This is just brief thoughts on TROLL 2.
Its going to be brief because I’m still looking for the plot.
The film is a continuation of the first film, with the same characters and with the government trying to figure out what to do about trolls. This has some connection to the Second World War where the Telemark raid to stop the creation of a German atomic bomb really had something to do with a sleeping troll that was being studied. The troll gets loose and there are more trolls, and I don’t know. I really don’t. I mean I understand everything once the troll gets loose, but the whole first hour is a big question mark.
Is it bad? Not really (it gets dark and the Star Trek/Iron Giant reference killed me), but its a huge step down from the first film. Frankly if this was the first film there would never have been a second. I would love another, better film.
Worth a look on a slow night.
