A stand out sequel to one of the best animated features.

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 2014)

"How to Train your Dragon" was a surprise hit for me, the kind of movie that apparently comes out of nowhere yet manages to keep you interested and invested throughout. Even despite it's rather silly title. It was emotional, well paced, well animated and had a ton of character development to boot. Plus, the voice acting was excellent.
With that being said, i think it's sequel delivers on everything the first one did and at the same time manages to surpass it on every level. The characters get more developed, the CGI is improved, the action is more present throughout. Literally, every single criticism i might have had from the first film is now gone in the second one.
Do see this movie, it's one of the better animated pictures to come out in quite some time and it is as enjoyable for grown ups as it is for kids.
