Review- How to Train Your Dragon 2

How to Train Your Dragon 2 is the sequel to the much loved original that came out in 2010. The movie takes place five years  after the events of the first film. Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) and his dragon Toothless, just like the others in the village, have developed a special bond during those tranquil years. The peaceful times are threatened when Hiccup and Astrid (voiced by America Ferrera) discover a plot to capture all the dragons.  Our heroes' path in protecting the dragons will cross a mysterious Dragon Rider and menacing Drago (voiced by Djimon Hounsou), which are both connected to Hiccup's dad Stoick (voiced by Gerald Butler). How to Train Your Dragon 2 is an amazing film and even better than the first. The animation is breathtaking and the movie has a good mixture of humor and action to it. The movie's theme of protecting the ones you love against terrifying menace has similarities to The Dark Knight (but not as dark). I would definitely recommend this movie to everyone. If you do get an opportunity to see it in 3D, please do. It is well worth it.

Review-Godzilla(2014)

Godzilla(2014) is another telling of the classic character, described as "king of the monsters", that has appeared in films  since 1954. The particular film starts off with a nuclear accident in which the cause of it was never found out. Joe Brody(Bryan Cranston) makes it his crusade to find the truth of what really happen on that day. His son Ford(played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson) thinks that his dad, because of personal reasons, is chasing a fantasy. Ford soon finds out that his dad is right when the discovery of monsters starts to show up across the world.  Dr. Ishiro Serizawa(played by Ken Watanabe), a scientist whose been studying these activities, suggest the way the defeat these monsters is with a monster named Godzilla, who acts to restore balance and defend these ruthless creatures. Godzilla(2014) was a really good that will keep audiences connected from start to finish. The movie does a good job connecting the classic Toho films and ignoring the forgettable big screen attempt in the 1990's. The story is good but there are some small things in the movie that might make you scratch your head. Those moments are small and not enough to persuade your opinion of the movie in any way. The action stays on a even pace until Godzilla shows up. The last one third of the movie is amazing.
