Una película de fantasía noruega para niños de ocho años. Más soldados, tanques y helicópteros que el troll. En el modelo de Hollywood con todos los clichés típicos. La previsibilidad y el intento de momentos geniales son incluso vergonzosos. Pero el troll se ve genial y la naturaleza noruega es hermosa y evocadora. Y en ella es incluso divertido. Solo deja de funcionar en la segunda mitad, cuando algunos personajes quieren bombardear al troll y otras realmente no saben lo que quieren, pero se supone que deben tener una relación más cercana con él. Un derivado sin sentido del tema de King Kong.

Mientras que Troll Hunter de Øvredal abordó una mitología similar con inventiva, imaginación y humor, aquí los cineastas solo siguieron el camino trillado de las típicas películas cliché sobre monstruos gigantes al estilo King Kong, y al mismo tiempo solo a medias y sin el necesario «efecto sorpresa» que al menos taparía de alguna manera toda la previsibilidad y falta de originalidad.

Roar Uthaug is a skilled routinist who makes entertaining films and has action in pumping through his veins, and here he proves it again. Troll is a likeable epic that's delivered more earnestly than say, the American Godzilla, but it also follows the tried and true template typical of Monster Movies, and I can't really imagine how it could have been done any other way or better. An ancient Troll wakes up in the mountains and at first no one wants to believe it until it is on camera, so the atmosphere and fear of the unknown works well here (the camera shots, the chaos and panic of people running away while boulders fall on them looks realistic and uncomfortable at the same time), I could even imagine the whole thing in a horror guise. A fossil expert is called into a government meeting to help solve the problem. I liked how everyone sees this as an international problem that needs to be addressed urgently and not to be taken lightly, I just love that in movies even though no one has come close to the Chernobyl meeting yet. It's nice to see the Norwegians' fondness for nature, natural disasters and Scandinavian mythology and we get a fair amount of that here. I liked that they looked for the troll’s weaknesses through fairy tales and legends. The troll has perfect CGI, no one can complain about that here, it looks realistic and very acceptable. The action is spectacular, the characters are likeable, the atmosphere is solid and the emotions worked, so I had a very good time indeed. Uthaug did the job again. It’s sad there’s people that expected another introspective drama and ambitious attack on the Oscars, but not this time bi*ches. 75%.

The Norwegians deliver a decent European blockbuster here. They draw from Norwegian mythology, which is great, but then rely on standard film clichés to appeal to everyone. If I didn't know this was made by Norwegians, I'd almost think Roland Emmerich directed it, which is a compliment. However, in the end, it only earns two stars from me.

A Norwegian woman tries to stop a troll that was awakened by railway workers digging a new tunnel. This take on Emmerich's Godzilla-style American disaster romp knows how to poke fun at itself, but it also goes a little more serious at times, which creates a strange contradiction that some viewers may not be able to stomach. Uthaug is a skilled director, not entirely distinctive, but he knows his craft. The effects are decent, the action is good, almost unexpected for the Norwegians, and the jokes are often lethal.
