One of The Best Animated Films of All Time!

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2015)

How To Train Your Dragon 2, which is directed by Dean DeBlois, is the story of Hiccup, now at the age of 20, and the growing bond between him and his dragon Toothless. I think this is a great film for many reasons. First, this is probably the best cinematography I've seen in an animated film. The action is great, and aesthetically speaking, this movie would definitely get a 10/10. This movie really illustrates the growing bond developing between Toothless and Hiccup, and how they can't take each other for granted. This movie also portrays Hiccup's maturity, as opposed to 5 years ago. Hiccup is starting to realize that he can't be the chief his father wanted him to be, and that he'll never replace someone so selfless, caring, and brave. This movie really has a lot of heart. It delves into themes like responsibility, dealing with loss, loyalty, and peace. How To Train Your Dragon 2 builds upon its predecessor, and exceeds it by encompassing the virtues of a true chief. How To Train Your Dragon 2 is definitely worth 5 watches, and I'd highly recommend checking it out.
