Storyline
It's been five years since Hiccup and Toothless successfully united
dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snotlout and
the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the
island's new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey
through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new
worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret
ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious
Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle
to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up
for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have
the power to change the future of both men and dragons.
User Reviews
I
picked up my future wife for a simple dinner and a movie date. We
hadn't picked out a movie yet as we had decided to choose at the
theater. Upon arriving, we saw that How To Train Your Dragon 2 was
selling it's 8:00-10:00 Thursday night showings. I'd completely
forgotten it was coming out Friday, so both of us, ecstatic, decided on
that movie.
I went in expecting a great film.
I came out blown away.
I
can honestly say I've never seen a sequel better than it's predecessor,
but How To Train Your Dragon 2 does nothing but improve and top the
first one.
The music was the best I've heard in a very long
time. The story introduced so many things that was simply another piece
of master storytelling. The relationships in the movie, especially
Toothless' and Hiccup's, were written to their absolute strongest.
After
all the films I've seen, all the shows I've watched, all the books I've
read, I have never come across a friendship stronger than Hiccup's and
Toothless'. The way they write that relationship is just . . . it's
never been done before.
The story itself is actually pretty
simple and actually a really short story, but it's a story you could
tell the writer fell in love with. And he brought this story to the best
it can absolutely be. The villain was chilling, the characters'
outcomes were emotional, and the climax will completely shake your soul.
I have no complaints. No complaints at all. There is nothing I would change about that film. Not a single thing.
I just really hope they saved the best for last, because I don't know how they're going to top it.
