Troll Hunter

So after seeing the trailer I found this review, I've got to see it now, though I'm pissed that he gave away the part about the three billygoats.. I mean now what do I have to look forward to? ...not sure

It's a great movie, lots of fun and very well made.

I liked it, then again I'm biased. Then again I know some English people that likes it too so I suggest trying it out

you confuse me pasan! Hollywood is failing because of the Lincoln movie but you think THIS is good?

Is this in the cinema or dvd.
I like it coz its a new idea..

Only seen the first half. It's a fun film with an original premise but I felt the acting was a bit overdone in various sections.

I thought it was a great movie for what it was. The explanations of the mythology surrounding the trolls and how they fit into real life (within the movie of course) I found very engaging. A remake has already been planned for those who don't like subtitles. In fact, the remake rights were acquired the very same day that the film opened in the US.

I will check this movie out. Looks interesting.

In wonder who would win the duel between a real troll and TWC troll.

I watched the movie, very funny and some nice effects.

Glad you liked it

Out of curiosity, how did you find the Trolls?

one of the trolls in the trailer reminds me of a 'Wormy comic' version of an AD&D troll.

They also look like warhammer trolls, very cool!

I just got done watching this movie. I thought it was awesome. It was a little slow paced at times but i guess it made the troll scenes better. The troll from the bridge was cool, it moved real quickly and was a fun scene to watch. I imagine when the hairy cave trolls have children they look like this:

Give them more money and let them make Troll Hunter 2 with more troll scenes!

I honestly didn't think this movie was going to get any response, so if it's got subtitles I guess I'll pick it up.

... Because the Trolls featured in Troll hunter are pretty faithful to the source materials (Norwegian fairytales) that Trolls come from in the first place

Pretty sure they're all in the same family.

Hmm, not so sure about that. I think these trolls are later versions of popular culture. (19th-20th century)

Well you're wrong.

These Trolls are inspired by Norwegian fairytales that developed on the countryside and were gathered and written down in 1845. This is how Trolls were described to look like in those fairytales.

I think the original trolls (viking-age) where more like dwarwes.

Those were "Jotun" and although a predecessors to Trolls, are not Trolls. Trolls are as they appear in the fairytales.
