Utterly disappointed with this movie. I know this is their last movie so I watched it with high hopes. Hoping that it would end in justice and closure.
Buuuuuuuuuut, wow. The disappointment is just immeasurable. First of, Jim is always unsure and doubtful of himself about being the Trollhunter. Like every ten minutes he had to bring it up. Like after he went through? He's still asking that? I love seeing him embrace his character and title but in this movie, he is just so doubtful its really annoying at times. The Trollhunter is supposed to be looked up upon. But its hard to follow a leader that is doubtful. Well yeah he's a kid. He's went through too much for a kid his age. But come on, for their last movie, this is the best they can do?
Okay I'm done with Jim's side. Moving on to Strickler. Oh man, really wished they could've handled his death a little bit more professional. He really died for nothing. Just boom exploded himself and the titan just walked away unscathed. I was pissed. He is one of my, if not, favorite characters in the series. And they just off him like that. I love the idea of him sacrificing himself but this is just absurd. Also the whole Troll marrying human was a little odd but I'd like to see at least how they handled that But I guess we won't see that since they choose to kill of Strickler. Waste.
Douxie as well, after watching Wizards, I was really hoping he would be a big part of the movie. Like a co-leader or something. It was such a disappointment to see such a skilled wizard be a sideline character. What's the harm to use a few extra spells to help make things better? He is very underused in this movie.
Nari is a great inclusion in the movie. Her sacrifice means something. And not to mention hiw badass her fight was with Skrael . Even more so she carried the whole movie and Jim was supposed to do that! Nomura's death is bone chilling but honestly I don't see her being at the end of the movie. She doesn't seem like she wants to be involved in anything.
Now i guess we'll talk about Steve.. Um yeah, male pregnancy. I don't even know how to start this. I love how they are including stuff like this in animated shows but.. It got me a little disturbed maybe, just maybe because of the alienxhuman . I don't even know. But that is not the biggest issue in the movie.
Its the ending... Yes, everybody has to agree that THAT is the biggest flaw in the movie. It would have much better if they just let Toby die. I know I'm sounding a little bit harsh right now but its definitely realistic than the ending that we got.
I mean, going back in time just to pass the mantle over to his best friend? Who he was supposed to be protecting? Its like saying, "Sorry, bro. Bular, Gunmar, the Arcane Order, all the other villains I have ever fought in my previous life is yours to handle. Not my problem anymore."
Like literally what the heck? That was not a good ending for me. I have watched this show from the very beginning and after seeing that joke of an ending, it felt like as if all the things that he did to prove and redeem himself just goes down the drain. It didnt feel right. As much as wanted to give it a 1 star, I feel like its not totally a mess. Its just full of flaws that needed some work. Especially since this is their last movie, I couldn't help but think that they rushed it last minute because of a deadline or something. I really trusted DreamWorks. Let this be a lesson NOT to keep your hopes up too high because the disapppointment will never go away.
