One decent the other shouldn't have been made.......2007-06-05

Have you ever seen a film an said "i hope they don't make a part two and should leave things the way they are!"...well, this is how these two films are. Troll was not a bad film (but, not great either), however, it had some moments of being funny and others times dropping the ball, but, to be honest, Troll it self is sure to stand alone. Now, for Troll 2..its a stinker, this movie shouldn't have been made at all and should have just left it alone without the part 2. Anyways, if you seem that you need this film, get it for "Troll" only and if you can stomach part 2 then bring the pillow and hope for the best. Rental Only

wonderful movie.......2007-05-23

I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE IN AWHILE,BUT IT WAS STILL A GOOD MOVIES TO SEE AGAIN AFTER SO LONG..

Without a doubt one of the best worst movies ever!.......2007-03-03

I absolutely love these movies. They are completely aweful yet completely entertaining. Think of something that is so stupid it's funny and that would sum up these movies. The acting isn't too bad in the first one,(it's the script that kills it) but completely goes downhill in the second as the cast is comprised of unknown "actors." I also love how the second movie is titled "Troll 2" yet there are no trolls to be found, only goblins. LOVE IT!

Troll 2: A Lesson In How Not to Make a Movie.......2007-02-07

Every so often, something in my life occurs that so moves me that I have no other choice than to share it with those around me - good, bad or worse. In this instance, I am speaking of course about the crusty cinematic turd known as "Troll 2."

Now, I am actually a fan of bad movies. I like them. For me, there is a certain kind of charm in movies where you can see the boom mike, or where there are more plot-holes than a barrel of Swiss cheese. But every now and then, there comes along something that is so grievous, so utterly unwatchable that it causes me intense emotional distress and sometimes actual physical pain and/or uncontrollable vomiting. Such is the case with Troll 2. I went into this half expecting something related to the first movie, "Troll" which is actually watchable. Not so. First, Troll 2 has nothing to do with trolls. Not only are there no trolls in this film, but no one even mentions the word "troll" at all. Instead, we see glances of the film's protagonists, a lot of dwarves with badly formed latex masks (called "goblins" in the "film") and a hideous, frightening terrible out-of-work community theater refugee that's supposed to be their mother of sorts. I say hideous, because at one point she takes off her "witch" makeup and transforms into what is supposed to be an alluring vixen in an attempt to seduce an underage teenager - that's when the term hideous applies. The special effects, if they can be called that, are cast-offs from garage projects of local sci-fi fans and junior high school prop rooms. The acting is, across the board, the worst I have ever suffered through. It's obvious no one knew their lines, and were just a step away from reading cue cards. In fact, there were a few instances where they did just this. Words like "stilted" and "wooden" and "amateurish" would be kind descriptions indeed.

But I've teased you long enough. You want to know what the plot was, right? Well, dammit! So do I! There wasn't one. The closest I could ascertain was this: A kid starts having hallucinations about his dead grandfather, who comes to his bedroom each night to read him gory tales of medieval people whose scalps explode when nasty goblins (who actually disguise themselves as beautiful women with painted-on freckles) trick them into eating tainted ice cream, which turns them into plants. So the goblins can eat them - the people. Because they (the goblins) are vegetarians. Anyway, the boy's parents plan a sort of "Trading Spouses" trip to a small town called Nilbog (goblin spelled backwards - point beaten about our face and neck several times throughout the film) Upon reaching said Nilbog, the boy discovers that the town is really the kingdom of the goblins in human guise. In the meantime, his older sister who is dying to lose her virginity has manipulated her boyfriend to follow them to the town in a Winnebago. Then it gets confusing. One of boys meets a hot chick running through the woods, being chased by goblins. They run to a church inhabited by a witch. Witch turns girl and boy into plants - goblins eat girl - save boy for later. His pals never miss him. At this point, we are introduced to some side plot involving spoiled milk that I never understood. Another teen runs to the grocery store - all they have is spoiled milk for sale. He gets some, and stumbles upon the church - sees his friend standing in a flowerpot. Witch returns, kills flower pot boy with a chainsaw and kills spoiled milk boy as well.

