Soaring right past the original!

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2014)

Epic sequel! Epic movie! This is one of those sequels that by far exceeds the original film. How to train your dragon 2 is spectacular.
What I like most about the movie is the animation. The character designs are great. I especially like Hiccup whose new look help to show how much he has matured since the last picture. The backgrounds and layouts were very lively showing the full scale of the whole thing. This was great for the flying parts. Some of the new dragons in the movie were really cool to look at. My Favorite was the Alpha male Dragon, one of the best giant monsters I've seen on the big screen.
The animation only complements the strong story. It feels like the Franchise has grown up with the audience since the last picture about 4 or 5 years ago. Definitely something that the whole family can root for.
This is a must see for IMAX 3D
