The sequel that fell into the sequel

The sequel movies in recent years, except for Captain America, who successfully surpassed the predecessor, most of them have fallen into an embarrassing situation. Whether the subject is science fiction or animation, superhero or family fun, they all seem to be rushing to the scene to treat their favorites before. The elements are all missing.

The chaotic rhythm arrangement and pale deliberate villain motives of the previous Spider-Man 2 have been disgusting. Compared with the previous work’s meticulous psychological portrayal of Dr. Lizard and Wei Guangzheng’s three views, the second part is two selfish late stages. The story of the madness of good people in Secondary Two, the people who read it are very aggrieved.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 is also hard to escape this wave. The previous work portrayed the simple and touching relationship between man and nature, and explored self-discovery. By the sequel, everything disappeared. Toothless became a cute dog with no character. Hiccup also It started to be hypocritical, of course, all this is nothing compared to the sudden emergence of a mother. When I met Xiao Hiccup, I was a fashion god, and I was inexplicable when I explained the reason for leaving. Except for the plot arrangement when I was with my husband, everything about this mother was so out of place. It was just the screenwriter who forced this character in. It's very similar to the sudden emergence of a best friend in Transcendent 2.

There is nothing to say about the plot. The feeling expressed by the film and the grand scene are not as unmatched as Star Trek Diablo Unbounded. It is said that Diablo Unbounded really depends on the actors to express the urgency of the situation, the audience is There is no resonance at all. When it comes to the villain, it's almost untenable than the mother, and he opened the plug-in after being hurt by the dragon, and even surrendered to the dragon king, and finally lost under a bigger plug-in. Toothless now became the new Dragon King, and according to the order of Xiao Hiccup, Xiao Hiccup became the new chieftain, this is the King of Humans and the Dragon King again, so Tom Su!

In fact, the previous work also had the problem of Tom Su. The weak chicken caught the rare dragon species and suddenly became the savior of the world. But the running-in between the two species and the toothlessness most of the time makes everything reasonable and reasonable. Looking at the first part, you can feel that the dragon and the human are equal, and in the second part, the dragon is basically the same as the pet. . Will be cute and obedient, but there are no quirky spirits.

The difference between the two films can be summed up in one picture. You can see from the posters. The first poster is very simple. Hiccup is touching his toothless head in the moonlight. Both species are silent. , But I can feel that kind of emotion, the second part is a standard blockbuster.

I was in a bad mood in the morning. I cycled through the forbidden friendship of the previous work several times. It was really fairy-like and the picture was very strong. In the second part, except for the opening song with JONSI, there are really few good songs. How can I say? The second part should be done, but the first part is not as careful. Maybe it was this that caused the difference between the two movies. At the end of the movie, the original official setting appeared, which was very beautiful, but it was a pity that everyone in the movie theater had left, and I was the one who was watching it.

    Toothless boy is as cute as ever, and cartoons tend to arouse the viewers' thoughts, because you can really watch it.

    At the beginning, the "Sheep Ball Game" reminded me of "Quidditch", but it was slightly inferior to the "Egg Grab" of "Crazy Primitives", and then when I saw Little Hiccup and Toothless Boy flying in the sky, I cried. I ran; although the ice and snow in the later days had the feeling of "Ice Age 4", the colorful dragon's cave made me seem to have come to the planet of "Avatar" Pandora..., but the whole movie is still very cool; but how can you do it? Let dad...

How to Train Your Dragon 2 quotes

  • Hiccup: [after Valka tells her story] How did you survive?

    Valka: Oh, Cloudjumper never meant to harm me. He... must've thought I belonged here.

    [shows Hiccup the Bewilderbeast]

    Valka: In the home of the great Bewilderbeast. The alpha species. One of the very few that still exist. Every nest has its queen, but this is the KING of all dragons. With his icy breath, this graceful giant built our nest, a safe haven for dragons everywhere.

    Hiccup: [surprised] Wait, that's the ice-spitter? HE'S responsible for all that destruction?

    Valka: He protects us. We all live under his care and his command.

    [a group of baby dragons gang up on Toothless]

    Valka: All but the babies, of course...

    [Cloudjumper scares them off and they fly away to pester the Bewilderbeast. Valka giggles]

    Valka: ...who listen to no one!

  • Hiccup: [as Stoick drags him through the cave] Uh, wait! Okay, uh, Dad, there-there's something you need to know!

    Stoick the Vast: [impatiently] Yeah, yeah. Tell me on the way.

    Hiccup: No, this isn't an on-the-way kind of update, actually.

    Stoick the Vast: [stubbornly] I've heard enough!

    Hiccup: More of the earth-shattering-development variety.

    Stoick the Vast: Yeah, just add it to the pile.

    Hiccup: Yeah, I, uh, uh... Dad, u-unlike most surprises I spring on you, this is one you'll like. I-I promise. You just have to handle it... delicately. So...

    Valka: I know what you're gonna say, Stoick. How could I have done this? Stayed away all these years? And why didn't I come back to you? To our son? Well, what sign did I have that you could change, Stoick? That anyone on Berk could? I pleaded so many times to stop the fighting, to find another answer, but did any of you listen?

    Gobber: [aside, to Hiccup] This is why I never married. This and one other reason.

    Valka: I know that I left you to raise Hiccup alone, but I thought he'd be better off without me. And I was wrong. I see that now! But...

    [nervously backs up against the wall; on the verge of tears]

    Valka: Oh, stop being so stoic, Stoick! Go on! Shout! Scream! Say something!

    [Stoick touches Valka's cheek. She stares at him in fear]

    Stoick the Vast: [also on the verge of tears] You're as beautiful as the day I lost you.

    [Valka quietly weeps in relief; Stoick softly kisses her. A relieved and overjoyed Hiccup smiles]
