The characters in this movie are charmers. They've got me so well-trained, I'm even looking forward to HTTYD3.

It has a richness that's highly compelling, especially in the way it explores the complex relationship between man and beast.

The filmmakers borrow freely from Avatar, Sword In The Stone and even Brave but they bring enough vigour and imagination to their storytelling to get away with it.

This swooping and soaring sequel boasts big thrills, innovative set-pieces and a surprisingly radical political outlook.

Hats off to Dreamworks for offering some bold surprises in a respectable sequel filled with moments of humour and emotion among its ample noise and movement.

At times terrifying and too tough for tinies, this is nevertheless a triumphant sequel that puts its faith in Hiccup and Toothless to find a way through dark times for man and dragon.

Audience Reviews for How to Train Your Dragon 2

Apr 01, 2016How to Train Your Dragon 2 has all the stuff we loved from the first movie but adds a lot more emotion and depth. This film is not only a gorgeously animated fun family flick but it's also pretty dark and is very action packed as well. How to Train Your Dragon 2 might be my favourite Dreamworks film and one of my favourite animated films of all time!Mr N Super Reviewer

Aug 22, 2015With a heavy handed message about animal rights and one-dimensional characters, How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a disappointing sequel that lacks the sense of fun of the original. After learning that a Viking warlord is assembling a dragon army, Hiccup attempts to seek him out in order to negotiate a peace that will spare his village. The plot is pretty formulaic and follows the usual tropes of a sequel. Also, the tone is rather dark and is fairly light on the comedy. The animation however, is extraordinarily well-done and is especially crisp and colorful. How to Train Your Dragon 2 fails to recapture the wonder and thrill of the original, but it's still entertaining and has some exciting action.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jan 09, 2015It plays out the "identity crisis" plot not uncommon in these kinds of animated sequels in a predictable fashion, but I can't deny it's entertaining.Alec B Super Reviewer

Dec 26, 2014An enjoyable, if inferior, sequel concerning the adventures of Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) and Toothless, and how they come across an angry dragon trapper (voiced by Djimon Hounsou) who is bent on revenge and capturing all of Hiccup's tribe's dragons. A little on the long side, but still emotionally powerful with twists in the plot that are equally heartbreaking and surprising; if you were a fan of the first movie you should love this one too. The action sequences are still exciting and the characters are still very interesting, and it will be fascinating to see where the writers go from here in developing this series considering how beloved it has become.Dan S Super Reviewer
