As far as sequels go, this one is about average.
It lacks the style and substance of the first and substitutes any attempt to go with legend and/or myth, with fluff and "cuteness," giving it a much softer (non-existent) edge.
The performances were also lacking, dangling there somewhere below the original, but not so low as to be considered within the land of the putrid.
Draco is dead. LONG LIVE DRACO! but there is a new Dragon to take his place. He's a baby Dragon. (Awe! Ain't he cute?! NO!) He has to learn everything, and there is a Chinese soothsayer who is there specifically to teach him. But he's also there to kill him.
Confused? That's OK. It's a very easy plot to follow, so it will spin itself well in a nice, even, straight line for you. No twists, no surprises, just...exactly what you expect.
The effects are a bit better, but the stars are gone, and so this project was left with little talent, and less hope. I own it, just because I got this thing about collecting all the parts of something. There are few I don't have all the parts to (like Exorcist. don't' have 2, don't want it, etc.)
All in all, I can't give this more than a 5.3/10, and realistically, I'm being generous.
