Review of Troll (1986) by Caesar M — 06 Oct 2012

Troll 2 is consider to be the worst movie ever made, but before I watch that I decided to checkout the original. While as famous as it's sequel, this predecessor fails to entertain in any level.

Troll is about a wicked troll king in search of a mystical ring that will return him to his human form invades a San Francisco apartment complex where a powerful witch lives. Now this movie has a whole of lot nothing happening on screen and what's worst it that it takes place in one uninteresting location. It has boring characters, pointless moments, and is dull throughout its duration. Though what's most baffling is that our main characters is Harry Potter Jr. That's right, this movie main characters is in the Potter family, guess the after years of Hogwarts weren't as magical. Now to this movie credit it does contains a pretty pointless scene where trolls are singing and midget getting transformed into an elf. The effects here aren't any good, but they're done by hands and not by computers which I come to appreciate since Hollywood over reliance on CGI. The acting is not worth mentioning, it's passable, but not as comedic as it sequel when it comes to bad acting. I would talk more about this movie, but it's so underwhelming and feels so lazy in execution that it left no impact on me.

Troll is not worth watching, it's lazy, unimaginative, and most important of all dull. You're better off checking its infamous sequel for its comedic value.
