First of all, the difference lies in the story. "How to Train Your Dragon" takes "How to Train Your Dragon" as the main line. The novelty of the theme and the great reversal of the plot naturally have the dramatic conflict and appeal, and in the second part, again, Let these fierce-looking dragons come out one by one to sell cute-the way to sell cute is still the same, they are all imitating pet dogs-although there are more dragons in number and types, they can't be more attractive. It can be said that the first part of this series is too strong, and no matter how you turn it over later, it will not achieve the fresh excitement of the first part.
The second part adds new characters, the most important of course is Cate Blanchett's mother. Kate’s dubbing is aside, but the setting of this character is very problematic and unreasonable. A mother abandons her infant child and stays with a group of dragons. It is impossible to justify it. Therefore, the film did not even intend to explain. When Kate gave a series of bluffs to the brawny husband but failed to give an explanation. , The creative staff lightly revealed this article with the sentence "You are still as beautiful as when you left me". And her appearance in the plot promoted only that Yazi opened her double dorsal fins, and the other was to frighten her son by pretending to be foolish.
There are also new characters added and new villains. The setting of this character is very interesting. Hiccups train dragons as pets, while the villains domesticate them as livestock. It can be seen that in the eyes of humans, being a pet is happier than being a livestock. The two "dragon kings" that the newly added dragons most steal the spotlight are the two "dragon kings", but they look extremely powerful, but they are still arching each other in the fight, and the decent dragon kings are too vulnerable.
Overall, in order to deal with these added content, the whole movie seems to be in a hurry. Every addition gives a menacing opening, but it ends with a sloppy and shabby end. Where you think the pen and ink should be added, it should be simplified as much as possible; where you think the explanation should be given, it will not be mentioned. No wonder many people say that this is the third cutscene.
As a Hollywood commercial cartoon, the most dissatisfying thing about it is that it has too few laughs! ! ! Except for the ugly dragons that follow the first movie (the ugly dragon is what ugly is talking about), the laughs are not too dense. Of course, the children laughed happily when they saw them stepping on people and hitting the wall.
When the first domestic film was released, I went to the premiere (it was a very, very shabby premiere), and I still had a good impression of this novel movie, but the second one was quickly mediocre (non-technical Level), which makes me feel very pity.
