One Of Netflix’s Best Movies Is Still Claiming Millions Of Viewers 3 Years On (Thanks To Its New Sequel)

This movie continues to be a huge hit on Netflix, appearing in the Top 10 films even three years after its release. It’s already the most-watched foreign-language film ever on the platform, based on its first 90 days. And just before the release of its sequel—which came out less than a week ago—it gained another 2.8 million viewers.

The Norwegian film Troll is about a massive creature that’s woken up after being trapped inside a mountain in Dovre for a thousand years. It’s now heading towards Norway’s capital, destroying everything in its way. The question is, how do you stop a monster that everyone thought was just a legend?

Critics Loved Troll, While Audiences Thought It Was Cheesy

I have to say, even though it didn’t immediately explode with audiences, Troll really impressed me – and the critics clearly agreed! It’s got a fantastic 90

Aaron Neuwirth from We Live Entertainment praised the film, noting that the director successfully used techniques from movies like King Kong and Godzilla to create suspense, deliver convincing effects, and maintain a good balance between seriousness and fun. However, general audiences weren’t as impressed. One viewer felt the movie heavily borrowed from other films, while another criticized the story for lacking emotional depth. They specifically mentioned a lack of empathy towards the troll, poor character development, and a missing moral or lesson, stating that the characters only wanted to eliminate the creature despite its apparent intelligence and feelings.

Overall, Troll is an enjoyable monster movie that offers a fresh perspective on the conflict between humans and nature, while also subtly critiquing modern capitalism.
