A very disappointing sequel, really beautiful visually but without a real scenario

Rating: 4/10 (12 September 2014)

I can sympathize with all the great reviews, I love the dragons, I love Hiccup and I share his love for the bad-ass Astrid. And there is plenty of great breathtaking scenes in this new movie.
Yet the scenario is really lacking in almost every dimension. It is completely unclear why the villain (who, by the way, lacks any depth beyond I'm-angry-because-the-dragons-burned-my-village) is able to control such a huge dragon as the alpha. The introduction of the alpha as a race, after seeing the dragon villain in the first movie, is also very debatable. The telepathic control that the human villain gains almost for himself is such a stretch that it's bordering inconsistency. The list could go on and on and on.
