Rating: Summary: FANTASTIC!! A MUST BUY!!! Review: (This is a review for Troll 2, and not Troll 1) Troll 2 is one of the best movies ever made, and now it's getting true recognition by being released on DVD. I have purchased this movie on VHS and watched it lots of times. This is what I like to call Oscar Material. The acting is superb, the music is beautiful, and the atmosphere is truely terrifying. This movie changed my life, and I hope it changes yours by watching it. Buy it today, and prepare to take a cinematic experience that reaches beyond the silver screen. But please, don't watch it in the dark, or alone for that matter, it is far too terrifying.
Rating: Summary: Need a good laugh? Review: 2 Movies for the price of one! Not! Dont' be fooled, you're paying for one movie because the so called "sequel" is a pile of dung. But back to Troll... Play this when you had a bad day at school or work to get cheered up. Seriously, for a good laugh and some decent storytelling, pop this baby in. It may be considered a "bad" movie by most,but it's a funny bad and can't be missed if you want to just see idiocy onscreen. As a child I actually enjoyed it, now as an adult I just amuse myself by how laughably silly the movie is. A strange inclusion of Sonny Bono in his apartment getting attacked by a Troll is priceless entertainment. There is actually some decent acting, but most is the epitomy of bad, so dont' expect any academy awards for anything. Overall, it's silly watchable stupidity. Kids will love it. Adults won't believe that people pay money to see this. "Laughing".
Rating: Summary: The Real Deal Review: After receiving my copy of this DVD in the mail, I feel compelled to tell others about it. It would really be a shame to miss out on this one.Troll is a movie from my childhood. It is decent for a fantasy/sci-fi type of movie. For nostalgia's sake, it is great. When I was six, it was scary, now.. not so much. Still the talking mushroom is cool. The real treat on this DVD is Troll 2. It is highly possible that Troll 2 beats "Plan 9" as the absolute worst movie ever made. EVER. The acting made me laugh. So did the costumes, the make-up, the special effects, the editing, the plot, and especially, the dialogue. I was rolling on the floor thanks to the terrible job a lot of people did on this picture. It has nothing to do with the first film, and, in fact, I do not believe that the word "troll" is used at all during this movie. If i didn't know otherwise, I'd think someone just got a hold of the costume from the first movie and made a student film on the budget afforded by their mother's credit card. If anyone has seen a worse movie overall, please contact me. Buy this film to see the most terrible production of all time. Why 3 stars? I don't know. This movie is so bad, it came around full circle. Think "Rocky Horror," then, take away all the talent, charm, originality, and budget.
Rating: Summary: Two great flicks for the price of one... Review: As a kid I always loved the original Troll movie. It was one of the most enjoyable movies of the decade. Troll 2 is a fun movie, but for greatly different reasons. Troll 2 is perfect for those nights when you and your friends want to play "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" by mocking everything that went wrong with the movie. It's definitely so bad that it's good. I highly recommend this DVD package.
Rating: Summary: Trolls 2 Has Inspired My Life Review: Every few months or so, I host a "Bad Movie Night" at my house, and invite about 20 of my best friends to share in a night of torrid laughter and fun. My first movie night, we saw The Blob and The Fly.. Which were great.. but didn't really compare to the genius of Troll 2. I have watched this movie over 5 times, and it NEVER gets old. My friends quote the movie constantly: "Are you still smoking dope Holly?", "You're a genius big sister!" "Who would want to eat you little brother." "Eat before we eat you." "Don't hit him again! PLEASE!" "CONCENTRATE HARDER!" etc. etc. It's a great movie to watch with friends. It has literally bonded us together. I would give it one million stars. It is SOOOO awesome. The plot is strange, if there is even a plot.. But the characters are what makes this movie.. Everyone has a favorite character, mine would be the mother. Her acting is horrible: "You have to get over your grandpa's death.. I know it's hard for you, and me... his daughter" SOOO GREAT! And the dad is just plain bad, the daughter is a horrible dancer and actress as well, Joshua is hysterical.. He always seems like he needs to take a crap.. If you like bad b-movies, or just want a laugh with your friends. buy this. you won't regret it.

Rating: Summary: A group movie. Oh, definitely a group movie... Review: Every once in a while, a movie comes along that exposes us to the human spirit, so unabashedly so that we must shield our eyes from the light it presents us and and be left to wonder how much farther we have to go before we'll ever know The Truth.
