The film was officially released yesterday.
The highlight of "How to Train Your Dragon 2" is the free and smooth movement shots, flying, chasing, which are the things that Hollywood animation is best at. At the same time, the film also increases the sense of flying presence through some subjective shots of dragons, that is, to increase the audience's viewing pleasure. This is also my favorite place.
Overall, the sports scenes and combat parts of this film are very good. Including a few emotional moments that also touched me. That's why I gave this film a 7.
Of course, it is not excluded that the appetite of Chinese animation has recently been damaged. To digress, last week I said a few words on Weibo "Qin Shi Mingyue", and the result was once again sprayed by various sprays. A similar scene reminds me of when I said "Kuiba". Chinese animation is not easy, but it is always this state of unspeakable that is also quite scary. Especially in the theatrical version of "Qin Shi Mingyue", the details are inevitably too rough to see in the theater I am very anxious. Borrowing a comment from a friend, "Watching "Qin Shi Mingyue" on TV and computer is still acceptable, but when it is put on the big screen, its shortcomings have also been magnified." ”
Back to How to Train Your Dragon 2. I also watched some netizens' disappointment in "How to Train Your Dragon 2", most of which focused on the theme being too preachy, the plot being relatively old-fashioned, and there were not so many surprises and so on. Or rather, the biggest problem with this anime is that the setting is slightly lower, and many things are accepted by children, but adult audiences feel that some are too common. For example, its growth topics, sacrifices, responsibilities, equality, etc., are very straightforward and do not package them through more interesting details.
However, the real problem with the film is that the new role of mother is not done well. Although she was voiced by Kate Blanchett, the first time she took off her mask and opened her mouth to speak, my tears were about to come out (sorry, this is a personal reason and has nothing to do with the plot). Loved Kate, but really didn't like the character. This is a failed character, recall, her role in the film is very limited, even removing this role, can also push the plot very smoothly, that is to say, this role is not as meaningful as expected. At the same time, the character itself has a lot of bugs, there are no spoilers here, most of the people who have seen it can find the slot point.
For this role, the film has to take a lot of time to talk about her, but there are many places where everyone expects to be brilliant, such as Hiccup and a few partners, toothless boy and Hiccup's story, there is not much description, which is also a regrettable place.
"How to Train Your Dragon 2" is not so good, but it does have some bright spots, especially the flying scenes, which are really enjoyable. So in the end, I gave 7 points. Of course, it doesn't matter if you give a 6.
Finally, after learning that Gober is a friend, he also paid extra attention to this role, only to find that in the film, he really has lines to hint at this. If you are interested, you can look for it.
The rest, let's vote together.
