Trolls Reviews
Well it is colorful as in a tier list it would be an A but definitely not as good as 2 and 3
Why does this exist
Cons 1. The reasons why the movie is horrible and doomed from the start is there is too much cringeworthy and cheesy dialogue, especially the controversial “ But that's crazy talk. Who wouldn't wanna be with you?” dialogue from Chef, the most controversial and worst dialogues ever in a DreamWorks movie. Also there is one stupid line where Dinkles says “Oh Snap”, another corny dialogue. 2. Sometimes the movie can get way too boring, watching it over and over again with no total meaningless. Making it feel like this is DreamWorks’s first and only animated film to date. 3. The musical numbers serve no purpose no other than make the movie hit the 90-minute mark. 4. Overall, this movie is the reason why The Boss Baby franchise was horrible, thankfully Captain Underpants was the first good movie after Kung Fu Panda 3.
'Trolls' is quite enjoyable, unexpectedly so. I admit that I didn't know much about it before watching, but I did know of the troll dolls - well, just the quintessential (?) pink-haired geezer tbh - growing up so I didn't think a movie about them would move the needle at all. In actuality, it's good, light fun and suitably amusing. The film has a brisk pace to it and the (toe-tapping, I'm afraid) music is expertly chosen, all the tunes fit their respective scenes. You could argue there are a few too many songs, at least compared to the standard scenes, but I'm not even sure that's the case myself. The voice cast are also praiseworthy. Anna Kendrick is a smartly chosen lead, with Justin Timberlake, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Zooey Deschanel and Christine Baranski offering firm support. There are plenty of familiar voices behind those aforementioned actors too, including Russell Brand (eerily playing his future self?) and John Cleese. A pleasant surprise, this. I now wonder if they did as well as this with the two sequels, I plan to soon see.
Dreamworks made a good attempt at making a musical using the aspects that their known for wich makes the film more entertaining.
It’s alright, it can get too boring and cheesy at times.
‘Because singing killed my grandma’ 😭 🙏
The movie feels very Glee-like with all the reimagined pop song snippets. The musical numbers? Not super memorable, but who cares because they’re all in service of one of the best pure pop songs I’ve heard in my lifetime: "Can't Stop The Feeling". Honestly, it almost feels like the entire film exists just to get to this song and the final dance party number at the climax. And for that alone, I’ll give it three stars. That song is just too good, and it fits perfectly with the borderline obnoxious positivity running throughout the film. It’s not a very funny animated movie, but it’s cute enough, even if it’s a bit saccharine at times. And the story itself is very basic. Really, the whole thing is just a vehicle for the soundtrack, which does have some great original songs, they're just strangely only in the credits. Maybe they were supposed to be in the movie but got cut, though I don’t think that’s the case. I can't stop the feeling that this started more as a music or soundtrack concept with big names attached that clearly would sell units, and then the story came second. Capitalism at its finest.
The clipshow format still bothers me, but the animation being felt scrapbook land, and the sheer audacity of some of the plot points and such? I can't help it I get moderate enjoyment out of passively watching this in unavoidable scenarios (I've worked at summer camps most summers of my teen/young adult life) & it's a solid movie that will likely hold up for a couple decades (but then again if we keep getting movies the likes of Spiderverse, Mitchell's vs The Machines, & Mutant Mayhem? Perhaps it won't)
Fun movie, fun characters, fun songs. Cute storyline. Super fun for kids. I loved this when I was younger.
A fantastic feel good movie for all. Especially needed right now!!
Terrible Movie this should never exist
Forced into a rewatch by the daughter, it had more good gags and greater visual inventiveness than I remembered. It also has a weirdly dark central premise to provide jeopardy, which could probably have been engineered in a different way. A very starry voice cast isn't used as well as it could be, and it shoots for an Inside Out style emotional depth, but it doesn't get anywhere close to it, ending instead with an idea that's typically saccharine and twee. Anna Kendrick is enjoying herself in the lead role, and Justin Timberlake is a decent choice, but the script doesn't give anything like enough to most of the cast to do what they can.
I HATE THESE DARN TROLLS!!!! I MUST DESTROY THEM!!!!
this is a movie for young viewers, but it is fun. silliness and a simple story. but frankly we don't have enough of them in this movie era. the colors are great, the animation is fun and frankly as an adult, i did enjoy it. this movie is pure escape. it is fun to hear the voices of such esteemed actors playing such fun characters. Sometimes i think so many reviewers feel they must pan movies as they don't relay various critical standards.. However, this one isn't one. i like many types of movies and this is one of them. a purely fun and colorful take on things. enjoy it for what it is and don't over think it! not all movies need that. it is great for kids and adults if you look at it as being simply fun! i am well over 21 and liked it very much!
This movie is incredible the songs are really amazing Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake are excellent voices for Poppy and Branch 🙂😊
It's content is weird, sometimes the movie loses sense in some scenes, but the pop songs are good to the ear.
Still Favorite Movie with Best Original Song (Can't Stop The Feelling!)
I love when movies make me feel embarrassed when watching them in public, and that's what this is. it is a breath of love and happiness, and it had me think things i should not say in public. (if you know what i mean) 3.5/5 stars. got boring at some parts, but still pretty good, also, HER.
para nada es mi peli fav pero no es mala no se merece el hate q tiene
