The first "How to Train Your Dragon" is an entrepreneurial work. In those days, he immediately smashed his hands, and successfully captured the hearts of the market and the audience. The success of the first film brought twofold pressure to the second film. First of all, it is necessary to face the pressure brought by the exquisite previous works. The sequel is hard to beat the first Hollywood iron rule. After all, the success of art is hard to replicate. This is pressure on creation, followed by pressure on business. Appearance is the basic method for filmmakers to earn money, so the second part must be careful, as it is said that starting a business is easy to maintain. Under this cautious and stable earning mentality, it naturally brings about a defensive attitude. This defensive attitude seems to be a compromise choice. Without changing too much, it can win the market and keep The sign of "Dragon Master". Under the influence of creative decline and conservative mentality, "How to Train Your Dragon 2" lacks the aura of the predecessor, and adds more superficial warmth. Fortunately, most of the time, warmth is a harmless filler. But many times, this kind of superficial warmth drama and mediocrity are synonymous.
The changes in the narrative focus between the two dragons training masters are also very obvious. The narrative focus of the first part is dragon, while the narrative focus of the second part is people. The growth of the protagonist has become the core of the narrative, and the first part is the most attractive The human dragon completely became a supporting role in the second part, and became a flying pet dog, while the family reunion section of the protagonist's growth scene was abrupt and scribble, not well explored, and weak in drama. While the protagonist talks about ideals and peace for a long period of time, it is also easy to get bored. Together with the patterned villain with almost no sense of existence, the narrative of this film appears boring. Compared with the conception of the first part, there is a big gap. But in addition to this, "How to Train Your Dragon 2" maintains a high level of graphics and details. In terms of selling cuteness, it is better than the first one. However, the originally proud dragon clan, in the neglect of the narrative, It is completely reduced to a human pet. What I feel most regrettable is that in "How to Train Your Dragon 1", I can feel that the toothless boy is a person, but in the second part, the toothless boy has nothing. Personality was portrayed, and he became a pet completely.
In fact, "How to Train Your Dragon 2" is very good as a cinema film. Most of its problems are related to its predecessors. From an independent point of view, "How to Train Your Dragon 2" is a well-made, young and old Appropriate animation masterpieces, with intensive laughter, and cute and hard-selling. The special effects and 3D performance are unambiguous. Although the plot is modeled, there are no major problems. This is a slightly dull summer file. It is indeed a breath of fresh air. Under the iron law of Hollywood's sequel, it seems that it should be given enough tolerance. As a well-established work, "How to Train Your Dragon 2" is qualified. In this dull summer file, You really can't find any reason to reject it.
The Hollywood sequel Iron Law is a curse that is difficult to break. The first preconceived impression will always make people compare it with the previous one. This is an affirmation of the first one and also a kind of pressure on the sequel. It’s difficult to start a business. "How to Train Your Dragon 2" bears the pressure and hope. It inherits the excitement of the previous work and also leaves its own shortcomings. However, whether it is blame or praise, it is full of the audience’s heartfelt feelings about how to train the dragon. Love, this love comes from people's pursuit of freedom and yearning for all good things.
Chief, I also need a dragon.
