Four years ago Dreamworks Animation surprised a great deal of people: How to Train Your Dragon was a very good movie which didn’t rely on pointless popculture jokes. A feat even more impressive when one considers that in the same year Shrek Forever After was released. Now we get a sequel to the beloved original and like many sequels the scope gets bigger while the characters suffer under this weight.
Eventually one is left with the feeling that How to Train Your Dragon is more or less ok which is disappointing after the high expectations for this sequel.
