Edit: should add for those who haven't seen it yet, watch the version in Norweigan with subtitles. The American overdubs are truly terrible (though worth switching on if you want a giggle).

I found it hard to take entirely seriously and I get the impression the cast / director did too. There was an element of tongue in cheek about it and some definite attempts to satirise the genre. This wasn't overt, it was subtly bubbling underneath throughout I felt.

That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it, in fact I thought it was wonderful. Well acted and the filming style was convincing. And the trolls of course were fabulous and actually all the better for being used sparingly.
