Streaming Standard: Troll 2 (2025)

 A Film that makes me go 'No, not that Troll 2.  This is a new Film' far too often.

I guess they couldn't use Trolls, so...

A few years after the last Film, our Heroine is on the outs with the Government (as she went a bit rogue).

She does have one connection and Andreas gets her in a base with a secret...

They have another Troll.

Didn't the last Film tease another one?
Well, it's not this one.

Naturally, it wakes up and gets loose.

It starts attacking more people, including a Night Club that is super chill about a Troll with a 30-foot head growling at them.

At least Leatherface was just a normal guy (in a skin mask) when he showed up in that bus.

The new Troll continues on its path of destruction, even wrecking the same random House as the last Film.

Maybe don't build your House on the Troll Highway, folks.

What can stop this bigger Troll?

Another Troll!

Yes, they befriend a nice Troll (complicating the morality here as we have a Villain Monster and a Hero Monster) to save the day.

Of course, we're barely an hour in, so that's not going to work.

What can stop this new, angry Troll?

To find out, stream it now.

A fun Film that builds on the lore nicely and really lays on the pathos.

I obviously won't SPOIL too much- the Film has only been available for 19 days at time of writing.
That said, they set up some obvious stuff and then pay it off for the end.

To the Film's credit, it is not that much of a rehash.

This Troll is a legit Monster, as opposed to a force of Nature that they keep shooting at.

They build nicely on their own History and Lore.  Don't got into this one blind- you'll need to get LOTS of recapping in.

The VFX are still great here.  That said...

There's less Troll action (as a whole) than I was expecting- especially with a second one showing up.  I can't imagine that this one had a smaller Budget, so what's the Story here?

Regardless, the Film looks gorgeous and should please fans of the last one.  And yes, it too has a Fake AI Trailer Image when you search this Movie on Google.

This looks like an ad for a bad, pay-to-win Mobile Game!

A Film that gives you both less and more of what you want.  I'm not 100% in favor of every choice, but most of them are quite good.
