Just ran across this. I'm intrigued.

Saw it. Loved it.

The special effects were very well done.

Haven't seen an oppurtunity to see this yet. Is it out on DVD or something? Netflix?

It is out on DVD. I borrowed it from a friend. Don't think it's on netflix streaming yet.

It's Norwegian, so there's subtitles. But, the movie is good enough that you won't care.

Saw it before it was released theatrically (iTunes had it as one of its 'see-it-before-it-hits-theaters' movies). It was good...the ending was somewhat anticlimactic, but the bulk of the film was good, with a terrific performance from Otto Jespersen. The special effects also really were incredible (here in 2011, when special effects have progressed so far, for me to mention the special effects in a film marks them as something special). A few storytelling quirks (mainly subplots that didn't mean much or go anywhere) held it back a bit for me, but overall very good, and worth the watch.

I've seen this one before. Did not like it.

Spoiler:
It's a tragedy.

It climaxes with the troll hunter rolling need on cloth gear and winning. Even though the hunter is eventually /votekicked, the ending is bittersweet because the blood elf priest really could have used that helm.

Didn't really like the ending because it was kind of abrupt. Other than that, entertaining flick.

I was looking for a WoW joke, but I couldn't quite find the right one. Thank you.

Ok, that was pretty good, enjoyed it.
The teenager liked it too and he's pretty picky on movies like this, so that says a lot right there.

Watched this a couple nights ago and enjoyed it. I loved the way they worked in all the fairy tale references and while keeping the naturalism. Didn't like the actor's and script's failure to convey emotion in certain places. But the film moved on and so did I.
