Its also a lot darker and more mature, whilst still retaining that fun sense of adventure and amazing visuals. An unexpectedly touching coming-of-age story. Karo: In this sequel, Hiccup has grown up into a moody teenager who has constant conversations with everyone nearby about what his place in the world might be. This totally does not ever get annoying. There is a level of 'epicness' here that you normally don't see in Dreamworks movies, everyone is constantly zooming through through sky epically, perched on a ledge somewhere staring at the beautiful (and epic) scenery, or fighting everyone else epically to suitably epic music. Usually what follows next is some ill-timed wisecrack or some unfunny bit of physical comedy to make absolutely sure that the mood is ruined. On some of Hiccup's emo explorations he runs into another culture that makes use of dragons, this one not nearly as friendly as his own. The first thing they do upon meeting the evil edgelord dragonmaster is to literally tell him exactly what island they are from, who Hiccup's father is, and that they pose a massive threat to his armada so he should murder them all first chance he gets. These kids must have graduated from the James Bond villain school of running your fucking mouth off. Anyway there is a big battle and the villain is defeated (but not decisively, theres a third movie coming out!) and Hiccup becomes the new chief. Still even with all the goings on the movie feels empty somehow, as if something important was lost amidst all thee epic action scenes. With the exception of the scenes with Hiccup and his mother it seems to have lost much of its heart, which is what made the first movie great, not oh wow cool dragons flying zoom zoom I'm going to touch myself cuz this is so awesomeeeee! --- :> Truly smilin' ...
