FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/troll-2-review/ Rating: C+ "Troll 2 is a sequel that, while competent and occasionally entertaining, struggles to find its own identity in the shadow of its predecessor. It's a perfect example that sometimes more monsters and more destruction don't equate to a better story, and that movie magic often lies in what isn't seen rather than what's computer-generated to fill the screen. The action scenes are indeed grandiose, and there's a deeper dive into Nordic mythology, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the rustic and palpable soul of this saga was polished until it lost its original shine, transforming an ancient legend into mere quick-consumption content."

"Trolls 2" feels somewhat like a remake of the original. There's little that's all that new on offer here. It builds in a very modest way, on the tale of Nordic trolls, from the first film. It introduces a few new ideas and twists but it fails to do anything truly original that would have made it a genuine successor to the first film. Action is well done but the finale feels like its comes and goes, all to quickly. In summary, no harm in making a sequel but you do need to ensure it offers something more than what went before. Regrettably, Trolls 2 fails to build on the solid formula established in the first film. A mediocre watch.