Well, "Troll 2" indeed achieves this objective of shedding light onto the human character. No, not because the movie is any good, but because when you watch it (presumably alongside two or three of your friends who were too bored to protest when you suggested putting "Troll 2" in), you will realize how much you've missed human interaction in your lifelong quest of finding a good movie to watch. "Troll 2" won't play with you this way; right offhand, you'll know that it's going to be terrible. But is this really a bad thing? Remember those friends of yours? Even the most unflappable of companions you have should, you'll find, start protesting about twenty minutes into this film, dropping little comments like "are you kidding me?" and "oh my GOD..." under their breath between humorless, disbelieving giggles. By fifty minutes, you and your brethren will all be Mystery Science Theater 3000-ing the bejeezus out of the finely crafted piece of cinematic [...] that is "Troll 2".
It is the motion picture at its finest; it brings people closer to the ones they love.
A word of warning, though... Watch "Troll 2" alone, and you run the serious risk of getting a headache; a dull, numbing sensation on all of the parts of your brain that do thinking when they're not watching "Troll 2". This is one that is definitely to be watched with the safety net of human interaction beneath it. Regardless, you WILL lose brain cells after each viewing. Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: Good Thing bringing it out of print Review: For the longest time I tried finding both these movies and everywhere I went they were out of print or out of stock and recently they did this they brought it out of print and made it in widescreen format. which is awesome cuz i like this movie one of the child hood favs
Rating: Summary: Easily the worst movie ever made. Review: How can I start? I have completely lost all hope in humanity. The fact that there are actually enough people who would willingly pay hard-earned money to watch this affront to the human senses is enough to drive a person crazy. There are so many things wrong with this film that I simply don't know where to begin. Let's start with the plot. There is no plot. Basically some goblins (notice I said goblins, because - oddly enough, even though the film is named "Troll 2" - there are no actual trolls in the movie) want to feed a human family food that turns humans into some sort of tree/human hybrid, and the only way for the film's hero to save his family is with a bologna sandwich (yes, I said "with a bologna sandwich"). Most of the movie appears as though it were filmed in the director's parent's backyard, while the costumes look like they were picked out of the Halloween bargain bin at the local Wal-mart. The actors were probably rounded up at the local bus station or homeless shelter and the entire film looks as though it could have been made for the modest price of $18.33. The director was no doubt either blindfolded or heavily medicated or both when he filmed this movie. If you have never seen this movie then you should count your blessings. If you have then I am sorry for you, as I would not wish this movie on my worst enemies. Art is truly dead when garbage like this is allowed to be re-released on DVD.
Rating: Summary: Do you want some joshua? Review: I bought this particular DVD for TROLL 2, and you should too...as soon as possible. It's so bad...yet so amazingly great. Every movie watched on Mystery Science Theatre 3000 pales in comparison to Troll 2. I assume that the MST3K crew decided to simply stay away from this one...it was just too much. Instead, they chose Hobgoblins. ANYWAYS, you must believe the hype. The acting goes from 2 extremes: no acting and over-acting. Diana, the mother, is great at not-acting. Every line she delivers is hilarious. Every look on her face is hilarious. Plus, she looks like a troll. Michael, the father, is incoherent at best, what with his partial southern accent that makes words like "breakfast" sound like a retarded mess. Michael is responsible for some great lines in the movie. Holly, the daughter, fits in with the rest of her stupid family...except she's got some AWESOME dance moves! She seems like she just stepped off of the stage of a high school play. And then there's Joshua, the son and the hero. Everything he says is whiny and he always seems like he's in pain. He looks like he hasn't fully developed from a fetus yet. Try watching him whine and yell in slow-motion...his face is amazing. Especially when he delivers his classic line "You're a genius, big sister!" In additon, Troll 2 features the ghost of Joshua's Grandpa Seth...a very creepy old man indeed. Grandpa Seth has various magical powers, too. Let's just say that he can manipulate the fabric of time. And then there's Holly's boyfriend, and Holly's boyfriend's boyfriends. This group of 4 color-coded funboys really adds nothing to the movie's pseudo-plot at all. Just unintentional laughs. Let's not forget about the trolls...oops, I mean GOBLINS, in Troll 2. There are no trolls in Troll 2! What was I thinking! This fact alone should make you instantly purchase this movie. I would discuss what the movie is about, but it's not really about anything. There's a town called Nilbog (isn't there something odd about that name?). There's a lot of hillbilly townfolk. There's disgusting food products like milk and green pudding-type stuff. There's midgets in burlap sacks with pointy sticks. There's even a Stonehenge magical stone! But there's no apparent plot. Don't let that fool you...the various pieces of cinematic excrement are far more entertaining than anything else you're likely to see in your life! As Diana would say, "Michael...who are the goblins?"
