RAGNAROK: THE VIKING APOCALYPSE is a Norwegian monster movie that's nothing like TROLL HUNTER, worse luck. Instead, it feels like a movie made up of bits copied from THE RELIC, JURASSIC PARK 3, and OUTLANDER, as a bunch of archaeologists are menaced by an age-old slimy creature that has designs on the lot of them. This film benefits from some okay performances from familiar TV actors, not bad effects, and decent locations. However, it's also completely predictable and has a really hackneyed feel to it, with an air of familiarity throughout robbing it of impact and suspense. I also find the ending a bit limp; the PG-13 rating hurts this one, as a proper adult monster flick would have been more frightening.
score 5/10
