Key Highlights

  • 1.
  • The sequel reunites most of the original’s major participants for another race to stop a second behemoth from running amok on human terrain.
  • It’s slick and fun in just the same way the earlier film was.
  • Though given the parting promise of a third installment, one hopes Uthaug and writer Espen Aukan come up with some new twists — inspiration is beginning to run a little thin here.
  • Related Stories 'Avengers: Endgame' Gets 2026 Rerelease Ahead of 'Avengers: Doomsday' An opening animated sequence illustrates the purported origin of trolls, their peaceful coexistence with mankind (in a previous time) and their extinction under a newly Christianized society a thousand or so years ago.
