Go see this movie! That’s all I have to say, go see this movie!

I loved the first How to Train Your Dragon, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892769/?ref_=nv_sr_2, about a boy viking who is being brought up to hunt and kill dragons and discovers there may be more to them than he realized and forms a bond that cannot be broken with a night fury dragon he names Toothless.

In the first movie, which came out in 2010, Hiccup, our main character and hero was about ten, I believe and in this movie, he is twenty. Isn’t it amazing how fast kids grow up! [And I just took a peek and the next movie is coming out in 2016! You bet I’ll be there and adding it to the collection, like this one!

This story is about responsibility, family, love, understanding, forgiveness and courage. The courage to stand up to those who will hunt you and take you down, courage to stand up for what you believe in, courage to face even your family for what you know is right.

There is love, unconditional love, long lost relations, family, a major heartbreaking loss, the realization that you are stronger than you realize and we really are made up of both of our parents, we get both good and bad from them equally. I can’t tell you how difficult it is not to tell you everything, but there would be too many spoiler alerts! Did you know that in the dragon world, there is hierarchy, just like in almost any society; an alpha and all stem from them and must pay heed to them and do their bidding. Which can be both good and bad…

Lastly, there are dragons, I mean a lot of dragons, all shapes, sizes and colors and baby dragons, it turns out, are just like any other kid, they don’t listen to anyone.  But, everyone’s favorite dragon is there front and center, Toothless. Toothless is a great friend and companion and protector for Hiccup and Hiccup is nothing but fierce about Toothless. And just when you think the  movie can’t get any better…Toothless finds his footing, does what he does best in protecting his best friend and discovers something inside him that no one knew was there. Especially Toothless!

Everyone has to find their own way, make their own path in this world and it’s interesting to watch the journey that Hiccup goes through to find out what everyone else could see in him already.
