Troll, 2022 movie is another example on how Norway is producing quality movies. Directed by Roar Uthaug who also directed Escape 2012, Tomb Raider 2018 and another successful movie, The Wave 2015.
But, Im comparing this movie to other low budget films. I seen it received many bad reviews. And yes the writing was weak and the plot strength didn't hold throughout the movie. But people are being to harsh. Don't compared this film to a multi million production. Support the risk on taking on this idea and adapting it well into a movie. The Troll CGI looked great. Many say they didn't explored the full actions, attacks and movements a Troll could have done. But I saw they have a limited used of CGI and they distributed perfectly throughout their movie. Is small details like that that explain why they didn't elaborated in certain details or why they chose the paths and decisions we see on the movie. I would recommend people to just watch it. Forget about the technical or professional techniques and critics and just enjoy it. In fact, its is even a family monster movie since it lacks blood and heavy violence.
This is a fantasy movie that explores the idea of a Folklore tale being real. A huge Troll wakes from Dovre mountains in Norway and becomes a threat as it approaches its capital city, Oslo. This is a great movie that payed attention to every detail. It has great acting, great actors, great lighting, CGI, and beautiful locations. The movie is a Norwegian film made in collaboration with MotionBlur and Netflix and it is now available worldwide on Netflix. Even the English dubbed is great on Netflix. The main characters had great chemistry that was probably even better with the original language. The way they approach this movie was interesting. It is a basic movie that gets straight to the point. They give us some background details at the beginning but later follow the main plot naturally. Might not be the best movie that you ever seen but it's great. Norwegian mythology is vast and interesting. There is so much to explore there plus the new and fresh ideas Norwegian film makers must have on other topics.
Overall it was a great movie worth watching. I would definitely recommend this movie. I will rated a 7.0. Not sure the budget they had for this film but I believe it wasn't much. But for a low budget movie it was pretty good.
Rating: 7.0
