With loads of brawl and growls this can scare the guts of a child lets say upto 10 yrs old, all the darkness and extraordinary long waiting game could bring intense experiences for the children
but not for me, the troll like grumpy old man, i will say this was a overblown up expectation of a folktail , more known for the music made by edward grieg that the actual fairytail is for Ola Nordman. had they tried to adapt the animated iconic movies made by Ivo Caprino, e.g askeladden og de gode hjelperne, or reveenka or guten som kappåt med trollet, that would have been far more folkloristic than this one.
i shall admit i did see this in a very daftly english dubbed version on a tv screen, and compared to the norwegian peasant language its pretty poor. a subtitling wouldve done it better. the actual take on the fairytail itself aint autenthic and diverts alot from what ive read. a waiting game it is and it dissapointed me with too little time spent with the actual troll
positive is the filmography, nice settings, good scenic views of norwegian nature.
negative is the poor acting efforts, the actors doesn seem ready at all on several occations, and the score couldve been based around the griegs composition all through the film, actually just really used ca 2 minutes in the film.that couldve been improved.
well its always a quest for money when norwegians make movies, so i do give a 6 star as a patriot, but not more. its a recommend to view with your kids.
