Troll 2 supplied me with all my troll needs. I shall never want for troll again after having seen this film. May my score reflect the great number of trolls in this awesome movie.

Some movies are so deep and multi-layered that repeated viewings are necessary to fully appreciate them. Troll 2, on the other hand, is so god-awful, on so many levels, that it's impossible to comprehend the magnitude of its crapiness without watching it multiple times. It's like they took every undesirable trait from every idiotic movie ever made, multiplied it by 1000, and then somehow made it even worse. Just thinking about this film makes me burst out laughing.

The amount of 0's this movie has received is absurd. Not great but still entertaining as shit and a good time if you aren't a douche. Things I learned from this movie: you can not piss on hospitality, Niblog is Goblin spelled backwards, Goblin queens look exactly like Maggie Gylenhall, and of course if you have friends it will keep you a virgin for life.

Ok, first off the worst-movie-ever-made reputation is stupid and most of the fanbase just isn't 'getting it'. Anyone who has had years of sifting through bargain basement DVDs and watching hours of pure dreck knows that Troll 2 is something special. Well-paced, lovingly filmed trash completely lost in its own warped little world with dialogue and performances you wouldn't find in ANY other movie. Don't confuse its surreal Italian flavour with simple 'badness'. This is next level.

For a film that is ultimately about how vegetarians are the spawn of Satan, this is surprisingly bad.

If the only films that matter formally are auteur films, this -special- creative vision is a formal success, proverbial colors flying. If you think this is simply a "bad" movie, and lacking all self-awareness, you're a fucking idiot.

It's safe to say that Troll 2 is film in its poorest form. Everything is done terribly, but due to its complete lack of quality, Troll 2 is also an absolute hoot. This isn't just your usual case of, "It's so bad, it's funny," either. This is more like, "It's so bad, you'll laugh until it hurts, and then you'll think about it later for no reason, and you'll laugh until it hurts again." Utter crapulence!

I'm conflicted on Troll 2. On one hand, it is easily the worst movie ever made. The acting is horrible, the effects are laughable, the scares are non-existent, and the story is the worst ever. On the other hand, this is the worst movie ever made, and has to be seen, because it is so goddamn funny.

The legend surrounding this one was just too hard to resist, especially after seeing the documentary that it spawned 20 years later, "Best Worst Movie". It was actually much worse than the piece of shit that I thought it would be, completely inept in every area. However, what truly damns it is that I can't imagine watching this ever again. Is it so bad that it's good? Errrr, no. The incompetence is amusing at first but it's still a really unpleasant viewing experience. I felt unclean afterward.

I'm scoring this one right in the middle. Because while it is probably the worst film with the worst acting and the worst story ever, this is still probably one of the best movies I've ever watched with my friends. We laughed til it hurt and we still quote some of the awful quotes from it. What to expect: no trolls but goblins, the town of NILBOG (clever), a popcorn filled sex scene, and goblin masks that look like a little kid's art project (not a smart kid either, the "slow" kid's project)

Fun fact: the costume designer is Laura Gemser of Emmanuelle fame. And yes, the movie is pretty much what you'd expect of a movie where the costume designer is most famous for being naked. Hilarious, obviously: a family take on an entire city of vegetarian German goblins (there are no trolls in the movie) from Stonehenge, aided by their undead grandpa. "A balony double-decker sandwich!"

Do not expect a sequal to the original Troll. Do not expect a quality movie. However, DO watch it with friends. It's magical in its awfulness.

As a horror story it's not bad, but the writing is pretty awful and the acting is atrocious, particularly the mother who I suspect is not only a terrible actress but possibly not even human. Even the other bad actors here who have trouble delivering lines in anything other than monotone are at least trying to convey the emotions and are just bad at it. I did laugh at the absurdity, though, and witch lady is entertaining, the only one having fun with the material and hamming it up on purpose.

It was in my queue for years, finally decided to watch it. Still don't know if it was a smart thing to do. This is one of the stupidest things I ever watched. Also fell asleep the last 10 minutes. Did I miss anything?
Edit, just decided to watch to last bit after reading all the reviews. I have to say the last 10 minutes is in a class of itself. Now I'm gonna make a baloney double-decker sandwich for myself.

