I suppose the writer must have thought that no one saw Roland Emmerich's Godzilla (1998) and that he could get away with remaking that, but placing it in Norway and with a huge troll instead of a giant lizard...
Some shots and are in fact copied, and there seems to be no shame about it.
Aside from this, the acting is terrible, although the terrible screenplay is probably to blame. The characters lack depth and the filmmakers are trying their hardest to try and make us care about them anyway. But we don't. We don't care about the humans, and we don't care about the troll. Which leaves very little to care about.
This film could and should have learnt from Trollhunter, a brilliant Norwegian film about trolls, that didn't take itself too seriously but had some fun with it. Then we actually take it more seriously than this sorry excuse for a film...
