Not seen the 1st part.. but very much understood most of the film. The plot revolves around Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) who would be the next chief of the Berk Island, as told to him by his father Stoick (Gerarld Butler). But Hiccup prefers adventures with his dragon Toothless, to discover new worlds. And he ends up reaching a secret  ice cave which is home to hundreds of new wild dragons, and a mysterious Dragon Rider, Valka  (Cate Blanchett). They both must now stand up and keep the island peaceful, as the threat of Drago (Djimon Hounsou) looms large on them who wants to capture and  control all the dragons.

Unlike the animation movies I have seen before, this one is comical but more dramatic and emotional. Frozen probably was the last one that was more or less on same lines on the emotion level.

Some excellent visuals, be it the initial dragon race or the journey of Hiccup-Toothless in the skies, or the new world of dragons Hiccup discovers, or the fight against Drago.

Love the scene between Stoick and Valka, and the past story narrated by Valka. Hiccup and his girlfriend Astrid (America Ferrera) give some cute moments, and also special mention to Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig) who is blindly attracted to a guy they meet on the ice cave, and her comments make you laugh a lot.


How to train your dragon 2 is a good watch if you like animation movies and not prefer a total comical movie.  The key part that you love, is the relation Valka and Toothless shares with Hiccup.


Verdict : 3/5
