(2025) Troll 2 - An Entertaining Sequel to the Norwegian Hit Monster Movie

When I saw the poster of this film in the Coming Soon section of Netflix, I was immediately excited as it seemed to promise something epic. But when it was released, I was away for holiday and did not want to watch it on small screen of my tablet. So I decided to wait till last night when I was already at home to see it on my TV. OK I'll get right to it then.

Brief Story Line

Three years after the events of the first movie, Nora Tidemann (Ine Maria Wilmann) had quit her previous job and lived in seclusion till her old friend Andreas Isaksen (Kim S. Falck-Jørgensen) sought her advice on something related with her expertise. Nora later met with a group of scientists that included Andreas' wife Sigrid (Karoline Viktoria Sletteng Garvang) and few others led by Marion Rhadani (Sara Khorami).

Agak Laen: Menyala Pantiku! - A Standalone Sequel That Was Still As Enjoyable As The First Movie

After more than a week of release, my wife and I decided to see this movie in the cinema very near to our home at noon today where we can still easily get our favorite seats. Amazingly the film was playing in 3 studios which meant that we could opt to see it every half hour to forty five minutes. All right then, why don't I just get to it now.

Brief Story Line

Four police detectives that consisted of Bene (Bene Dion - The Underdogs, Susah Sinyal etc), Boris (Boris Bokir - Ngeri Ngeri Sedap, Guru Guru Gokil etc), Jegel (Indra Jegel - The Guys, Miracle in Cell No. 7 etc) and Oki (Oki Rengga - Keluarga Super Irit, Cinta Tak Seindah Drama Korea etc) have been under a lot scrutiny due to their repeated failures in the past. They were given final chance to redeem themselves by their superior, Commander Ario (Ariyo Wahab - Ganjil Genap, Sayap Sayap Patah etc) to find the murder suspect from 2 years ago who have fled to a nursing home.
