Trollhunter
Awesome. The special effects were used sparingly, but nicely integrated into the scenes when they did appear. This is saying something too, as the panoramic scenes through Norway are simply beautiful. The camera work was actually very tolerable... perhaps the first-ever "found footage" type of film to not lapse in that regard. Otto Jespersen pretty much steals the show as the titular troll hunter.
My gripe? A little too much time was spent simply driving around. I would have preferred to hear more about the underlying biological reasons for trolls to exist. We're given some pretty interesting insight into them as is, but more would have been better given the scenario.
I'd recommend watching the film before Hollywood remakes it for an American audience, dumbing-down and destroying everything good in the process.
I liked it too, but I was similarly disappointed about the lack of information ABOUT trolls. I also didn't really understand why they went from troll to troll. But it was pretty awesome--the three-headed troll was the best one, IMO.
I just watched this one, and it was better than expected (especially since that was my 4th time trying to watch it), but I just had one question that was answered and then re-emerged at the end of the film again.
Where does the 200ft Troll sleep to avoid the sun? Where does the majority of Trolls sleep to avoid the sun? The adult ones are the size of trees, and even though the forest provides alot of cover, sunlight still gets through.
But overall, much better than expected. I was thinking about going back an MFT-ing the movie, but really the worst I could do is show off the trolls... unless I make fun of the cave scene (which was hilarious BTW)
a proper fart joke is always funny. And that troll fart was soooo bad and sooo long that not only could you sense how bad it was from the look on their faces, but you could see the fog/smoke as it passed by that little camera. I'm lmao just thinking about it. But really, there was nothing wrong with the movie to really make fun of it, other than the Troll Hunter guy sounding like a Native American in the English Dubbing.
I give it a 3.7/5