Meanwhile, the family has run out of food - they go into town to buy groceries and get the same spoiled milk shtick. Upon returning home, all of the goblin people have showed up and they have a hoedown with lots of food. In the meantime, the young boy who sees his dead grandfather is captured and the attempt to force feed him the goblin ice cream, but he's save in the nick of time. Back at the house, the boy friend and the rest of the family enjoy the musical stylings of the goblin-people square dance quartet while the dead grandpa breaks out of a mirror and scares the whore-sister. They have a long fight with the goblin people. The witch returns to the last teen watching a movie in the Winnebago. Oh, how I longed to be watching whatever that was on the TV in the camper, which happened to be a movie about a chimp in a tutu that could fly with sparks flying out of the tutu. Anyway, the witch comes, now as what we are supposed to interpret as a sexy seductress. brandishing an ear of corn that she intends to use to entice her last young victim. To do what, we can only guess. They make out and the ear of corn turns to popcorn, engulfing the lad and frightening away the witch. Got is so far?

In the epic final battle, the goblins and witch are defeated when dead grandpa and the rest of the family put their hands on the rocks of Stonehenge, which happens to be in the witch's house. All is well. Not quite. The goblins show up again at their real home, change the mother into plant matter, eat her and offer some to the boy. Neat huh? No! It's an hour and a half of my life I will never get back. I could have been unclogging the toilet or cleaning the gutters or some other interesting chore. I have never warned anyone away from a movie before, but this is something I must do. You might be thinking that my colorful description makes it sound like something that might be tolerable, but don't be misled. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!!!! No really, spend the time reading some cereal boxes or something.

Best Worst Movie Ever.......2007-01-10

Troll 2 is by far the best worst movie in the world. If they gave out awards for the most horrible acting in a film, Troll 2 would win. This movie is fantastic if you want to have some friends over, have a couple drinks, and laugh at the awesome storyline and beautiful scenes. Remember, Just because it is called Troll 2, doesn't mean it has a single Troll in it.

Best friends Amethyst, Ruby, Topaz, Onyx and Sapphire unexpectedly tangle with Simon, an ancient power-hungry gremlin, when he fools them into thinking he is a nice little boy. At the same time, the gems of the BFFL Trollz begin to lose their glow. That means - NO MORE MAGIC! And, it's no coincidence. Evil Simon and his sidekick, Snarf, set into motion plans to steal their magic. The BFFL Trollz become tighter than ever as they master the "magic of the five" and prove that working together can overcome all obstacles -- even Simon's ancient evil.

Kids love it.......2006-12-07

I agree this movie is awful if you're an adult, but my four year old daughter can't get enough of it. She has watched it over and over and over!!!!! As this movie was intended for kids, I think it's great.

I love Trollz!.......2006-06-21

I totally disagree with the other review. My daughters and I both love this. I think it's a lot better than Bratz but still cool. I love that the girls are loyal bestfriends and each has a strong personality trait that can be admired. I can't get enough and neither can the kids. It's nice having something we can agree on.

Ick!.......2005-09-13

What on earth is this?!?!?! They turned cute Trolls into Winx Club wannabees! Be smart and don't watch this!

This alone is worth the price of an all-region player.......2007-02-08

We love him in "Black Books" and "Spaced," but stand up is Bill Bailey's forte. His are the funniest concert films I've ever seen, and Part Troll is his best. I have yet to show this or his other DVDs to anyone (a couple dozen people so far) who didn't almost bust a gut laughing.

This and Bill Bailey's other DVD's are available new from Amazon UK in a nice box set.

Consistently Brilliant.......2006-07-08

Having watched and hugely enjoyed Bill Bailey's first DVD 'Bewilderness' i was delighted to see a second appear on the market, 'Part Troll' performed at the Apollo. The show exceeded all my expectations and was an improvement on his first hit show, not that i thought there was much room for improvement. He has a great comedic talent and is able to produce both regular stand-up and hugely hilarious songs that have a habbit of staying in your head and making you laugh at a later date. His topics are sometimes obscure and you often wonder how he ended up on a certain subject but when he makes them as comical as he does they don't need justifying.

