I saw this movie yesterday with my dad. Enjoyed it -- didn't think it was as good as the first, but that it stood up okay, anyway. The dragon designs were phenomenal, and seeing so much of the gorgeous concept art in the credits sequence made me want to go out and get the art book right away. I DID get the soundtrack as soon as I left the theater.

Agreeing with the others who think the theme got somewhat confused and that the ending didn't have exactly what I wanted to get from the movie. The whole thing felt a little like it wasn't sure what message it was trying to sell.

Someone earlier in the thread asked why Toothless could be broken from the Alpha Dragon's will the second time, but not the first.

I actually thought this made sense -- in the first instance, Hiccup was in the midst of a panic, not sure of what to do in the face of his best friend's betrayal and his failure to convince Drago to stop the war. In the second instance, he approached Toothless from a place of confidence, believing wholeheartedly that his friendship will surmount the Alpha Dragon's influence.

Goes along with one of the touched-on themes of the movie, anyway. v:shobon:v

I finally got a chance to see it! I've sifted through the spoilers and didn't see anyone mention how incredible the score was. I'm head over heels in love with it. :swoon:

A lot of us mentioned that!

Yes, it's beautiful music. :allears: I love it so much.
