Magical Sequel

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2014)

I am an emotional wreck after watching one of the greatest sequels ever made. Dean DeBlois please step up and take a massive bow for you have created a masterpiece.
I loved the first film and was always worried that it would be a tough act to follow. I shouldn't have had any fears because this gorgeously animated follow up is everything I wanted and more. The slightly older Hiccup, Astrid and Toothless push all the right buttons and all the right times. Taking us on a journey that is sublimely written and doesn't stutter for a single second.
The action is fast paced, the villain is chilling, the backdrops are stunning and we get to know every character that little bit deeper. The relationship between Hiccup and Toothless could be THE most powerful, believable and dynamic friendship ever to take place in film. Their bond is so fantastic and so compelling to watch that it makes me feel warm and fluffy inside.
The music which carries on perfectly from the first film perfectly sets you up for the emotional roller-coaster you are put through. But the true champion of this film is the story. Its outstanding. A great follow on from the first that helps us love every character more and more whilst pulling hard on ever heart string available. Its perfect!
If the final instalment can carry on with this kind of standard this will hands down be my favourite story ever and certainly the best trilogy ever made. Watch it and watch it NOW!
