I really liked the first one but everything they've released about this one makes it seem kinda so-so. I wish they had gone for a different voice for the older Hiccup, then again everyone but him looks exactly the same so maybe it just seems like he's older in this movie.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Oh my god this looks amazing and beautiful

I need it

 

[Zeppeli]

I haven't watched a CGI movie in ages but that looks beautiful. Amazing that less than 20 years ago, CGI for these types of movies at an incredibly high budget looked like this:

 

[Tecl0n]

Into my veins, please.

 

[Sorian]

If you want to see this on a big screen, they play it before Rio 2 (Rio 2 really sucked though so may not be worth it for you). I liked it, I don't think it'll live up to the charm of the first one but I think they will do a good job of hitting the same right notes.

 

[everyday math]

Ohhhhhh in my veins. So pretty.

 

[brandonh83]

Not watching, but I can't wait to hear the score and see the film.

 

[Jangaroo]

Is that a new Sigur Ros song that they were playing in that scene?

 

[VanWinkle]

Looks incredible.

 

[antonz]

'Looked incredible and I can imagine it will be another must see in 3D movie

 

[Shadow2222]

Looks so good. Can't wait! The first is easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

 

[faridmon]

Looks so good. Can't wait! The first is easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

Yeah, the first one was incredible. I am really excited for this one!

 

[petethepanda]

The very opening of the first was the only bad thing about the movie so I'll probably hold off on this in case it's the same.

 

[Shaanyboi]

I'm kinda seeing this solely on how good the first one was. One of the best animated movies ever. The marketing hasn't done a good job of making me excited for this one.

 

[PirateKing]

I knew who the first poster was before I even clicked on this thread.
Cool video. Dragons are awesome.

 

[Messofanego]

Is that a new Sigur Ros song that they were playing in that scene?

Glad to know I wasn't the only one thinking this.

 

[brandonh83]

Yeah, the first one was incredible. I am really excited for this one!

I liked it way more than Toy Story 3, which didn't work for me that much personally. It was really good but I wasn't like crying a hole through my heart like everyone else did.

 

[statham]

the ending makes it seem like a epic movie. I'm in.

his voice is so annoying, it's blackboard & fingernails

[Shamrock7r]

First movie was suprisingly very very good. Looking forward to this, particularly the soundtrack.

 

[bigfunkychiken]

Glad to know I wasn't the only one thinking this.

I make three.

 

[Mr. Bamboo]

I'm weak T_T. But wow, could this possibly be as good as the first? I'm more confident about it now.

Also, I'm very excited to hear more of John Powell's music .

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

I knew who the first poster was before I even clicked on this thread.
Cool video. Dragons are awesome.

 

[HUELEN10]

It looks nice, but I honestly don't get the appeal for this, or its predecessor. I mean, it looks solid, but nothing special. Now Home, that I wanna see; that looks like a great book re-imagining.

 

[Parch]

That was great. I love this franchise.
So many good animated movies but the first one was my favorite. Dragon 2 is a must see.

your image is broken

 

[Symphonic]

Is that a new Sigur Ros song that they were playing in that scene?

Just Jonsi. He's doing

Spoiler

3 songs

for the film and also apparently worked with Powell.

I am invested more into this movie's score than the entirety of my college education.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Wow, very nice. Need to watch the first movie again.

 

[The Adder]

Oh my god this looks amazing and beautiful

I need it

So has your screen name been satisfactorily answered?

 

[Lijik]

Movie looks gorgeous but layering a "regular" song over a scene like they do with hiccup/toothless' intro feels tonally off for this series

Just Jonsi. He's doing

3 songs

for the film and also apparently worked with Powell.

Interesting! I liked the end credits song for the last movie, I hope the other songs are better integrated

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Not feeling it. I didn't like the original either, though.

Ugh at the voice.

 

[Livingskeletons]

Not watching, the first is one of my favorite animated films.

Like others have been saying, I hope Powell delivers.

 

[captainraincoat]

My son is so hyped for this movie

 

[shortyme]

I'm so excited for this movie!!!

 

[Symphonic]

Small preview of some new themes with Toothless and Hiccuup looking at the map and when the logo shows. Too early to say but there's promise. Sound very adventure/unknown lands-ish.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

So has your screen name been satisfactorily answered?

No, because I don't actually HAVE the dragons, seeing as how the movie isn't out yet.

Soon.

 

[Messofanego]

Nice!

 

[glaringradio]

Ohhhhh that shot where Hiccup and Toothless fly under the water dragon's wing was so fucking pretty alongside that music.

Can't wait.

 

[Messofanego]

Oh yeah, might have to see this in 3D because the first one's flight scenes were the best 3D stuff.

 

[Blood Red Sky]

Really looking forward to this - the first one was adorable.

 

[Prototype]

my gf and I loved the first one, very happy they are making another.

 

[LanceVance]

fuck yeah I fucking love dragons

 

[Kid Ska]

Never really understood the love for the first one, but I'd be lying if I said that wasn't some fine CG they've got going there.

 

[DonMigs85]

I guess you really need to have watched the TV series to know all the story details

 

[SteveMeister]

I guess you really need to have watched the TV series to know all the story details

Not really. The TV show takes place immediately after the first film. This one takes place 5 years after the first movie and doesn't appear to share any plot points with the series.

It'll be interesting if (minor show spoilers)

Spoiler

Alvin or Dagur show up in the new movie.

In a recent interview Jay Baruchel mentioned that a third season is planned and that events in it will in some way lead up to the third movie, so I don't know if that means season 3 will have the riders as teens or young adults.

 

[neorej]

HTTYD is one of those movies I never get tired of. My daughter is crazy about it too, so I'll definitely see this too.

 

[Wafflecakes]

I am so hyped!

 

[Night Hunter]

I saw the first one without knowing anything about it and it blew me away. Now I'm just sad that because of my higher expectations I won't feel the same thing again.

 

[JzeroT1437]

To be fair, the marketing for the first one was shit too. As a person who works in advertising, marketeers are kind of morons.
