Five years have passed since Hiccup and Toothless united the dragons and Vikings of Berk. Now, they spend their time charting the island's unmapped territories. During one of their adventures, the pair discover a secret cave that houses hundreds of wild dragons -- and a mysterious dragon rider who turns out to be Hiccup's long-lost mother, Valka (Cate Blanchett). Hiccup and Toothless then find themselves at the center of a battle to protect Berk from a power-hungry warrior named Drago.

The characters in this movie are charmers. They've got me so well-trained, I'm even looking forward to HTTYD3.

It has a richness that's highly compelling, especially in the way it explores the complex relationship between man and beast.

Independent (UK)

The filmmakers borrow freely from Avatar, Sword In The Stone and even Brave but they bring enough vigour and imagination to their storytelling to get away with it.

Rated: 4/5

Boasting beautiful animation, a great script, wonderful voice talent, and one of the year’s best musical scores, this earns its dragon’s wings buy not only improving on its predecessor, but it makes the first film even better.

Deep Focus Review

Being at once a self-contained story and a continuation of a franchise that betters and grows more intricate than what came before, the film meets all the requirements of a great sequel.

Rated: 3.5/4

Richard Crouse

High on spectacle and never wastes an opportunity to entertain the eye and up the wonder factor, but it's not just shock and awe. An emotional subplot regarding family adds some weight to the fantasy elements of the story.

Rated: 4/5

I really loved the first movie - there were so many memorable parts! It felt like this one took a bit to warm up to things, and the sense of awe and cuteness didn't quite hit me as much as in the first movie. But still lovable and entertaining!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Such a great sequel to the great movie! Stoick’s death was a sad tragedy. I like Eret son of Eret’s redemption scene! Love the mother and son reunion story! Drago Bludvist was an intense villain!
