Stars: Ine Marie Wilmann, Kim Falck, Anneke von der Lippe, Mads Sjøgård Pettersen, Gard B. Eidsvold, Karoline Viktoria Sletteng Garvang | Written by Espen Aukan | Directed by Roar Uthaug
Troll opens with a young girl and her father rock climbing in the reputed home of Norway’s trolls. When the girl professes her disbelief her father tells her to look with her heart not with her eyes and sure enough, faces become visible in the rock formations.
Twenty years later Nora is now a palaeontologist and has just made an important find. Before she can even celebrate a military helicopter arrives with orders to take her to Oslo on a matter of national security. Workers excavating a tunnel through one of those mountains have woken something up. Something big, and not very friendly. It’s a troll and not the kind that follows you around Facebook commenting “Libtard!” on everything you post.

Netflix’s Norwegian Kaiju feature, Troll, might draw easy comparisons to 2010’s Trollhunter for its Scandinavian roots and mythology, but it opts to adhere closer to Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse in plotting. While light on narrative, it’s when Cold Prey director Roar Uthaug embraces its monster that Troll reveals its magic.
A prologue sees a father tell his young daughter, Nora, of legendary trolls turned to stone, their bodies forming the mountainous peaks they look upon in awe. Twenty years later, Nora (Ine Marie Wilmann) outgrew her belief in magic and turned instead to science, now working as a paleontologist. While that means she’s been estranged from her folklorist father for years, it makes her well-suited to aid the government when an unknown destructive force of nature awakens.
Troll. (L to R) Mads Sjøgård Pettersen as Captain Kris, Kim S. Falck-Jørgensen as Andreas Isaksen, Ine Marie Wilmann as Nora.

Troll is a Norwegian-American action-fantasy movie directed by Roar Uthaug starring Ine Marie Wilmann and Mads Sjøgård Pettersen.
By the way, it has more references to Jurassic Park than it does to (due to the obvious similarities) the giant in Tokio. An adventure of the sort that entertains, and does not seek to provide more than that.
If you thought that trolls were just cute, almost harmless people leaving malicious comments on the internet, you were wrong.
Is it Godzilla? King Kong? There is a new guy in town: Troll!
Troll (2022) Premise
A paleontologist must assist in subduing and capturing a gigantic creature that has awoken in the mountain range of Dovre. This creature is running amok, destroying everything in its path, and is headed towards Oslo, the capital city of Norway. Was there some truth to Norwegian folklore, after all?
Movie Review
This is an entertaining number, but not a blockbuster.
