Troll 2 Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Konterr Brilliant and touching
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
jlthornb51 Ten stars for Ms. Deborah Reed, who give the performance of a lifetime in this odd little horror film. Her work in this movie incorporates a subtle blend of horror, humor, pathos, and a burning sensuality. Some of her scenes are unforgettable but the popcorn scene certainly stands out as a profound expression of her talent and beauty. She brings depth and meaning to her character and sets the screen on fire whenever she appears. While Troll 2 is an unusually bad film, there is a very important reason that this is a motion picture not to be missed. That reason is Ms. Deborah Reed.
FritzTheFuckingCat Why does some people like "trash" movies? Generally, these films have a kind of adorable goofiness that makes them cult objects. Be "Plan 9 from Outer Space" or "The Room", you will find that movies like those are very entertaining despite their numerous flaws. Well, this isn't the case here. "Troll 2" has everything that makes a movie a "trash" exemplar - badly written plot and dialogue, nonsensical motivations, poor acting and bad editing. But if there's one thing that movie is completely devoid of, it is charm. Even when a character seems to be more or less funny, he will make something very distressing - like screaming for an entire fucking minute - and then you will hate him for that. The screenplay is based around pure convenience, there's no buildup or psychological construction (who need that shit, anyway?). Some scenes are cringeworthy, but not in a "funny" manner, just very bad ones, while others doesn't advance the plot in any way - but I think i'm being foolish here, as there's fucking nothing to advance. Well, let's talk about the acting now. Oh, fuck it, there's no acting here, just a bunch of people overreacting or not reacting at all about any stuff. Have you ever seen any mexican telenovela? Did you find the acting on it bad? Here it's worse, that's all you need to know. Not even the soundtrack is worthy a listen. Following what seems to be a trend among some "trash" classics, the songs doesn't have anything to do with the sequences they accompain. The veredict is that you will laugh here and there while watching this piece of crap, but most of the time you will wonder why this shit lasts so much if the duration is only something like 100 painful minutes.
An Artist This movie exceeded all my expectations, I have to words to describe the mastery that is Troll 2, every scene, character and detail is carefully thought out and executed, and the twist at the end, absolutely flawless, I hope to see a movie relating to this, this movie made me a better person.
MovieMaster94 This film is one of the strangest I've seen. Although clearly intended as a horror film, Troll 2 has retrospectively become a comedy due to its noticeably flaws. There are many causes of low quality in filmmaking, and failures in concepts, direction, acting, dialogue, and visual effects can each destroy a film. Troll 2 somehow seems to fail in every area of filmmaking. Firstly, the underlying plot line of vegetarian goblins luring tourists into a random agrarian community and then transforming them into plants for consumption is completely ludicrous. Secondly, the Italian production crew appears to have been morbidly inept; according to the cast, the director spoke little English, and yet refused to allow the actors to correct the glaring grammatical errors and oddly-worded phrases in the script. Thirdly, the majority of the actors in the film were inexperienced locals who had expected to be hired as extras, and the lack of talent is apparent on screen. In fact, the producers unhesitatingly cast a man who had escaped from a mental institution with a large drug cache. Finally, the visual effects are extremely sub-par, with the goblins portrayed as humans in laughably unrealistic rubber masks. As with other "so-bad-it's-good films" such as Tommy Wiseau's notorious 2003 film The Room, this movie is so irredeemably problematic that it is almost entertaining to watch.
