How to Train your Dragon 2 - Thoughts?

[thejboy88]

Not a review, but I wanted to hear what people's thoughts were on this movie. I personally loved it and felt that it was better than the original. And if I had to cite one major failing, it's that the trailers gave away a pretty big shock moment regarding one of the characters, but even then it didn't make the film any less enjoyable for me.

So yeah, what did all of you think about it?

I was a bit miffed about the reveal, until I saw the movie. Honestly, there isn't a lot that hinges on it. It's revealed pretty early in the movie and isn't the primary conflict. I think the reason they went ahead and revealed it was to build anticipation and excitement without just doing the typical rigmarole of "Here's the bad guy, doesn't be look mean? Look! Dragon fights!"

Honestly, the biggest surprise the movie REALLY had to offer was Stoic dying, which was still handled well and kept under wraps.
