Review of How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) by Daniel L — 11 Mar 2015
Really, this was the movie people wanted to win best animated feature?
I watched the first movie 2 years ago and it was pretty forgettable, nothing bad but nothing great. But considering the amount of people praising the shot out of this movie I got to say that I was really disappointed. To be honest this movie wasn't very good. Honestly I think that it's one of the most overrated movies ever made. I'm not saying that this movie is awful, there's so good qualities but there's also bad ones. The movies animation is great, it's smooth, and great to look at. The parts with the dragons is great. The score is also pretty good, I didn't think it was amazing but solid nonetheless. However that's where my compliments end. My biggest problem with the movie is the characters, I didn't give a shit about any of them. The voice acting wasn't convincing either. That very fact is the movies downfall because it tries to make you care about the characters so badly and I just couldn't. Even with the action and animation, I found the movie to be quite boring. One thing that was also poor about the movie was its villain, the villain was so undeveloped that I didn't find him a threat at all. In all I didn't like this movie, to be honest the movie is really forgettable, the movie isn't horrible but I can't get behind the acclaim that the movie gets. I'll give it a 5/10.
