Espen 2

I tried adding a genre to this movie as this series deserves a separate genre: Folklore

I started watching this movie, thinking that , ok, this is not a Hollywood production. It WAS however, a very good story. I like the way it is from, i think, Norway, so it is dubbed in English when i watched it. Still found it very well paced and interesting. Relaxing and peaceful. No gore or cursing as far as i can remember. Yes, it may not have all kinds of special effects and gore, but i find it a good movie to watch, whenever i catch it on my tv. Intersting story, beautiful scenery and for me, a look at a whole other country that i have never been to in my life. Well told and great story, at least from my point of view.

This is good family movie to enjoy with everyone on a Friday night. From a visual perspective it was stunning with absolutely beautiful scenery in regards to the surroundings. That being said the English dubbing is really lacking with context. Alot of scenes just didn't connect with the voice over. This seems to be the case with most foreign movies I have been watching recently. I almost prefer subtitles. The movie could also have used more action like the three headed troll segment, and less scenes with so much drawn out dialogue.

Overall, we enjoyed the movie and, I would definitely watch any upcoming new releases.

Names are a way to get someones attention. The old eastern way was to through a basketball twards the unsuspecting person. The ball would fly near a humper. Now people have names like blood luke or raymond plasma. And you're supposed to say something like 'hey, blood,' or 'hey, darth amanda.' Back then a person would scream when they were conscious, but now, 'you can't just go around doing, whatever you feel like, you cant.'

If you like beautiful scenery and fairy tales, this sequel is definitely worth a watch. The storytelling is markedly different from mainstream Hollywood movies but it's interesting and can be viewed as insight into Norwegian culture.
