Didn’t see the first one; my family seems to hate it so much they’ve all but banned it from playing on their tv screen.
I might get on board with this one if the kid penguin’s voice wasn’t so obnoxiously cutesy and high-pitched. I don’t think I could take listening to that for 90 minutes. Reminds me of that kid from Rock-a-Doodle.
I ended up seeing it and, IMO, it was better than the first.
It did’nt shove so much enviormental stuff in your face as the first one. Pink did a good job with Gloria’s voice, and I absolutely LOVED Hank Azaria as the puffin, Sven.
Music was GREAT! The cover of Under Pressure done by Pink was AMAZING. It gives me goose bumps each time I listen to it.
The ONLY thing I hated about it was [spoil]when Erik found is voice. It was a chipmunked version of the singer’s voice…Im NOT kidding. It would have had more meaning if it was’nt messed with and had a real voice sing opera…yes…Erik’s voice tallent is opera…[/spoil]
Other than that, the plot was a bit stale and felt like a tv episode if it has a series on TV.
But the music kept me going. There was’nt any real current music in it.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Zeonah! However, I think i’ll wait for this to come out on DVD rather than going to see it, as there’s other films I’m planning to see and spend my money on in the next few weeks-The Muppets, Sherlock Holmes 2, Puss In Boots, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, War Horse and so on.
I like it when they give a sequel or prequel a different name all together. Like, I hope DW name the HTTYD sequel after one of the book titles, like How To Speak Dragonese, rather than just lumping “2” on the end of the title.
I dont think so.
While it was a good way to kill a few hours, it’s something I wont watch all the way thru again. If I do watch it again, it would be all the Sven parts, Gloria singing Bridge of Light, and the ending.
I did’nt have a huge interest in it, but I wanted to take a special needs friend of mine to see a movie and that was the one she choose.
