While Troll 1 was awkward but still perfectly fine for a lazy taco Friday (in Norway we have a long tradition of mediocre Friday tacos), Troll 2 is simply unpleasant, even more awkward, and the casting is at absolute rock bottom. "The failure is complete," as someone once said.
Instead of replacing the weakest actors from Troll 1, they've added even more amateur revue performers. The lead actress is fine, but she couldn't save this monster even if she wrote the script herself.
And the script... it's just awful, completely uneven and directionless.
Troll 1 was so silly it almost felt intentional. Troll 2, on the other hand, feels like a school project trying to make a 90s disaster movie (on a good day, a very good day). It has none of the humour or self-awareness.
By the time the credits roll, our mythology has been rented out by the hour and left to walk home alone.
The only redeeming quality is the beautiful scenery from Jotunheimen and Trondheim.

The show has been a good nostalgic trip back to the '80s. The quality has been mixed but mostly solid, even though some seasons are hard to tell apart. There's a lot of repetition here, and the kids are really starting to look like adults.
The '80s were wonderful in many ways. But toward the end, we were getting tired of it. The '90s arrived as a real breath of fresh air back then, both in pop culture and in other areas.
Series and films got darker and deeper, and everything wasn't just pastel and glamour-same with the music.
The same can be said about Stranger Things. Season 5 looks like another repeat with the same formula and a fairly banal storyline. Good quality and a nice look back, sure, but now we're looking forward to New Year's-and to wrapping up yet another round of celebrating the '80s.
Four seasons with an open ending would have been more than enough and that's me being kind. Give us something new, what about Twin peeks meets x files?

This movie is great but it's not finished - they missed the ending. Yes, endings are difficult- but that's not an argument for skipping them.
Hence no rating for an unfinished movie - but keep up the good work.
It's not even an open ending - such an appointment - but I get the message. But a like a whole movie kind of messages.even with open ending.
