Fantastic Follow-up (Minor Spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2014)

The first "How to Train your Dragon" was, without a doubt, a wonderful animated movie. This sequel is equally as good (if not better!) than it's predecessor. We get to witness the isle of Berk roughly 5 years after the events of the last movie. Hiccup and Toothless are exploring the world, and the rest of the Vikings have fully accepted dragons into their society.
This movie informs us that the residents of Berk aren't the only ones who have gained "mastery" over dragons, and it reveals some of said people, while still opening up space for more story, more continuation, which I am all for. Story-wise, this receives a 10/10 from me.
Then we come to the music. All the old feeling and majesty during dragon-flight scenes from the previous film returns, while still mixing in and adding new sections to fit fresh scenarios. The visuals are also fantastic, exceeding the original and adding new detail and fresh designs to dragons.
Overall, a wonderful movie that held my attention for the entire duration (I can't say the same for some people sitting near me....), and I now look forward to the planned third installment to this wonderful adaptation. Keep it up, guys.
