How To Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) 7/10

Starring : Starring : Jay Baruchel, Cate Blanchett, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Djimon Hounsou
Director : Dean DuBlois
Running Time : 103 mins

Hiccup (Baruchel) and his dragon Toothless find a hidden ice cave filled with wild dragons, they soon realise that the peace they have spent the last five years cultivating might be at risk from Drago (Hounsou) and his dragon army, including a Bewilderbeast – a dragon that can control the actions of other dragons!

Although in most ways this is better than the original, I still believe it could have been better. The cast do an admirable job of creating the characters they play, though Baruchel seems a little too old to me, and the storyline plays on the relationships of the characters rather than just the linke between Hiccup and Toothless. Throw in some sad moments towards the end of the movie and you’ve got yourself a pretty decent kids flick.