In this show Bill gives a guide to Britain, expresses his opinions on the typical love song (producing one of his own that is not to be missed!), declares the need for a new national anthem and offers what he describes as a Kraftwerk tribute which to avoid spoiling i'll just describe as unexpected but brilliantly funny. In fact his topics are vast but all hugely amusing. It's clearly apparent from this DVD that Bill Bailey is both fantastically comic smart and hateful of anything Chris de Burgh related - again something not to be missed.

A huge bonus to the show, which is a good hour to an hour and a half long anyway, is the extras on the DVD or more specifically Bill Bailey's 'Tea, Coffe and Trouser Press Census' (his tour diary). It's a never ending piece capturing the best, and worst, of the tea and coffee making facillities found in Britain's hotels. My description might not do it justice but it is quite simply brilliant, perhaps because it's original and very much unexpected.

Overall if you have a keen eye for comedy then you can't fail to be amused by the wit of Bill Bailey. It's definitely a DVD worthy of a place in your collection and is probably the most perfect comedy package that's been produced so far. May he produce many more...

Funny is an understatement.......2006-01-04

Bill Bailey's Part Troll is a thing of genius. Within five minutes we are sore from laughing and it for the entire hour and a half he doesn't let up.

Bailey uses a diverse range of comedy techniques, from his observational stand-up to the hilarious and brilliant musical pieces. The highlight is the "in the style of" musical pieces, such as the Hokey Pokey in the style of Kraftwerk and Zippity Do-Dah in that depressed indie techno-rock style that was popular in the late 90s and early 00s.

His topics are anything from his appearance, Australian customs, drugs, The Lord of the Rings ("I auditioned fro a part in the Lord of the Rings... auditioned? Surely not Bill, they just film you doing day to day tasks and build the film around you.") and many more. The axis of evil was also a highlight.

The way he allows the audience to participate is brilliant. In the drugs segment he asks the audience about the positive and negative side effects of taking marijuana. He uses his inability to hear the audience from so far away to his advantage, like when one person suggests as a negative side-effect something that sounds like Dolby. "Dolby? You mean you hear everything with a lightly reduced hiss?" It was also very amusing when he got the audience to all clap at once, because to him it sounded like a giant breaking a kindling.

His face and mannerisms are perfectly suited to stand-up comedy. He remarks that he looks like a Klingon motivational speaker, which I think is pretty accurate. He walks a little hunched over and his facial expressions are so funny that you sometimes have to look away. Just try not to have a drink at any time while watching this thing, or even a few hours afterwards, as you'll find that you'll be unable to control your laughter.

You have to see it to believe it. Bill Bailey's Part Troll is one of the funniest things you'll ever see. Do yourself a favour and pick it up.

For younger.......2007-09-09

Seemed a lot better as I remembered it. I should have probably left it to memory.

Absolutely Green.......2006-07-11

If you enjoy Fern Gully, you'll definitely love A Troll in Central Park. The movie is full of singing and, of course, plants. Great for children and parents.

My toddler loves Stanley!.......2005-11-13

This is my son's favorite movie. It fascinates him, and always puts a big smile on his face. My husband and I enjoy watching in with him.

makes me think of sitting at home as a kid..........2005-10-11

Man, these people are giving this movie horrible reviews- I mean, yeah you might not love it at an older age, some might find it just disturbing...
However I used to watch this as a kid and loved this show so much!! At 15, I just happened to find it on Television, and I just had to stop and watch the show to think about old times, sitting at home on my couch all alone watching this show and drinking some cola... I think at least you should check it out for your kids- they should like it.

I Loved It.......2005-06-07

I haven't seen this movie in years, but even I can remember it being one of my absoulute favourite movies when I was a kid. Well, I'm 15 now, but anyway. I've talked about it with my friends before too, because one of them mentioned it one time, and they all loved it as smaller kids too. I must have seen it a million times, and I never ever got sick of it. I would recommend this for all younger children, because I think they'll love it too.
