The 1st one was boring except when the Dragon was revealed. Hated Hiccup and his corny C&C jokes. But this new one is my surprise movie of the year so far. Hiccup is still a corny, peg leg lame nigguh. But it's a lot action in this joint. A real good villian who ain't playing games with these environmentalist dragon lovers. The visuals clearly swagger jacking Avatar but it was still dope none the less. Love all the different type of dragons. And without having putting on the spoiler tags, let's just say some of the masks of the humans was banging. The kids I took hated all the kising part but hey they're kids. But overall this was visually stunning. Story even had a little Godzilla in it. To me, the 1st one focused in too much on Hiccup. And though he's the star on the 2nd one they at least share the lime light.
