Only possible explanation for why Bruce Willis, who has starred in so very many good movies, would agree to be in this dreck.

I feel bad for him. I feel bad for Thomas Jane for his role. Most of all I feel bad for myself for watching the full 90 minutes.

You may be tempted to watch it. Don't be. You may find yourself thinking it'll get better. It won't.

I'm not typically a fan of "found footage" movies but I'm going to make a happy exception for Troll Hunter. I found the film to be surprisingly entertaining and enjoyed the take on Nordic myths. The characters never felt stale although a few tropes were trotted out. I especially liked the character of Hans, the eponymous Troll Hunter. World weary and tired of his job, he comes across as somebody who's done a dangerous and thankless job for way too long. The special effects where surprisingly good and the trolls were believable threats. A large part of that, especially early in the film, is due to the shots being at night and therefore any problems with the animation aren't as readily noticed. It lost a few stars due to a couple of plot points that didn't feel resolved to me. Overall though the movie is fun and a welcome addition to my movie collection.
