Movie Reviews of Troll/Troll 2
Movie Review: "I'm Sheriff Gene Freak."
Summary: 5 Stars
In case you haven't learned from the other reviews, Troll 2 is the real reason to buy this disc. Troll 2 is simply the most entertaining bad movie ever made. The dialogue and the way it is read by the actors has to be seen to believed. It's as if the cast is made up of space aliens who have an entirely different acting and storytelling style than normal humans.
The director (Claudio Fragasso, or Drake Floyd as he goes by in the credits) reportedly hardly spoke a word of English, and his only real directions were "more" and "a lot more". Here is but a sampling of the great, Shakespearean screenplay:
*"They're eating her! (pause) And then they're going to eat ME! (pause) OH MY GAWWWWWWWWWDDDDD!
*"I'm Sheriff Gene Freak."
*"[I am] tightening my belt one loop so that I don't feel hunger pains, and your sister and mother will have to do likewise."
*"Nilbog! It's goblin spelled backwards! This is their kingdom!"
See what I mean? Your life won't be complete until you own Troll 2.
Oh, and by the way, for additional Troll 2 hilarity, be sure to search for the "Troll 2 Music Video" on YouTube.com. It is definitely worth 5 minutes of your time and gives a knee-slapping good sample of the majesty that is Troll 2, all to the tune of Lil' Jon and The Eastside Boyz' immortal classic, "Get Low".**
Movie Review: Trolls 2 Has Inspired My Life
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Movie Review: One of the best faux horror films ever made
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie (Troll 2) is awesome due to the simple fact that it is sooo terrible. The acting, special effects (if that's what you want to call them) and the dialogue are just horrendous. My friends all love this movie, they each own a copy. They had been trying to talk me into giving this movie a shot but I had been hesitant. Finally, I broke down and watched it when I had a really bad case of stomach flu. This movie made me laugh so hard I ended up watching it three times in the course of one week. My mom thought it was hilarious. I now find myself wanting to share the glory of this awful movie with everyone I encounter.
I understand where some of these other reviewer's opinions are stemming from and I respect that. If you have never seen Troll 2 and are expecting a semi-decent horror flick, you will be sorely dissapointed. Yet, if you go into it knowing ahead of time that it is really campy (and very obviously tongue-in-cheek) then I think it will exceed your expectations. I believe that this movie can only be truely appreciated by those people who are willing to take it for what it is, not what they had hoped it would be.
On that note, I will leave you with my favorite (and most recognizable) quote: "Do you want some Josh-oo-wah?"
Movie Review: troll 2
Summary: 5 Stars
three words: Oh My .
troll 2 is an incredible, unintentional masterpiece, beginning to end.
from joshua's mother insisting "joshua, sing that song i like so much" "mom, do i have to?" "yes" "row, row, row your boat..."
to businessman father who takes a long phone call explaining in detail to his firm, "nilbog, yeah, n-i-l-b-o-g, yeah, i'll be back in a month" THE NIGHT BEFORE VACATION and then, upon return home less than a week later, insists that he must check up on the office instead of staying with his almost-eaten, traumatized family
to the incredibly bad actress who plays joshua's sister holly & her bizarre eighties dance before reciting a speech to her boyfriend
to dead grandpa seth, who makes bologna sandwiches and fire extinguishers appear out of nowhere but doesn't bother to fend off the malevolent creatures of the night himself
to the goblins & their ability to sprout protective gloves the instant they're set on fire
to sweet little joshua himself: "nilbog! it's goblin spelled backward! this is their keeeengdom!"
this movie is hysterical comic gold. asthma attacks abound.
Movie Review: Forget Troll. It's all about Troll 2.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
