I remember the first Scream movie. The plot was thin, the acting wasn't that good, but that was okay, because it was in the early days of "anyone in the close friend group can be the killer" type movies, so it was forgiven for it's weak points.

Now, this garbage is an absolute insult to the franchise, because the creators must think the audience are total morons.

Here's what the writers thinks I'm stupid enough to believe:

1. A cop dad loses his homicidal son, and trains his two remaining children to become psycho killers who enjoy murdering people they've pretended to be friends with, all while cop dad is plotting a revenge so convoluted that when the big revelation comes, it's just laughably stupid.

2. Main characters can get stabbed numerous times and survive, and in some cases doesn't even flinch afterwards, while the rest is killed like flies.

3. No one can hit anything with a gun, unless it's the killer. Seriously, not even the New York convenience store clerk with a shotgun, can hit a person from five feet away. Killers outrun bullets, like writers run from responsibility to the audience.

4. The investigative journalist Gale Weathers is so brilliant she discloses the location, that even FBI can't find, but she didn't discover that cop dad bad guy rented the place and just put two college students names on the lease as his cover.

5. The voice modulator is also a dialect modulator, because not only is the voice the same, but the pronunciation is also exactly, no, I mean, EXACTLY the same no matter who uses it.

This movie is total garbage. Do not waste your time or money on this, and I feel sad for the cast who did well, and wanted to make a good movie, because no matter how good they did, it will always be junk because of the cash grabbing studio and writers.

Alright, let's get some stuff straight.

Yes, the humans handle it really stupidly by refusing to acknowledge that they're dealing with a troll, even though trolls are a solid part of Scandinavian folklore. That's just moronic.

Yes, the military are always stupid drones.

Yes, politicians always act too strongly about stuff they don't understand, and don't wish to learn about. "It's big and scary, so it's an enemy and we should kill it".

Yes, it's weird that Sigrid can hack a 5th generation fighter jet, but hacking a phone is almost impossible.

Buuuuuut...

I love movies where giant creatures slap the living hell out of humanity. Even better when it's Scandinavian giant creatures, as I'm danish and we have such a rich culture and folklore in our small part of the world. We were once connected with nature on a deep level, so sometime it's nice to be reminded of that, when the troll king is smashing Oslo to bits.

I love that they tip the hat to movies like Trolljegeren, Jurassic Park and Godzilla.

I love that Nora understands the troll king. She sees that he's not a thoughtless killer, but a lonely troll who lost everyone he loved. He proves it by saving the kid Viktor in the amusement park. He doesn't want to kill, but if you dangle church bells around him, you're asking for it.

I love that the troll hates christianity. It fits folklore and christians did come here and wrecked havoc, so... don't mess with the troll king.

I love that I felt so sorry for the troll king. So much, in fact, that I got emotional at the end. Humans take everything for granted, because we kill everything that's in our way, and when there were no giant animals left to conquer, we started killing our selves.

Oh man, what a complete blast it was to watch this movie. I enjoyed it all, even the silly human stuff.

I love this movie!

Of course Lowrey has a son.. Of course Burnett is overly religious, and afraid of his wife.

This while movie is predictable, unoriginal and just a ridiculous cash grab.

The one liners are stupid, Martin Lawrence lost his acting skills, the plot is lame and he has a son now? That's Hollywood's most used excuse for sequels.

Don't even bother..
