A hugely satisfying sequel to the original that is prepared to develop the characters and the world created rather than simply maintain the status quo and for that it should be applauded. The themes and plot developments may be familiar to older audience members, but amidst all the spectacle, it is the focus on the two central characters of Hiccup and Toothless that elevate the film. Their relationship is the key and provide the warmth, humour and emotional backbone to the story, especially in one key moment that the filmmakers do not shy away from. The flying sequences are still stunning and this is a rare example of 3D enhancing the film itself.
