movie review - Troll

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2023.02.03

This is a film about a real Troll waking up and terrorizing Scandinavia. It features the troll expert no one believes, his daughter who's called in to advise the government's response team in their moment of crisis, and of course a giant CGI troll.

There was a little too much uneven dialog in this one, and a plot that felt like it was 2/3 filler.

Not recommended

rand()m quote

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.

—Kurt Russell
