So far, the best entertainer of 2014....

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2014)

It's always a hard job to make a sequel for a successful movie. It becomes harder when the first one is an epic. How to Train Your Dragon is one of the best animation movie ever made and it's one of my all-time favorites. So, when I heard about a sequel, I was more cautious than exited. First of all, How to Train Your Dragon was a perfect piece of cinema. It had everything that a moviegoer could ask, with which are perfectly blended together. It was also a bit conclusive. They had a problem and they found a solution, it was as simple as that. So, what was there to bring a follow-up was actually a few. With all these in my mind, I visited the movie house, and it's safe to say that the experience wasn't a disappointment.
Just like it's predecessor, How to Train Your Dragon is a fun movie with ravishing visuals- a must-watch on 3-D, awesome action sequences, adequate drama and sentiments. Though the movie derails a bit in the middle parts, the following action and visuals takes the wagon to the finish line in fashion. The plot goes as follow- Hiccup and his buddy Night Fury embarks on a voyage to find new lands, and they finds themselves in the hands of a group of dragon thieves. They are trying to capture and forward dragons to a man named Drago, so that he can build a dragon army. To persuade Drago to relieve from his evil task, Hiccup travels to find Drago by neglecting the warnings of his father. The story moves with Hiccup's findings through this trip.
Apart from everything technical, which are as good as the predecessor, what the sequel lacks is a strong plot. Well, it's a fact that it can't be matched with the original since it was entertaining and touching at the same time. It had to be concluded that plot-wise, the original can not be competed. But on every other aspects, the sequel managed to catch up with it's predecessor.
As a final word, How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a worthy addition to the series, but it's no match for the original. Still, it manages to entertain us. Aside from a bit dark plot lines and some ambiguous back stories, this movie is a perfect entertainer for the weekend, and so far the best one of this year.....
