Review of How to Train Your Dragon 2

Dean DeBlois returns to direct the sequel to hit movie How to Train Your Dragon. I can't believe it has already been 4 years since the first film came out. Time really flies by you when you don't realize it. You can definitely see the animation is more finely tuned this time around not that the previous film was anything to complain about. Toothless has to be the most adorable dragon ever. He kind of reminds of the goofiness of Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy. The first one was lighthearted and had a good amount of humor. This one however has a more serious, dramatic tone to it. Of course it still has humor spread through it, but it was just more emotional and mature. I enjoyed seeing the various new dragons that showed up. The battle scenes were intense and crazy. It was a really great follow up and I would be excited to see a third one. It's great for all ages, but I think kids should definitely have some parental guidance. I recommend it if you liked the first one.
