Rating: Summary: Troll is fantastic. Just pretend Troll 2 is not there. Review: Troll is a trip into the unknown, as daemonic nature returns to reinforce its will upon society in the form of a powerful wizard who was turned into a troll. Harry Potter, Jr, and his family (interesting co-relation, but he predates JK Rowling's books by over a decade) move into this apartment complex full of eccentric little people. Arguably the most eccentric person here is the old Eunice St. Claire, who appears to be a mean old lady, but she's really got a secret of her own. For those of you, who, like me, adore literature, you will get a kick out of a recitation of a passage from the Fairy Queen.
Rating: Summary: Troll, A Great Film.....But......... Review: Troll is an awsome film and I loved it, that's why I purchesed this dvd. But......the thing I didn't like is 1. The lack of special features 2. They should realese Troll sepret I HATED Troll 2. It was easly one of the worst movies ever. I bought this cause I knew they wouldn't realese these movies sepret. Troll 2 is so popular and I don't know why. The special affects are so crappy, the acting is horrible, and the plot STINKS. This is in the top ten worst movies in my opinian. But the real deal in this is Troll. The first one is no where near the stupid and gay sequel. The acting is great, the plot is average and the special affects are awsome. I hope they realese these films sepret, so all the people who hate the second and arn't buying this will be happy. I bought this cause I love Troll. So, I really hate to say this but, buy at your own risk or do what I do, pretend that Troll 2 isn't even on that same disk.
Rating: Summary: Watch this movie! Review: Troll is without a doubt the best of its genre. The genre I'm referring to, however, is "Horror Movies So Bad That They're Unitentionally Funny." I have watched an untold amount of horrible horror movies in my day, and this one has brought me to tears (the good king) unlike any other. From Lassie's mom as a witch with an inexplicable talking plant, to Sonny Bono's classic demise, to the operatic interlude, this movie is unbelievable. You must watch this movie! The only reason I'm not giving this movie five stars is because the sequel isn't fantastic, probably three stars, though it does have its moments.
Rating: Summary: THE FUNNIEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: Troll: an ok movie Troll 2: the funniest movie i have ever seen! it doesnt even have trolls, it has goblins! which are really just men wearing masks with holes in them for eyeholes! there is only 1 guy doing the whole movie, just using a different name so no one will really know it's him! this movie is a MUST SEE! bad costumes for goblins, stupid green liquid crap running down a kid's head,retards trying to act,a kid taking a whiz on green food,a branch coming out of a kid's hand, a retarded grandpa, a dirty man giving a kid green ice cream, a kid with the gayest skateboard i've ever seen, a horrible ending, the worst sound effects ever, a movie having nothing to do with the 1st, and lots more stuff that you can spot yourself! i only have a couple more words to say, funny, and buy it!
Rating: Summary: Troll 2 Review: When I was a young, impressionable child and I saw this movie on cable-tv, I thought it was cool. It was low budget which somehow seemed dangerous to my little brain, it was icky and gooey which to me was the same or as good as actual gore, it involved your typical-type American family (only now do I realize how wrong I was so bear with), and all these outrageous supernatural things were taking place. Does it still hold up for me the same now as it did then? PRETTY MUCH!
I like this movie a lot. It sure as hell seems like a great idea for a movie, and the plot could have still worked well- if the filmmakers were to replace the entire cast. You really get the notion that this film's production suffered famously from low resources, little money, and choices the director was forced to make that he didn't necessarily agree to. But this is still such a unique story to be captured on film. If I had a group of friends I regularly met with (like the babysitter's club), we would turn this into a funny play to be videotaped and we'd watch it drunk.
I would have never found the dialog or acting as intentionally funny without the enlightenment of so many people over the internet. It was at one point the 2nd worst film ever made- voted for by what must be hundreds (maybe thousands) of users at the Internet Movie Database. That truly is something to recognize. My favorite things about this movie? The food is so many pretty colors, the music score is excellent, and most of the guys are almost hott. I certainly wouldn't mind borrowing Josh's father for a private weekend on some remote Tropical island-paradise! That's what I meant when I said most.
MGM's DVD of the two movies is a sight to be seen on it's own. When I bought it, for $10 no less, I expected that it would look like the rest of their midnite movies / double features. That I would learn to accept it over time, but not be at all 'impressed' with it. I really wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I expected something. What I got was the biggest surprise in my near 31 months and 3 weeks as a DVD collector (in which I've amassed about 130 DVDs).
MGM's transfer of Troll 2 is simply stunning! In anamorphic widescreen- there is not a single bit of grain to be found, the image is sharper than it's ever been, the colors are spectacular. And the sound, sure only a mono track, is shockingly forceful and supports the movie well. MGM should be given an award, Troll 2's transfer even manages to outshine Troll 1's. And as a bonus, you get the original trailer too- which I never thought I'd see. This thing must be ultra rare!!
Rating: Summary: Forget Troll. It's all about Troll 2. Review: while it is a treat to have 2 movies for the price of one, Troll seems more like a freebie to the dvd. it's all about Troll 2. if you're as easily amused as i am by bad acting, a horrible plot, and just plain stupid moviemaking, this is the movie for YOU. it gets better (and dumber) every time you watch it. Troll's plot actually revolves around trolls. Troll 2 revolves around the Waites family (which includes Dad, Mom, big sister Holly, little brother Joshua, and the loveable ghost of the recently-deceased Grandpa Seth) and their encounter with the goblins of Nilbog! yes, you read it right. goblins. not trolls. essentially, it comes down to a fight between the Waites and the Nilbog Goblins (who turn people into plants, because we all know goblins are vegetarians), ending with an all-out ridiculous, idiotic battle between Good and Evil. sure, Troll is worth a watch, because we all know Sonny Bono and that kid from Neverending Story are in high demand, but you'd be getting your moneys worth with just Troll 2. Troll should be a bonus feature, as it will never live up to the stupidity of Troll 2.
Rating: Summary: Horrible acting + Terrible Script = Hilarious!!!! Review: While these movies are probably two of the worst made films I've ever seen, that is exactly what makes them funny. You will seriously be laughing throughout the whole film, because you know that you could have made a better film when you were 8 years old. If you haven't seen these ever, I would highly recommend buying them, you will be entertained as much by them as the Leprechaun movies!
