It’s strange to review a third TROLLS movie. Somehow, we live in a world where cheap-looking 90s toys became an enjoyable, family-friendly trilogy. While BAND TOGETHER attempts to make the “Perfect Family Harmony,” it comes up short due to a serviceable plot and weak character development. And yes, I just said the plot and character arcs were weak in a TROLLS film. 😆 It’s fun watching the TROLLS franchise evolve from being the “New Kids on the Block” to becoming…

Adapting Lovecraft to screen is no easy feat. Love his work or hate it, it would seem the most successful adaptations take the source material, strip it of its problematic qualities, and reconstruct its core into a modern, insightful retelling.
