Not without problems

Rating: 6/10 (4 November 2014)

How to train your dragon 2 is the second installment in this trilogy. Its now five years later and most of the main characters are young adults. It's definitely a bold move. But it pays off nicely. The animation software used to build this film is amazing. The environments, characters, and dragons all look premium. Trying to watch the first after seeing this almost is unbearable its that good. Even if the first film has amazing animation. Which it does. Hiccups dad now is realizing his time is up as chief of his viking tribe. He wants to train hiccup in becoming the chief. But being young and rebellious hiccup just flies off on his pet dragon. Finding new unmarked territories. The relationship between him and his dragon is better then ever. The solid bond is made even stronger in this film. While in a new territory hiccup stumbles across a masked figure who takes him to a dragon colony. Its his mom. Yeah! Turns out that his mom ran off years ago and is living with these dragons. She knows nearly everything and anything about them. Not unlike hiccup. A little while passes and we finally meet the villain of this flick. Drago Bloodfist. He is for sure the weakest part of this film. While we learn emotional deep things about most of the main characters we learn nothing about him. He is a pretty pathetic attempt at a villain. If they tried at all. Once we meet Bloodfist the plot also thins out. A very promising premise is thrown away to try and have the emotion carry it. It attempts to cover it up in almost any way you can think of. Death, loss of limb, etc. Its sad to see it give up on itself like it does. All in all How To Train Your Dragon 2 is great kids flick filled with emotion, superb animation, and brilliant deep characters. But it does suffer from a flat plot line and a 2nd dimensional villain.
