the film builds up the brawl between the two trolls and we barely get any of that in this, in fact the friendly troll gets beaten up for most of it.

i feel most the characters are in the same place as before and is very predictable for character arcs. but there was some cool mythlogy

2.5/5 its ok

No 6 - Troll 2

I really liked the first Troll, really invested in the lore of a creature from myth coming to life in modern times, while not exactly original, it still was a very unique take with some over the top action.

personally Troll 2 is kind of the same film with Monsterverse trappings

the everything else sucks, this film is not scary yet plays almost identical to the conjuring horror playbook. it has probably the worst kills i've ever seen (defo the worst headcrush)

the characters suck and they did the puppet and michael dirty in this film, all to set up a third film

2/5

No 7 - Five Nights at Freddy's 2

god i am a fan of FNAF and i hated this movie, the only real reason this film is higher than JWR is cause this movie made me feel something

the good is the animatronics once again being absolutely amazing and the resturants are well detailed and thats about it

the same disappearing dinos, peaceful musical swells to the peaceful dinos, still doing mutated abomination dinosaurs and extremely predictable villains.

while this film did promise a stronger focus on the science of dino similar to the first, it fell woefully short

2/5 is still being generous

No 8. Jurassic World - Rebirth

the first 5 mins of the film told me exactly what i was getting myself in for with a snickers wrapper starting the plot. outside of that it feels that this reboot of a reboot? hasn't gotten any fresh ideas to move the series forward

i don't see the issue, its not like when Activision Blizzard required people to have a rolling phone contract just to play their games, locking people on pre paid phone contracts from playing.

most games have accounts that require a linked phone number these days anyway.
