingly manages to improve from the first one. The Empire Strikes Back - influences are quite clearly visible.

W4E1P1S1V2M2A1R1. A decent follow up to the original, though a little bit too redundant in many ways. Happy for the redundancy in the score and animation, though, which are still great.

I just hope there isn't a third one, this one was not actually needed.

Damn Jay Baruchel's voice is grating. The movie on a whole is inoffensive and watchable.

A big step-up from the original, with some impressive and interesting art direction, a less generic fantasy setting, some brilliant sequences (especially in the second act) and some storytelling moves which really push the dramatic boundaries of a film like this, without falling into the Pixar trap of being essentially for adults or overtly tugging at heartstrings. The animation is absolutely brilliant, and the character development is good for a sequel too - things are kinda complex sometimes!

Not bad but could have been stronger. Astrid got demoted to the background group. Spoiler: The story felt rushed, the ending was too close to the death of a main character.

An absolute delight, even better than the first film; a gorgeously animated ode to peacemaking, nonconformity, and sticking to your principles in the face of ultimate adversity.

It's checks all the right boxes, but it definitely lacks a lot of the charm of the first.

More of the same, really, but considering how beautifully animated, genuine and funny the original was, how can I complain? Although it has no reason to reinvent the wheel, it does make a good effort in world building and raising the stakes. The villain is terribly one dimensional, which is unfortunate, but the heroes are all likeable and compelling enough.

The thematic richness that made the first film surprisingly good is largely missing in this sequel which often mistakes mawkish sentimentality for emotional truths.

Scottish/Irish/Jamaican(?!) Christian monarchist vikings in a tired rehash. In contrast to the first movie, the sequel doesn't try to have a message or a moral to the story, and the godlike "alphas" exist only as plot devices and come and go without explanation.
