They even openly make a joke about it being a sequel in the trailer....

So did the first one, and it was fantastic.

My local Cinemark is putting this in the XD theater over HTTYD2. I weep for the species.

Your Cinemark doesn't like money I guess.

Saw it last night. It was really funny, me and all my friends were laughing the whole movie. They made fun of the fact it's a sequel the whole time. Jonah and Channing are a great comedy combo.

If you liked the last one then you'll like this one too.

Saw it last night; thought it was funnier than the first, which is rare as hell.

This was surprisingly funny, on par if not better than the first, which was great. All the meta stuff was quite clever.

Why is that shocking? The first one was fantastic and previews for the second looked good as well.

It bottles my mind that How to Train Your Dragon 2 has a $145 million budget.

These CGI don't draw themselves! Looking at some other CGI movies, Rio 2: $100 million, Mr Peabody and Sherman: $145 million, Frozen: $150 million.

Clearly they don't draw themselves but there's little reason these movies should be costing as much as normal films. Seems like poor resource management.

They get big name talent to voice characters. They shouldn't, but they do. That's probably 30% of their budget right there.

A very significant portion of the budget of 'normal' movies of the blockbuster is taken by digital special effects. A CGI movie is digital special effects from the first frame to the last. It takes a lot of artists and animators and a lot of time on render farms, which is also very costly.
