I didn't watch it

Um...how do I say, "How to Train Your Dragon" does not need to introduce good-looking or not-good-looking, if you like the first part, then even if the second part is bad, I have to see where the difference
is. In fact, I didn’t like the first part very much. There is only one impression left: it breaks the convention of Hollywood 3D animation that has a happy ending. I won’t say that a character hangs up, and I stand up again with a few words and a few tears.
But "How to Train Your Dragon 2" still falls into the cliché. I don't know if the sequel likes it. Take "Despicable Me" as an example, the first work is obviously quite distinctive, and when it comes to the sequel, it becomes a tangled puberty again. , Family, growing up, and other issues are not much different from other similar movies of the same genre.
The same is true for this work. After 90 minutes of watching it, it feels very empty, as if not. The only impression left is the more and more annoying protagonist, his mother’s vivid body language and the muscular villain, even in the film. The climax battle, after watching it, it is also plain (it is a pity that there is a rare villain who does things cleanly and has a very good aura)


Overall rating: 3.5/5.0 (can be regarded as a popcorn movie)
Entertainment Index: 3.3/5.0 ( Yes A little humor, not such an exciting battle, and there is some joy in the process)
Aftertaste Index: 1.1/5.0 (I don’t have any impression after reading it)
Box office performance: The cost of this work is 145 million, which is cheaper than a generation. 20000000. It feels... Animation is really more expensive than commercial movies... And besides the good shots of Flying Dragon World, I don't think the scenery is good. Because of the good reputation of the generation, and the box office of 3D cartoons is basically not much difference, so the box office in the first week is 49.45 million. Nevertheless, the main force is overseas, which earned 441.9 million, and the final global box office was 618.9 million.


Although the second generation maintains its characteristics-it does not deliberately make a happy ending, but the sacrifice of his father is a bit deliberate. Speaking of this, where did he have the confidence to persuade the villain, and what he said, "By persuading Dad, he can persuade others. This is what he is good at." . . He couldn't even persuade his dad to let him try it. The subsequent development also showed that his set was too weak compared to the villain. He didn't even talk about the point. The debate battle can be described as a terrible loss to the
little villain. It looks a lot like the little villain in "How to Train Your Dragon", and his personality is a bit like. Is there really something inside?
I don't know how "How to Train Your Dragon 2" got the Oscar nomination for Best Animation...

    Every time I see the cloud line drawn by the toothless boy soaring in the sky, I feel inexplicable enthusiasm. The human dream of flying has existed long before the White brothers! (In the middle part of the family scene, I really want to set off the table~)

    The 3D is outstanding and the sound effects are brilliant, but Volka does not look like a good wife and mother. Its "no pretentious, giver to death" bitch style continues the bad trend of Hollywood deliberately suppressing men and exalting feminism in recent years. As for the Toothless Boy, its level of malice and cuteness is close to flattery. Apart from having two wings, you can hardly see any essential difference between it and Hachiko. Central idea: It’s not whoever has the big bird under the crotch, who has the final say.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 quotes

  • Stoick the Vast: Men who kill without reason cannot be reasoned with.

  • Hiccup: [at Stoick's funeral] I'm sorry, Dad. I'm not the chief that you wanted me to be and I'm not the peacekeeper I thought I was. I... don't know...

    Valka: You came early into this world. You were such a wee thing. Oh, so frail, so fragile. I feared you wouldn't make it. But your father, he never doubted. He always said you'd become the strongest of them all. And he was right. You have the heart of a chief and the soul of a dragon. Only you can bring our worlds together. That is who you are, son.

    Hiccup: I, uh... I was so afraid of becoming my dad. Mostly because I thought I never could. How-how do you become someone that great, that brave, that selfless? I guess you can only try. A chief protects his own. We're going back.

    Tuffnut: Uh... with what?

    Ruffnut: Uh, he took all the dragons.

    Hiccup: Not all of them.
