Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans

I watched all TV series before that and adored them all. Maybe my disappointment is partially because of my high expectations. However, if I'd describe the movie with 1 word, I'd say bland.

The animations are great but the story and writing are horrible. Scenes, events and emotions are all forced and usually feel unnatural.

And the ending didn't make any sense. It not only ruined this movie, but ruined the entire saga and all shows.

I am very disappointed. In terms of production value it's on par of the entire saga, however, you can't help but notice that entire movie is just sequence of rushed arcs.

What's more, the pacing itself doesn't give you time to even get the feel of the events that unfold that are supposed to have heavy emotional impact - and why is that downer? Because they are all around the character all of us either grown to love or hate.

*The way they handled is like you wipe a stain from the table as an after thought. It simply isn't given it's own time window to develop and have a desired impact

The story itself is mediocre and the way it is trying to conclude and tie the entire saga is clumsy attempt at the best. Not that there weren't some neat moments and things... but

But the problem is, and I believe I am not only one, through the entire movie due to everything moving in a blur, I was emotionally distant and at certain points very bored.

And to add to all of what I mentioned, they have introduced new concepts that would be meaningful if they were developed over the course of sequels rather than just hack them into less than 2 hours movie track.

The ace though,, is the ending. If I already found so much to dislike before I even got to the ending (for which I hoped it would conclude in satisfactory way saga), it didn't fail to disappoint me how much worse the movie can get.

All in all, this is what we get and there is no way around it, alas I am under the strong impression that this movie doesn't do the justice to the saga and came out as rushed mixed bag of unfinished concepts and makeshift ending.

I fell in LOVE with Trollhunters the moment I first saw it. I enjoyed 3 Below, not as much, but still.

And though it was rushed, really loved Wizards.

When I found out they would be bringing all of these wonderful worlds together, I was ecstatic!

Unfortunately... stunning visuals, loveable characters (voiced by talented actors) and years of loyalty, couldn't help this movie. Without spoiling it, I will say (in my opinion), the characters felt like a side bar to an otherwise oddly irrelevant, misplaced story. The odd pacing and weirdly underwhelming dialog made things worse.

Then... there is... the ending... ooooh, that ending. It made me feel let down as a fan of the franchise, like everything I knew and loved about it was irrelevant.

I know this was intended to wrap up the Arcadia series but for the sake of its former glory, I hope they take some time to fix this mistake.

The ending was absolutely trash! They have completely thrown 4 years of great series in the bin, I wish I could use the time stone to go back in time and make it so I never watch this movie! I want to forget about this film entirely! Though the other seasons were fantastic!

Rushed but still loving it except for the awful ending when it was giving hint that everything happened in the past were changed/rebooted, giving me an interpretation of wasting time of watching it since the beginning. Just skip the ending.
