Marvel officially closed off their Phase 2 this weekend past with the release of Ant-Man, a movie that may have had a troubled production but ended up being pretty great.

I’ve never seen the original Troll, only its awfully good and utterly unrelated sequel. Troll 2 is better known these days, mainly because it is one of the worst films ever made. Bashed together by a bunch of Italians with no capacity for English and in record time, it’s quite something. By the way, Troll 2 was an english-language movie, so …
