If the biggest regret in the first part is the number and types of dragons, then in the second part, the director has fully realized this desire of the audience. The biggest highlight of How to Train Your Dragon 2 is undoubtedly the spectacular sight of flying dragons. For people like me who have a hobby of collecting and like pictorial works, it is straightforward. Just two days before the release, Mtime.com released a special news about the dragon family map of "How to Train Your Dragon 2", which classified all dragons in How to Train 2 into Thunder and Lightning, Rock, and Deep Sea by attributes. , Tracking category, etc., etc., and each dragon’s flame type, good skills and hidden tricks are introduced in detail. There are also various data such as attribute lists and combat power values. It reminds me of the "Pokémon" and "Digimon" that I was crazy about when I was a child. My love for pictorial works began at that time. Knowing that I saw this special news, my expectations for "How to Train Your Dragon 2" are still full, and I have added a lot of new expectations.
I walked into the theater with full expectation. At the beginning, it was a Quidditch-like game. I saw the familiar friends and their dragons competing in the air in the first part. There was nothing in this part. It made me excited. It felt no different from Quidditch, except that the broom was replaced by a flying dragon, a golden snitch, and a black goat, but the cute and stupid black goat and its innocent expression really made me cute. The protagonist, Hiccup, did not appear in the first time, but like a lone ranger, he updated his "high-tech" equipment and his cool and cute night evil spirit-Toothless Boy, together to open up a new world. In my opinion, people who like to act alone have the potential to act deliberately. Sure enough, my guess was correct. In the following story, my love for this film began to decline. Hiccup’s recklessness, self-righteousness, and arrogance made me dislike him. Of course, you would say, "People are the protagonist, and there is nothing wrong with the protagonist's halo around him." But he will be fine, and I don't want to be because of him. His recklessness led to accidents for other characters. After all, I am a person who likes supporting roles more than the protagonist. But if the story continues to develop steadily in this way, what's the point of it? no way.
Next, I want to talk about the sudden mother of Hiccup and this old twilight love between the chief and his wife. I don’t know why a mom appeared out of nowhere. In the previous story, it seemed that Hiccup’s mother was mentioned in a flash. There was no other preparation, but a mysterious person appeared later and everyone thought it was a boss. It turned out to be the mother of Hiccup. Because of this, the meeting of the mother and son who had been separated for 20 years was not a bit touching, but was filled with a lot of strange feelings. However, the appearance of Hiccup’s mother inherited a scene that made my eyes bright. It was the first scene in the film where a group of dragons were flying. All kinds of naughty and cute little dragons. Yun Zhongyue and Toothless Boy feel more like a Samoyed and a Husky. They are very cute. It is also here. I first met Dragon King Alpha, two thick ones. Fangs and huge body reveal majesty and domineering everywhere. After the short surprise, it entered the stage of the plot that disappointed me. After the mother and son met, it was time for the husband and wife to reunite. This old evening love also did not touch and affect me. The first meeting is like at the end of a Hollywood hero blockbuster. The kiss between the hero and the beautiful woman, as well as these two characters, a father who looks like a wine barrel in the League of Legends, and a mother with a pointed chin, wide cheeks and narrow forehead. How did you give birth to a little hiccup? Hiccup, what about such a standard modern, rich and handsome child? This reminds me of DreamWorks’ another very successful animation work "Crazy Primitives". The characters in it, whether the heroine Xiaoyi’s family or the smarter Primitive Guy, you can feel it from any angle. Primitives, maybe I don't know what era or environment the people in the Dragon Trainer series are in, but the appearance and mutant genes of Hiccup make people feel awkward. In any case, the beautiful reunion of the family is a happy thing, but after that, the family has lived in the cave. Mom, father and son also have a housekeeper and countless pets. This kind of life is so unhappy. That said, but what is the theme of your story? Don’t you want to protect the dragon on your island? Didn’t you find the big boss to negotiate? Of course, you might say: "I just got together for a meal. Well, why are you in a hurry." Okay, then can you return to the subject before you finish eating, the big boss personally brought the army to come to the door, and this plot connection is too easy, right? There is also a previous episode where the chief and Hiccup sang affectionately. The song was not nice and the plot was not touching. Some netizens even said how to train the dragon 2
In short, the development of the plot cannot be separated from the ordinary. An important figure in the play honorably received the lunch. The halo of the protagonist is turned on, leading everyone to declare war on the evil forces, and the toothless boy finally transforms into a small version of Godzilla called the Dragon King. In the end, the film tells everyone that people and dragons should live in peace and treat them as friends instead of controlling them. The protagonist, Hiccup, has also grown into a true leader after hardships. It is a standard version of the popcorn family education movie.
Of course, the outside world has a very high evaluation of this film. In terms of the style and effect of the film, it is far better than the first one, the battle of the dragons, the duel of the two dragon kings, and the hiccups and toothlessness. The flying scenes of flying into the sky, coming from the clouds and going in the fog make people addicted to watching, but maybe I am a person who likes the plot to be bigger than the scene, I wish I could feel like a little hiccup. It has the thrill of Tengyun Tiantian, but the plot is a little worse. For friends who like effects and like me, like me, who likes collection animations, and of course, for the loyal fans of How to Train 1. Watch the video.
For this movie, I spray more than I love, which also shows that I have high expectations for it and the same high disappointment, but for this series I still have to give a high evaluation, how to train your dragon series to break It is beyond the limits of Western culture, because in the eyes of Westerners, dragons are evil things, and people who train dragons dare to turn evil things into their friends and live with humans. This is a wonderful theme. Of course, from the perspective of the final ending of the movie, there should be a third part if there is no accident. I hope how to train the dragon 3 at that time can give us a different feeling of subverting the front part, looking forward to it!
