How to Train Your Dragon 2: a movie in a nutshell
First things first. Toothless got WAY more awesome. And Astrid was amazing--possibly the best girlfriend ever.
And the situation of restoring Hiccup's mother to them was handled with grace--a surprising amount of grace and lack of rude humor on their part. All in all, it was incredibly realistic from a human point of view. As with the first movie, they've done that very well.
Now, there were things in the movie that I wouldn't care to have to explain to a very young child. Young meaning about three. On the other hand, when they're three, they may not even notice it.
They certainly won't understand it, but if you're really lucky (because they notice everything) it just might slip by them. And hey, if you've already taken them to see Winter Soldier, this is ought to be a breeze. All they'll ask is why there wasn't more violence.
I don't think there was (hit per hit) more violence than in the first movie, it was just a different kind of violence. It seemed a little more ferocious to me, a little more...pronounced, perhaps.
By the time the credits began to roll, Hiccup had gained a lot; he had lost a lot. For all that I liked, there were things I would've done differently.
