How sad is this?
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Blistering performances.
I was excited to watch this movie form its description and it started really well. Well it was OK for me, as we move through the movie again it keeps you interested until ¾'s of the way through it and it starts to have parts from Jurassic Park and then also Anaconda and numerous b_ movies of similar ilk. It is hard to write as I do not want to give spoilers however it is defiantly not in the league of Jurassic Park but lovers of Anaconda and several copycat movies will like this even though there is not as much "anaconda Action. So I was disappointed as I believe the description led me to believe something else, which maybe is my fault but that said this is a B- grade movie at best unless you love anaconda. Each to his own I guess. I thought the actors all were quiet solid and performed well albeit predictably. A poor ending as well. I just wish they gave us more, even a ghost from the past or something.
Already the heroic-like Vikingy folksy music is not encouraging. Sounds like a cheesy power-metal album intro. It's the kind of music that announces a children's action movie, which this dull flick is to some extent.Predictable from start to finish, a strictly formulaic movie. The characters would all fail their IQ tests, coz none of them ever realize that the Kermit the Viking lizard is the reason Mother Monster is chasing the bunch in the first place. It gets dumber: the subject of Kermit-in-a-box is never brought up, but somehow the expedition leader turns out to know about it much later. Wouldn't the director have found it prudent to include a scene in which Sigbjorg is informed by the others that they're tagging along a baby monster? Wouldn't that be just a tad too important not to mention? A real little dinosaur dragon? But no, just as Sigfjord's stupid son didn't deem it necessary to report to his father that he found a huge round object which was obviously an egg. Nor was the young child supervised enough to not be on his own long enough to find something crucial and hide it away in his bag like the moron that he is. Clearly Sigbjork doesn't give a toss about his offspring, and frankly I can't blame him either. If anything, kids usually brag about the smallest thing they find, yet this kid kept his discovery a secret – just so the movie could have its stupid, predictable, cliché plot-device. As if we didn't know it's an egg. As if we couldn't figure out that it would hatch and wreck havoc.The blond chick is very absurdly some kind of a vagabond action-woman, a sort of vapid, homeless version of Lara Croft and Batwoman. There are two young men in this adventure, and yet it's the blond hobo girly who saves the day on several occasions. Oh the feminists, they never rest on their non-laurels. Yes, we understand, Mr. and Mrs. Left-wing Filmmaker, women are just as physically competent as men – and that's probably why men and women compete separately in ALL sports, even in chess which isn't even a real sport. And why women play best-of-three sets in grand slam events – but ask for equal pay. So they must be mental equals to men also, right? If I could have a penny for every brilliant female scientist, I could buy a house – for an ant.The stupidity of the expedition's members isn't insignificant. They fail to realize that the fat guide is a sleazy, suspicious character who very predictably screws them over and then even more predictably fails to escape but gets eaten by Kermit's maker. Then it takes them a whole half-hour of running away from the Findragon to realize that Kermit is the reason they are being pursued and that to appease the dragon all they need is to hand over the worm to it.
I usually like Norwegian films - I loved the Cold Prey series, Headhunters, Troll Hunter, etc, so I approached this with high expectation. What a disappointment! From start to finish, this film was badly scripted, badly acted (apart from Sofia Helin), predictable, and unintentionally hilarious. It's not a Viking movie, it's not a thriller, it's not a monster movie, it's not even a passable family drama, rather it's a tepid mish mash of all those genres, and fails in every aspect.It's biggest sin, however, is that it is just unforgivably dull. Dire. 1/10 for Sofia Helin (Elisabeth).
In Norway, the archaeologist Sigurd Svendsen (Pål Sverre Hagen) is obsessed with the mythology about Ragnarok that he had researched with his deceased wife that died of cancer. Sigurd raises his children Ragnhild (Maria Annette Tanderød Berglyd) and Brage (Julian Podolski) alone and expects to receive a donation for the museum where he works to proceed with his research with runes that had been found in the Oseberg ship but the contributors refuse to donate money for his work. Sigurd meets his colleague Allan (Nicolai Cleve Broch), who also research the myth about Ragnarok, and they decide to go on an expedition with the also archaeologist Elisabeth (Sofia Helin) and Ragnhild and Brage that are on vacation. Allan hires the guide Leif (Bjørn Sundquist) and they travel to a no man land in the border of Norway and Russia. They cross a lake in a wooden raft and they find some relics in a cave but they are stolen and left behind by Leif. Elizabeth spends the night with the children in a container but Sigurd and Allan continue to explore the cave. Soon they discover that the real meaning of the runes is a warning about the danger in the location where they are."Gåten Ragnarok" is a Norwegian B-movie with a story similar to "Anaconda" with an ancient serpent in a lake. This predictable movie is an entertaining matinée for the family in a Saturday afternoon and has wonderful cinematography and locations. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Ragnarok"
