Film Review: How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)

Reviewed by Indranil (8S)

I decided to watch How to Train Your Dragon 2 as I thought it was going to be as action-packed as the first one.
The plot develops around a boy named Hiccup. At the beginning of the movie, Astrid (Hiccup’s future wife), Snotloud, Fishlegs, Ruffnut and Tuffnut (twins) are having a race. The race is to ride your dragon, find and collect sheep in your basket and whoever has the most sheep wins. At this moment Hiccup and Toothless, Hiccup’s dragon, are exploring to find new lands to wander.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 by Dean DeBlois is an animation that is full of action, silliness, extreme sadness and adventure. The movie creates tension when Hiccup and his friends are in deep danger from Drago Bloodfist, the antagonist of the movie. The movie also creates sadness when Hiccup’s dad, Stoik, gets shot by Toothless, who was under the spell of Drago Bloodfist. Action can be seen when Hiccup’s army have a huge battle with Drago Bloodfist’s army. The movie also shows adventure when Hiccup and his friends are exploring new lands. This film is action-packed and full of adventure. These genres are the most important ones in the movie.


Overall, this film has definitely supplemented my personal collection of favourite animations. The action and adventure really managed to create an exciting atmosphere. I think this film is targeted to 7 year-olds but can be watched and enjoyed by all the family.
