SCREECHING HERE'S A GIANT SPOILER TAG BECAUSE I SAW IT THURSDAY AND HERE'S ALL MY THOUGHTS ABOUT IT
also if u pick the lego movie over this u ARE INSANE and i say that affectionately
i fucking loved IT OMG, I'M NOT SURE IF I LIKE IT MORE THAN THE FIRST ONE BUT IT IS REALLY GOOD. THEY ARE BOTH REALLY GOOD. AND I HEARD THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE A TRILOGY? SO I'M EXPECTING ONE MORE HTTYD MOVIE IN THE FUTURE.
Anyway I really loved that they didn't make Astrid into some side character damsel because I had a fear that now that she and Hiccup are a couple she was going to be shoved off to the side ew. Fortunately she was still the boss and she had her own role in helping everyone which was GREAt she didn't follow him around the whole time she did her own thing. I'd have liked to see her become chief but yeah Hiccup had to honor his father and he was elected 5 years ago so you know
ANYWAY at first i cried because of how absolutely CUTE INSPIRING AND BEAUTIFUL THIS MOVIE ACTUALLY IS . I actually cried because I felt so HAPPY? Like when he meets his mother and they are flying around so FREE SPIRITED like ow my heart. And when Stoic and Vailka (sp) meet again I CRIED OMG IT WAS SO HEARTWARMING THEY DID NOT MAKE IT TOO CHEESY AT ALL IT WAS JUST PERFECT AND THEY WERE A FAMILY AGAIN AND THEN THEY JUST
RIP THAT ALL AWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN MOVIE. I totally did not think Stoic was ACTUALLY GOING TO DIE. I can't even begin to describe how much i cried when they shot arrows at the boat to send his soul away and the speech afterwards ... I literally fogged up my 3D glasses and my mAKEUP WAS GOING DOWN MY FACE I DID NOT EXPECT MY SOUL TO BE RIPPED AWAY FROM MY BODY
and then the bond between hiccup and toothless ;A; and when Hiccup was mad at first and told him to go away it totally broke my heart and then later when he tells toothless he's his best friend i FUCKING CRIED SOME MORE SERIOUSLY I H AVE NEVER CRIED SO MUCH DURING A DAMN MOVIE
dreamworks u outdid yourself honestly im not THAT big of a fan of dreamworks but my favorites are rotg and httyd and they've done really great things with httyd i expected this movie to be more funny and cute than sad and emotional but goD DAMN IT WAS A PERFECT BALANCE OF BOTH

Short post from my phone: I really loved this movie. My only disappointment was that the pacing felt kinda jumpy, because it seemed like there should be more of everything. I will never get tired of watching the dragons interact with everything. <3 Lots of excellence, especially in 3D.

The Lego Movie.
Please tell me you've finally seen it.
Also I get the feeling you didn't breathe at all while writing that post because of too much excitement and ALL CAPS.

I'm so freaking excited about this movie, I want to go and see it so bloody badly but no one will go and see it with me.
I WILL

I enjoyed the first one better. Maybe I'm getting worn out on the big, massive, gotta be more! sequels. The final battle in HTTYD was infinitely better than in HTTYD2.
There were some moments when I teared up, specifically
. And I'm glad they diminished the other "kids" screen time, even tho they still annoyed the crap out of me whenever they were there.
I felt like they felt they needed to have the dragons doing cute things in the background whenever people were talking to keep the attention of the younger audience tho, felt more forced than in the original.
I like the first better. It's not bad, but the flaws are alot more noticeable in 2, and I didn't enjoy watching it as much as 1.
edit: The soundtrack wasn't great either. That song during the first toothless/hiccup scene was horribly cheesy
How was Drogo controlling the alpha exactly? I could buy him controlling the others by simply asserting his dominance, but the alpha'd have to squint to even notice he was there. Drogo was weak in every aspect really, didnt enjoy him, his plan, or how he went about it.
Props for having toothless kill his dad, nice choice there.
I would have sworn the whole "we look after our own" thing was going to be a conflict since Hiccup was fighting against that the entire time, but I guess not.

I liked the movie. I'm not sure if I liked one or two better, though. Both were good, very enjoyable movies.
There is one big inconsistency with the cartoon series that bugs me - well, because such things do...

Stoic had another type of dragon he had befriended and was riding. It was a, or named, Thor something. What happened?

That's great and all, but its not in the movie.

I know I'm late to he party, but I've finally seen this movie! It was super cute, although there were a couple things I wasn't sure about.
I don't like that Hiccup's mom was there. I would totally be down with the idea of there being other dragon riders. His mom would have still been totally badass if she was just a random woman who lived with dragons rather than his mother. It just seems too coincidental. Hiccup learns to love and train dragons, and his mother learned to love and train dragons, completely seperate from each other?
It also doesn't help that she lost all of her momentum when Stoick showed up. She kind of became a damsel in distress after that. :/
But everything else was pretty cool. Astrid remained a badass, which is good. There were also lots of good feely moments between Hiccup and Toothless. I also actually thought the final fight against Drogo in Berk was pretty cool. Not sure if I like it better or the same or less than the final battle in the first movie. Both were enjoyable.
Oddly enough one of my favorite scenes was SStoik's funeral. I liked the imagery of Hiccup firing that first arrow. Just a really nice scene.

So I'm going to bump this thread, because it really doesn't warrant making another (maybe a mod can change this to the general Dreamworks Dragons thread?)
But for serious am I the only person on this entire forum who has been watching all of the seasons of Race to the Edge as they have been dropping on Netflix these past couple years? I really don't know why I've never posted about it before, but this show is genuinely far better than it has any right to be.
And now the trailer for season 6 just dropped and it looks pretty epic.
Contains spoilers for previous seasons watch at your own risk.
Sadly this is the final season. All that's left are the graphic novels that bridge the gap between HTTYD2 and HTTYD3 and then HTTYD3 itself.

TBH this show is right up your alley, X.
The only issue is that it does at times step on the toes of the second movie, and I'm a little worried the coming season will step a little more. This show could be truly great if it didn't have to worry about trying to squeeze into a story that was written with the intent that none of this happened.
Oh but I can't help but love it anyway. <3

I have so many shows I need to see. T__T
I need to get a better way to schedule watching things again, FGJ. I can handle Rebels because it's a weekly thing, but trying to piece out things that I CAN binge-watch has become difficult for me (I still haven't gotten into Troll Hunters, Little Witch Academia, Voltron's latest season, Altered Carbon, etc).
Will make an effort!
