Yet another sequel misses the mark

Rating: 6/10 (11 July 2014)

How to train your dragon part one was a refreshing and enjoyable movie. Part 2 on the contrary fails to deliver in my opinion.The special effects, dragon fight scenes and animation are superior. But I feel there is something faulty in the domestic scenes which don't involve fighting. The shallow way the mother reacts after 20 years apart from her son. The asinine way in which the chief dies in an instant but the other characters are all standing without a single scratch in the middle of 1000 fire breathing dragons which are mind warped ie. hypnotized by the alpha dragon is a little immature. Also how night fury manages to challenge the new alpha dragon is bewildering, considering the fact that both alphas looked to be a completely different breed. They were both 100 times bigger than normal dragons and breathe ice plus look somewhat like a Japanese Spider Crab. But somehow this tiny night fury defeats the alpha ... crazy huh?
If you still thought its all well and good then you will enjoy this film. I gave it 6/10 stars because I feel kids would like this movie.
