How To Train Your Dragon 2

FlawedCoil82 · 06-26-2014, 06:21 PM

I am so surprised and disappointed at how little the American public is responding to this movie. After the huge success the first one was. I would have gladly bet every last dollar to my name that this sequel would have been one of the biggest blockbusters of the year (and apparently now I'd be dead ass broke and still in utter shock). But people just don't care about this movie. If it was done by Pixar or Disney, it'd be putting up huge numbers. Why are people not into this film? The only thing I have to guess is that the tv series has killed excitement for the second movie because it gave people more than enough Toothless in between the films to where people are almost sick of him and Hiccup. If that is the case, I would rather see them stop making the tv series so that people will feel a need to go out and see HTTYD 3 whenever it releases.

I saw HTTYD 2 and it was a good movie, but not as good as the first movie. The only reason I say it is not as good is bc the movie focused too much on

Spoiler:

Also I feel like they could have had a huge public aw and shock factor with the mom if the trailers did not already reveal her.

Oh and last time I checked, the critics on Rotten Tomatoes is actually giving this sequel higher praise and ratings than the first movie!!!

I have no idea why people don't care....cause it was an awesome movie!

also...I loved the tv series...it only made me more pumped for the movie XD I can't wait for season 3!!

Yeah, I was really annoyed that the trailers didn't even try to hide Hiccup's mom or that Stoick would reunite with her. At least the trailers for Kung-Fu Panda 2 kept the focus on the comedy and action without revealing anything about Po's past.

But anyway, I've seen the movie twice already and this might be me coming from not seeing many movies this summer, this'll probably be the best one for me so far.

Spoiler:

I thought they did that in the cartoon???? Also I wonder what will happen in the cartoon now that they don't have you know who anymore

DarkLightDragon · 06-28-2014, 01:03 PM

Ah, forgive me. I didn't really watch much of the cartoon on CN so I tend to forget it existed.

But is it false to assume that the cartoon takes place between the 1st and 2nd?

Is it for real bombing? That's disappointing if true.

*snake* · 06-28-2014, 03:46 PM

I saw it at a drive in. It was pretty good. It felt disjointed though, I liked the dragons, but they were treated like plot devices instead of characters. The first one was better in my opinion.

It was definitely not as successful as the first one.

Not only is there a third movie coming out there is also a new season to their cartoon coming out... but from what I heard it is going to be a Netfllix Exclusive so not many people will really pay attention to it... sadly...

Yea I think that's bull crap too!

I don't have Netflix, so I won't be able to see it. Do Netflix shows ever get released on dvd?

This film is already gone from the theaters around here. I am absolutely blown out of my mind at how poorly America supported this film. I was certain it was going to be one of the biggest films of the year. If I worked for Dreamworks I'd be utterly disgusted right now with the American movie going public because I know they also expected a far better turn out for this film. If the "holy" name of Disney or Pixar was in the title of this film, families would have flocked to the theaters. It makes zero sense how the first film could do so great, and then it's sequel draws so little interest from the same people who claimed to love the first one.

You need to relax. The movie isn't even doing terribly, just not as well as expected.

I think the problem is it was released at the wrong time. We had a strong group of movies released this year. X-men

ays of Future past, Amazing Spider-man 2, 22 Jump Street, Godzilla, Neighbors. All were released this year and we just got done with June. I feel like if they released this movie in July they would have been a bigger success.
Also revealing the big surprise via trailer kind of took the wind out of the excitement, bc everyone knew what was going to happen.

*snake* · 07-03-2014, 03:57 PM

I'd say it did okay at the box office. It's not as big as Frozen or anything like that, but it did well.

Spoiler: I cried during Stoick's funeral, but considering how they made it point that Hiccup was going to be chief early on in the film, it didn't (and shouldn't) come as a surprise to see him get killed off so he would have to forcibly step up to this incredible responsibility. And since they implied that Night Furys are believed to be extinct, I can't help but feel that's going to be the plot for the next one where they do come across a secret haven for Night Furys.
