Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter 08/18/2014
An action-adventure yarn wrapped around a monster-movie core, Ragnarok elevates familiar B-movie material with well-matched cultural specificity and realistic family dynamics. Go to Full Review

"Ragnarok" is the rare Spielberg clone that feels like it was made by people that not only know what they like about Spielberg's films, but are capable of evoking them. Go to Full Review
Rob Humanick Slant Magazine 08/12/2014
1/4
In the end, any and all potential B-movie fun is extinguished by Ragnarok's depressingly listless anonymity. Go to Full Review

4/5
Successfully delivers a family-friendly adventure akin to Amblin outings from the '80s, while also injecting some fresh perspectives by delivering a blend of H.P. Lovecraft and Viking mythology. Go to Full Review

Sandemose certainly proves that fjords are strikingly cinematic, but he never fully capitalizes on the Ragnarok mythos or the Oseberg backstory. Go to Full Review

Bring it on, Norway. "Ragnark" is a fantasy adventure that's really impressive. Although it can scare younger children, most of the family will be just fine with this hybrid of a B-movie creature feature and the Nicholas Cage flick, "National Treasure." Go to Full Review

Carlos T 12/09/2024 Filme: RAGNAROK Assistido: 8-12-24 Elenco: @pal_sverre_hagen_fansite @clevebroch @its_mariaannette @actress_sofia_helin_ Modelo: #aventura #ação Duração: 1H 40m Ano: 2013 Minha opinião: Nunca havia visto um filme do Monstro do Lago Ness, mas sempre tem uma 1º vez. Apesar do titulo ser Ragnarok, martelo, Thor, o filme não tem nada haver a não ser a respeito dos Vikings. Um filme classe C. Se vermos o filme de forma geral será uma nota 4, mas se vermos como o filme C, ai damos 8. O filme foi bem produzido mesmo por um baixo orçamento, mas bem executado. É claro que o filme fez o máximo para não depender de CGI, por isso as aparições do monstro são poucas, mas que consegue segurar as pessoas na frente da TV. Atuações medianas vale ressalva para Annette. O filme mistura um pouco de Tomb Rider com Anaconda. Um filme de exploração que descobrem um cemitério de cadáveres que não eram apenas da era vikings. E a descobrem que tem uma criatura que vivem a tantos séculos. Seu filho descobre um ovo da criatura que Allan esconde de todos e o monstro começa a persegui-los. Até que Sigurd devolve e todos vivem felizes. Roteiro e enredo já são conhecidos mas bem executados com as limitações financeiras Vale apena assistir? Para curiosos. Nota: se ver como filme normal nota 4, mas se vermos como um filme C aí é 8. See more David W 04/17/2023 Dustin Putman's calling this a Norwegian Jurassic Park is spot on, though in this case the dinosaurs are replaced by a Norwegian Godzilla. Unfortunately, despite a few tense moments, there's no rampaging climax you would expect from such a film. And for that, I wouldn't watch it again. See more 07/26/2021 A decent cheesy monster movie. Pop some popcorn and enjoy the ride. See more 02/06/2020 The series started off well but I lost interest midway. The characters were never developed at all. Magne had powers but never used them past throwing a hammer 1.5 km and arm wrestling. His mother... well I never figured out her purpose at all as well has his brother who was obviously much older than Magne. Things happened which were not logical like Magne never confronting any of his enemies. All he did was sit around with a strange look on his face as things happened. And the finale was less that interesting. The writers need to revisit what they are trying to do and put more action in the series, if there happens to be a season 2, which, at this point, I sincerely doubt. It started good and went totally flat. I doubt I would waste time on another season, but I MIGHT just to see if they developed the characters more. At this point, 1.5 stars, interesting at first but going totally flat and uninteresting from the middle on. See more 12/09/2019 While it was somewhat predictable, I was pleasantly surprised by this film. I went in expecting a typical low budget monster movie, but the CGI was actually pretty good and locations were beautiful. I do believe there was a missed opportunity to tie in more Viking lore, but I'd definitely recommend watching this.
