Warning: Minor SPOILERS follow (although nothing that hasn't already been shown in the trailers).
DreamWorks and writer-director Dean DeBlois' How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a prime example of how to do a sequel right. Building on all the best parts of the original How to Train Your Dragon, this animated followup doesn't take its franchise lightly. Rather, it bravely marches into new territory (sometimes literally), while still creating a story that focuses on its main characters. In addition to taking its world-building to the next level, How to Train Your Dragon 2 also taps into its rich franchise potential, setting itself up for future installments.
Set five years after the first film, How to Train Your Dragon 2 boldly ages its characters from teenagers to young adults. Our hero Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), now 20 years old, has picked up a lot of new tricks since we last saw him, and he's acquired a slick new arsenal that includes a custom wing suit, a duel-purpose prosthetic leg and, most notably, a telescoping fire sword (!).
Now less Harry Potter and more Luke Skywalker, the older Hiccup is a natural adventurer, always on the lookout for new and exciting places to go. As Hiccup puts it in the movie, "With Vikings on the backs of dragons, the world just got a whole lot bigger." However, Hiccup's father Stoick (Gerard Butler) has nobler plans for his son and hopes that Hiccup will take his place as Berk's Chief.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 does what most sequels can't -- that is, it expands on the original while maintaining the core elements of what made the first film so great. Featuring lots more action, humor and plenty of heart, this is an animated epic that can't be missed. In fact, it may be the best summer offering 2014 has to offer thus far. [poilib...
