Notes

My quick rating - 6,1/10. All I can think of is the excellent Troll Hunter when I saw this Netflix film available so of course I am going to watch it! The fascination with Trolls in Norway and throughout their mythology is quite interesting. This appears to be a big-budget take on what happens when you screw around with mother nature too much and piss off the mountain trolls that live within. They have all bared witness to a 150-foot-tall walking rock with a face destroying shit all over the landscape YET still won't believe it is a troll LOL. Keep in mind, that is an hour in and we have seen it quite a few times before then. And the good news is, the thing looks very well designed so kudos to the effects department on this one. I am sure they aren't working with Hollywood-type money but so far it all looks just fine to me. The story is a mix between the folklore of the trolls existence and the world being obsessed with expansion at the cost of mother nature. This time while drilling in a mountainous region for corporate purposes, the crew accidentally awakens a giant troll that has been living undetected for years. The troll is definitely the star of the show here so if you have been missing the giant monsters lately, this one will fit the bill. Unfortunately all the human characters were all so cliche. I know there has to be some leeway given for the dubbing but that doesn't change the writing. There was a developing story of what the Troll was trying to accomplish when heading towards Oslo and I think if the writers took more inspiration from the previously mentioned film instead of emulating the 1998 Godzilla they would've really been onto something. Instead they took the easy way out and just went for the focus on action and showing off the troll and ditched the story. Still, I would recommend watching for the entertainment value but it may fall into the same category of a guilty pleasure since for the story and characters it is sorely lacking.