A worthy addition 2 the hall of classic stinkers, the first 20 minutes or so feature some of the most unintentionally hysterical dialogue ever. Unfortunately it's impossible 2 always b unintentionally funny, so it turns into a slog through bad filmmaking & far more horrific acting. Still, there's much mockable fun here: the family's staggering levels of obliviousness make slasher-flick teens look like Sherlock Holmes & a seduction/popcorn scene is as insanely bad an idea as anything by Ed Wood.

Corn scene in the trailer was swell! Novelty value was close to 100 for me, but the actual movie should have been aborted. It's because of movies like this, that make me feel ashamed to be Italian.

Kinda overhyped and underrated (I blame squares who watched this because of hype, but don't appreciate trash movies). Disliked: terrible acting all around, hysterical witch character, dodgy SFX. Liked: a satire on vegetarians, double-decker hamburger as a secret weapon against them, absurdly bad-funny dialogs. Overall, a better movie than recent best movie oscar winner. Where's the troll in this film, tho?

One of the most fascinating and heart-wrenching looks into our culture, the stiff, "wood-board"-like acting symbolizes something, I'm sure. This movie is awful. But it's one of the best times I've ever had watching a movie with friends. Seriously. Gets my top score for pure amusement.

Utterly repugnant. I watched this based on the hilarious youtube clip (Oh my god!) But was astounded by just how bad it was. I have never seen a film this bad (except maybe Manos but with the MST3K commentary saving it). This film redefined my idea of a bad film - every movie I have ever seen has had to have it's score doubled thanks to this monstrosity. I just had no idea movies got this bad.

Grotesquely inept on every single level of film making. But let's face it: after years of Youtube exposure, you know what you're going into, and in that regard, it doesn't disappoint. It will melt your brain and make your eyes bleed, but it will not disappoint...

I'm already regretting this score. Make no mistake: Troll 2 is a terrible film. It's proficiency at being perplexingly awful is already well-documented. It is nothing short of being one of cinema's greatest train-wrecks. I'm giving Troll 2 the score of 85 because it does manage to do the one thing many films fail spectacularly at; much like other colossal stinkers Mutiny in Space, Arizona Werewolf, and even Plan 9 From Outer Space, this movie is, on a minute-to-minute basis, highly entertaining.

There's a few shots in this film that need mentioning. The immense close-up of the Welles look-a-like grandfather's mouth, eclipsed in sexual tension only by the double mouthed corn eating scene. Admittedly I'm mainly reviewing this film out of sympathy for the films I've left hovering around 50-60 mark to bump them into a more respectable tier.

Hilarious. One of the greatest bad movies of all time. The "actors" have literally no talent. If you were handed the script and then just read on the spot outloud that's how it sounds. The writing tends to have everyone saying what they are currently doing or what they are about to do. Brilliant.

I give this a fifty as it ties the Room for my favorite bad movie ever. It is so unbelievably terribly hilarious. If someone ever says to you 'watch Troll 2' they are not your friend and should never be trusted. If someone says 'WE should watch Troll 2' they should be considered your best friend and can be completely trusted. Also, I AM TIGHTENING MY BELT ONE NOTCH SO I WON'T FEEL HUNGER PANGS.

Holy Goddamn! This is a treasure. What is this? A studio approved piece of shit? Like they put up the money and gave their full trust to the director? Or is this some grand weekend-made film using a bunch of friends and family? It really seems like the latter despite being the former. This is such a terrible, hilarious movie. But they found some great actors for this. Everyone's hilarious in one way or another. I just can't imagine that none of the actors enjoyed making this.

I watched this, and now it's going to watch me... OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD! This movie was amazingly horrible. It might actually be the worst movie I've ever seen. It's called Troll 2, but there isn't even one troll in this film, let alone two! The movie takes place in a fake town named Nilbog, which if you watch America's Next Top Model, that's Goblin spelled backwards. These Goblin's look like humans (but certainly don't act like them, which I mean that they can't act at all)... [Full Review]

Hard to rate. On one hand, this movie deserves a 0, but it was immensely entertaining simply because it was so terrible. In giving it a decent score, I am only saying that it can be amusing, not that I recommend it from a critical viewpoint.

highly aestheticised 'bad' movie that is clearly not unintentional, nor intended for kids. if something is so bad it's hilarious, then it isn't bad. very enjoyable and maybe parodic of family adventure films, though maybe i enjoyed it more due to its reputation. not the greatest thing ever for sure, but i don't see why so many think this is the worst film of all ti - oh wait yes i do. and it's not because of the movie itself.
