Should HTTYD2 have a thread of its own Or are we just keeping everything in here?

Should HTTYD2 have a thread of its own Or are we just keeping everything in here?

A mod can change the title of the thread.

 

[Lencho01]

Yeah, I saw just change the title since this thread is so small already.

‘How To Train Your Dragon 2′ Early Buzz: Solid Reviews For Animated Sequel

 

[terry78]

I kinda spoiled myself reading one the junior novels in the store earlier I will say if you earnestly want to know,

Spoiler

Stoick apparently dies trying to save Hiccup and his mother and Hiccup is made the new chief of Berk at the end, along with Toothless becoming the alpha dragon of the entire clan in existence,

if they're still going with that.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I can see that happening considering the clips I have seen. They have shown a duel that indicates that is very possible.

 

[Loki882]

It'd also set up some interesting possibilities for the third film.

I'm surprised the sequel doesn't have its own thread... well I just saw this movie and I liked it. I think if anyone was a fan of the first they should enjoy this one also.

A lot of what I enjoyed from the first movie is here again in this one. The character work and visuals. I saw this in 3D and it was really good, never saw the first one in theaters so I can't compare. Also they've added a lot more personality to Toothless with his reactions and behavior with Hiccup and some other dragon. Adds a lot of humor and I don't think they go overboard.

As for Hiccup, he annoyed me a bit at first but its part of his character growth in this movie. He has to learn that there are some things you can't reason away.

As for any negatives I might have is that I felt this movie could used an extra 15 minutes or so. Its about the same length as the first one but they are juggling a lot more plot this time and some of it just doesn't flow as well. The first one was paced quite well while this could benefit from a longer runtime.

Just heard the OST to How to Train your Dragon 2. It's so beautiful, it physically hurts. In a very long time I haven't heard a score that epic, poignant and beautiful as this one. The fact that his score for the 1st movie, lost an oscar to The Social Network is a crime against humanity.

This is honest to god my most anticipated movie this summer. Can't wait!

Director Dean DeBlois Talks ‘How To Train Your Dragon 3′ Ending; Fourth Film Now Rumored

 

[terry78]

That would be a pretty tearjerking way to end the series if he goes that route.

Why Didn't 'How To Train Your Dragon 2' Fly Higher?



I haven't been able to check it out yet, but I will this weekend.

 

[GremlinZilla89]

Why isn't this making more money? Why aren't more people talking about it? It's a damn fantastic film, even better than the first and one of the best sequels ever made.

 

[TheVileOne]

This is a weak summer overall for box office. Even the new Godzilla movie sold less tickets than GINO.

Also, anyone notice DWA films haven't done as well with 20th Century Fox?

Also it came out against 21 Jump Street.

 

[Quasimod0]

I just recently finally got around to seeing the first one. I really enjoyed it.
Definitely gonna catch this one when it hits DVD.

Saw the new movie the other day and thought it was pretty dang good. Amazing use of 3D too, some of the best I've seen.

Admittedly the only thing I can't bring myself to like is Jay Baruchel as Hiccup. Can't stand his voice, it's just so annoying. Wish they'd casted almost anyone else. The continued cat-like characterization of Toothless was great too and had some hilarious moments (like him catching his tongue on ice).

I think I saw like one trailer for this movie the week it came out and nothing since, so maybe it's a marketing fail?

 

[Lencho01]

Saw it earlier today. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch it 3D. I liked it a lot. I spoiled myself with Stoick with this and upon reading more about where the story will go makes me sad.

I do wonder if they'll make Hiccup huge as the older men tend to be in these films.

 

[sueb1863]

I can't see Hiccup ever being as huge as the rest of the viking men. He'll probably always have a slight build in comparison.

Contrary to Popular Belief, Hiccup and Toothless Have Not Killed DreamWorks

Did anyone think that? The movie is clearly underperforming though.
