Movie Review: Troll 2 (2025)
If you thought the first Troll movie shook up the Norwegian monster genre, Troll 2 (2025) takes that energy, cranks it way up, and stomps through the screen with even more spectacle, humor, and emotional punch.
The sequel wastes no time throwing us back into the chaos. When a new, even more dangerous troll awakens, it immediately becomes clear that this isn’t just another “creature on the loose” story. The scale is larger, the stakes are higher, and the destruction is… well, delightfully massive.
What really works here is how the film balances its set pieces. The action is thunderous, but it never feels overwhelming. Every major moment is clean, exciting, and surprisingly beautiful — especially the scenes shot in Norway’s icy landscapes.
The Trio Returns — Stronger Than Ever
Nora, Andreas, and Captain Kris return with the chemistry that made the first film so fun. Nora is still the emotional backbone of the story, Andreas brings the humor, and Captain Kris delivers the grit and leadership. This time, they’re joined by a handful of new characters who actually add depth rather than clutter.
And yes — some of the jokes land better this time around. The movie knows when to be serious and when to lean into its wild, mythical tension.
Visuals & Creature Design: A Major Upgrade
The troll itself is a piece of art. The CGI feels richer, heavier, and more textured than in the first film. Every footstep feels like it carries weight. Every roar echoes with mythological menace. The creature’s design manages to feel both terrifying and strangely sympathetic, which elevates the emotional stakes.
A Story With Surprising Heart
While Troll 2 is definitely a blockbuster experience, it also sneaks in some heartfelt moments. Themes of legacy, coexistence, and responsibility give the film a surprising emotional core. The movie doesn’t just repeat the first film — it expands the world and gives its monster more depth.
Final Verdict
Troll 2 (2025) is the rare sequel that doesn’t just try to be bigger — it’s smarter, more polished, and more entertaining. With stunning visuals, likable characters, and a surprisingly emotional story, it’s easily one of the most enjoyable creature features in recent years.
⭐ Rating: 8.5/10 – A thrilling, heartfelt, and visually spectacular monster adventure. Perfect for fans of mythology, action, and cinematic chaos.
