And this week's Friday night movie has been.....How to Train Your Dragon 2!
So how do you deliver a sequel? Well you take that which is already established and present it in a new light while simultaneously take into unexplored territory. And to this end How to Train Your Dragon 2 succeeds with flying colours.
There's not much i can add to that statement: the animation is better, the stakes are higher, Hiccups' journey continues with some interesting developments, the flying sequences are astonishing, Toothless is still a delight, there's a welcome subtext of a handicapped character doing awesome feats, there's lots of laughs, moments of a kick to the guts variety and Valka is an interesting character, helped by the voice talents of the ever-wonderful Cate Blanchett
Also pleasing is the presence of Kit Harrington, who sounds like he's relishing the chance to not play a mopey git.
