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...

Did you like the Mandalorian? Then you will love the episodes that are solely about him, and not at all about Boba Fett (in fact, he isn't even in them!). Fear not though! Occasionally you will get to see old and out of shape Temuera Morrison pretend to fit in the Boba Fett costume! Great actor but he's not Boba Fett. And this show is not about Boba Fett. It is, in fact, a waste of time. So if you have time to waste; go nuts! If you dont; stay the heck away!
Mike Flannagan is clearly the master and beginnings (The Haunting of Hill House was brilliand half way through and then dropped like a hot turd), and if only he could see it through and not build up to endings that can only be described as sentimental and weak, his creations mich actually be interesting from beginning to end.
In this case, the character developments are weak and unrealistic. The mystery of what's going on doesn't stay mysterious for very long, and was utterly disappointing once it was clear what was going on (again, half-way through the series).
It's not terrible, but I don't think it did not deserve a full series, but could easily and preferrably have been compressed into a 9 minute film to watch when you've watched everything actually interesting on Netflix.
