A fantastic sequel: Enough said

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2014)

A lot of stuff happens in this movie. I won't spoil it, but since 5 years has passed in the universe of HTTYD, the film is undeniably more mature.
I think the reason that there's a 5 year gap is to make room for the television show that's currently in production. I guess it will fill the gaps in between, which is fair enough.
Probably the most surprising thing about this movie is the director. The original film was written and directed by 3 people (the guys who made Lilo and Stitch, another great film), but only one of them stayed behind to direct the sequel. I'll assume without evidence the other two moved either to the TV series or to some other project. But since it's more of a solo project than a threesome project, it's a lot less clichéd and a lot more focused on a single story.
Yes, there is a lot of things that don't make sense, and a lot of things that could be changed, but lets ignore that for now and enjoy what is undeniably a spectacular film.
