How sad is this?

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I watched this film with my family and we had a lot of fun tearing it apart and laughing at it. I can't think of one thing in this film that didn't make me burst out laughing. What's really funny as well is that this film was made by actual human beings. Human beings who looked at it and said "Yep. That's good acting, keep that in there."The acting is probably the funniest thing about this film. Never before have I seen a film with acting so bad, that every line they speak makes me want to laugh at how atrocious it is. It's a b-movie, I get that. But I've seen other b-movies that are leagues better than this. And the goblins (no this film isn't about trolls this time) look like a bunch of kids in Halloween costumes with masks from Party City.While there's some very funny moments that are trying to be scary, there's some outright strange moments that are trying to be scary. For example, there's this one scene where this woman is transformed into this green slime. And my first thought was just "What?" That scene wasn't even really scary, it was just gross.This remains the best worst movie ever made. If you want to watch it with some friends just to laugh at how bad it is, go ahead. You will sure get something out of that experience.

A hideous child who likes to converse with the ghost of his dead grandfather and his hopelessly dumb family go over the meadow and through the woods to the off-putting and peculiar rural town of Nilbog to swap houses with a family they've never met and all the oddball townsfolk are actually goblins in disguise who repeatedly try to get them to eat disgusting green glop that will transform them into vegetables so that they can be eaten! Troll 2!!! So this movie has a pretty impressive 'cult' fanbase as one of the best bad movies ever made, and while there are bad films I like better, I think this beauty more than lives up to its reputation with every frame. I enjoy it and find it good but not on the level of it being any kind of good motion picture, I just love how much it makes me laugh, because it's not just awful, it's hysterically awful! There's no question that it is indeed a terrible film in every aspect, the effects, the music, the camerawork and most of all the acting, but it's so entertaining because of that, because of how much of a colossal failure it is at a serious attempt at cinema and to watch this movie is to enter a bizarre fantasy land that feels like it can go off in any random direction at any given moment, but it can be such a fun blast if you're in just the right frame of mind for it, whether that may require you to drink or smoke a little something first who can say! The original Troll I have a special place for and enjoy on a genuine level, like a movie. It's witty, it's goofy, it's fun and it's even a little creepy, so why did this 'movie' have to associate itself instead of sticking to its guns and daring to be its own thing? Obviously because somebody took one look at what an astonishing sh*theap it was and realised that it would never attract any attention or stand on its own, and so they decided to just leach off the good name of a far better horror picture! It's so weirdly structured and so much stuff in it doesn't even remotely make sense, like how the grandpa can randomly become corporeal enough to hand out Molotov cocktails to his grandson or use the Force to battle sinister goblin reverends, or of course stop time itself so that ugly children may p*ss on hospitality! The dialogue is so stilted and unnatural sounding, like it's bad rehearsals for a community stage play, with the worst offender for me being the freakshow of a mother who always looks so astonished and strange, like a deer caught in the headlights. She really looked out of her mind, you can see the insanity in that woman's eyes, she clearly was not quite all there! I did like the rather strapping father, he was at least a little gung-ho about his silly thankless little role, and speaking of enthusiastic, I love Deborah Reed as the goblin queen witchy-woman, because she seemed like the only cast member to be fully aware of what kind of film she was acting in and just went completely nuts with it, her manic expressions and thunderous theatricality are a real highlight and have to be seen to be believed! The director was a deluded old stubborn fool for not acknowledging and embracing his movie's legendary rottenness! So ridiculous but so funny, if you don't get the so-bad-it's-good thing than you'll definitely just hate it, and you'd be in your right to, but just roll with it and try to have fun and enjoy the offbeat freaky ride, and do remember to eat ya veggies!

There are movie that are just bad and then there are movies so bad that they are good. Troll 2 is a bad movie but in the same time made me laugh for how bad it is and for bad i mean acting, costumes, story etc..,I don't know if the guys who made this movie were serious when they've made Troll 2 but they sure deserved 5 stars for the amusement.

I would like to say, first and foremost, that this movie changed my life in ways I never thought possible. Not only was it the most blissful 95 minutes of my life, this film allowed me to find true happiness while also repairing my relationship with my estranged father. Anyways, this film combines the riveting plot lines of lesser films like the Godfather and Schindler's List with the acting excellence of Robert Downy Jr.'s performance in Tropic Thunder, but like with all the actors. The decision to title the movie "Troll 2" and proceed to not include a single troll in the entire film can be described as nothing short of pure genius. Also, the plot twist where all the townspeople turn out to be goblins was so unexpected that I was forced to question my own existence. The moral to the story, that "only meat or the power of goodness can vanquish these monsters," has only become more relevant in the 27 years since this movie's release. Finally, the closing scene, where the goblins inexplicably return from their defeat and brutally devour the mother while she is in the shower, is one of the most hauntingly beautiful cinematic sequences I have ever encountered. The obvious allegory to the challenges faced by oppressed minorities in modern Los Angeles is icing on the cake in my opinion. The fact this movie did not win every Oscar possible the year of its release is a travesty, and serves more as a statement on the current Hollywood establishment than anything.
