Troll 2

Wednesday, December 19, 2007

If you haven't seen Troll 2, that's your fucking problem.

Troll 2 is one of the best so-bad-it's-good type movies ever. I'm not always a big proponet of this type of entertainment; usually I prefer movies that are so-good-they're-good. And then sometimes, with a movie like Roadhouse, I'm positive that, even though some people might think it's a bad movie and laugh at it, it's entertaining for the exact reason it intends and is meant to be laughed with. That's not Troll 2, though. Troll 2 is in the House of the Dead catagory of not being funny or entertaining on purpose.

Well, or maybe not. I dunno. Some of the performances and some of the dialogue go so far over the top or are so funny... maybe it's not all an accident. Hard to say. I mean, clearly the movie wants to be funny at times. Like when little Joshua pisses all over his family's dinner... that's genuinely a funny moment. And it's clear that it is trying to be a little corny and stupid at times.

One way or another, this movie is brilliant. Whether that's on purpose or not, is hard to tell. Perhaps some sort of mix.
