Some parts don't stand up so well, including a lot of the performances, but a lot is still impressive - the way the brownies are integrated into scenes is very well done considering how old the movie is, and never really feels jarring, and the wall-crawling trolls still stand up very well and are suitably creepy.Mostly that was positive for me, it felt like classic adventure stuff, with just enough subversions to keep it feeling modern.That I definitely agree on - as the scene was playing out, my immediate thought was how terrible an idea it was to have introduced all these characters and then make it hard to follow who was doing what in the first major action set-piece.</blockquote>
