Story: 

 Five years after the Viking village of Berk has made peace with the dragons, dragons now live amongst the villagers as working animals and companions, and even take part in racing sport. Hiccup goes on adventures with his dragon, Toothless, as they discover and map unexplored lands and territories. Having come of age, he is being pressed by his father, Stoick the Vast, to succeed him as chieftain, although Hiccup remains unsure if he is ready for this responsibility.

While investigating a wildfire, Hiccup and Astrid discover the remains of a fort encased in a colossal ice formation and encounter a dragon trapper named Eret, who blames them for the destruction of his fort and attempts to capture their dragons for an insane conqueror called Drago Bludvist. The two riders return to Berk to warn Stoick about the dragon army that Drago is amassing, and Stoick orders the villagers to fortify the island and prepare for battle. Against Stoick's orders, Hiccup flies off with Astrid and they surrender themselves and their dragons to Eret so as to be taken to Drago in order to reason with him. However, Stoick, Gobber, and Berk's other dragon riders pursue and find them.

Stoick explains that he once met Drago and found him to be an unreasonable madman, but Hiccup refuses to believe that war is inevitable and flies off with Toothless. They are captured by a dragon rider named Valka, who is revealed to be Hiccup's long lost mother. She explains that she spent twenty years rescuing dragons from Drago's traps and bringing them to an island haven created out of ice by a colossal Alpha dragon called a Bewilderbeast, to whom all dragons answer. Stoick tracks Hiccup to the island where he discovers that his wife is still alive. Simultaneously, Astrid and the other riders kidnap Eret to find Drago, but they are also captured and Drago learns of Berk's dragons.

Drago and his army lay siege to Valka's sanctuary, where he reveals that he has his own Bewilderbeast to challenge the Alpha. A titanic battle ensues between the two Bewilderbeasts in a fight for control over all dragons on the island. Drago's Bewilderbeast emerges victorious and seizes control of all the dragons, including Toothless. Hiccup tries to persuade Drago to end the violence, but Drago orders him killed as well. Toothless, under the influence of the new Alpha, approaches Hiccup and fires a plasma blast. At the last instant, Stoick pushes Hiccup out of the way, and is hit instead, killing him instantly. Drago leaves Hiccup to his fate and, riding Toothless, leads his now larger army to destroy Berk. Stoick is given a ship burial and Hiccup, now filled with regret at the loss of his father, decides that he will fly back to Berk to defend his people and live up to his father's legacy.

The dragon riders ride baby dragons, which are immune to the Bewilderbeast's control, and arrive at Berk after the Alpha had already attacked the village and taken control of the dragons there. Hiccup confronts Drago and a brainwashed Toothless while the other riders work to distract the Bewilderbeast. Drago again orders Toothless to kill Hiccup, but Hiccup succeeds in disenchanting Toothless. Drago then orders the Alpha to shoot the pair, and the Bewilderbeast successfully encases them in a large blast of ice, seemingly killing them. His victory is short-lived, as Toothless, now glowing with plasma, blasts away the ice, revealing that both he and Hiccup are unharmed. Toothless challenges the Alpha and repeatedly fires plasma blasts at the Bewilderbeast. This frees the other dragons from the Bewilderbeast's control and all fire at it, severely injuring the colossal dragon until Toothless fires a final massive blast, breaking its left tusk.

Defeated, Drago and his Bewilderbeast retreat into the ocean as the villagers celebrate their victory. All the dragons acknowledge Toothless as the new Alpha dragon, and Hiccup is made chief of Berk by the village elder. The film ends with Berk being rebuilt with a statue of Stoick erected in his honor, and Hiccup doing his duties as chief, proudly declaring that while others may have armies and armadas, Berk has its own dragons.

After 4 years, this nice animation is back for the sequence~ the character has grow big and so are the dragons. The graphic and story are much more better than the first movie and apparently there are more characters involved as well. Feel kinda excited when i see the dragon king appeared but more shock and exciting to see night fury has got its special power~ Hope there will be a 3rd movie coming up soon~

I think this is a good film, motivating that ugly people do have the chance to get a perfect lover :) Well, Baruchel is not tat ugly basically, he has a nice ass, but maybe he's too skinny. And Alice Eve after being as Emma Frost in X Men Origins, has starting to get some hit on her career.

Like the scene where Kirk ask his friend to shave his balls. Lol, this is so funny and gayest thing for a straight guy to do~

Directed by Chris Sanders & Dean Deblois

Vocal by:
Jay Baruchel as Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
America Ferrera as Astrid Hofferson

Story:

In the Berk Island, Stoick the Vast, chief of the Viking is leading his villagers to fight against the dragon who came and attack; while his son, Hiccup is an apprentice and work for Gobber the Belch. During the war of Viking and dragons, Hiccup shot down a rare dragon called Night Furry with a bolas cannon that he made.

Skinny Hiccup has always wanted to become like others to catch dragon, so he went to look for the dragon he caught on the next day but he didn't kill the dragon and just set it free. When the dragon is free, it did not kill Hiccup but just flew away. Stoick appointed Gobber to train the youngster of how to attack different types of dragon. In the camp, Hiccup met up with Astrid whom he likes a lot, but too bad, she's a rough and tough girl and she has no interest in boy but killing dragon. Gobber mentioned that dragon will kill human whenever they have chance, this make Hiccup confuse of why the Night Furry did not kill him.

Hiccup went back to the valley and brought a fish for the dragon. By touching each other, Hiccup slowly bond a friendship with the dragon and name him as Toothless. Toothless is fun and taught Hiccup a lot of knowledge/habbit about dragon. Hiccup later use all the tactics he learned to tame all dragon during his training. Everyone praise Hiccup and he started to get popular. Astrid doubts about Hiccup sudden improvement and went to trace down Hiccup.

Astrid discover that Hiccup has been taking care of Toothless including making a fake tail for Toothless. Hiccup beg Astrid not to tell others and took her for a ride on Toothless. While flying, Toothless followed a gang of dragon and fly into a cave. Seems like every dragon caught a fish to feed a gigantic dragon or else they will be killed. On the next day of battling, Hiccup did not kill the dragon and announced to everyone about the truth. Stoick get dissapointed and lead the team to catch Toothless. The vikings also went all their way to the gigantic dragon nest to kill him.

Hiccup teached other kids how to tame the dragon and they went riding on the dragon's back to the dragon nest. In the meanwhile, Stoick and gang can't defeat the gigantic dragon and everything is in the mess. Finally the kids reach on top of the dragon and faught with the gigantic dragon. Hiccup free Toothless and both of them used their new tactics to kill the gigantic dragon. But they also falled from sky. While Stoick thought he lost his son, but Toothless protected him with wings. Hiccup lost one leg and replace with a wooden leg. Every Viking is fancy with dragon and live peacefully with them now.
