I see the negative reviews based on some gayness and the 'tired subject' of climate change and all that does is make me want to watch even more of what I've seen of it already seen and enjoyed.

A 1*??? ..Means the worst possible movie. That must come from people who have only seen about 4 movies in their entire life. Anyone who's seen an actual movie deserving one star, turns it off in about 3 minutes. Watching an entire movie you think is the worst ever is pretty stupid and per usual, is always about they're not liking a certain political point or gay people in them. Those aren't movie reviews and I feel obligated to add a few extra stars to a 1* rated movie because of that...which isn't right either. What all of that does is corrupt the integrity of reviewing movies. * This is my second review of Ragnarok because I wrote the first one after watching only 2 episodes. I'm now, after finishing it, adding another star because the series deserves it. The low ratings are ridiculous and obviously from those who didn't watch much or they wouldn't make such ridiculous claims like..It's just left wing climate change propaganda or It's just another teenage soap opera, or I didn't like that the main guy who never smiled, etc. There was nothing in the series that was anything like that and the guy didn't smile for a reason.

By the third episode, you start to get what's going on, if you hadn't already, and by the fourth, I couldn't stop watching it. The last 3 episodes, nearly an hour and a half, seemed liked 15 minutes to me. Maybe because people aren't used to an intelligently made series that doesn't shove car chases and ridiculous fight scenes in your face every five minutes but unfolds into a well defined story about social justice using every day issues and ancient folklore involving gods and giants. That's all you get. You'll get it if you watch the whole thing. Seriously impressed.

Anyone giving this movie a low score simply doesn't understand what it's about. It's based on the book, Secrecy World, which has high ratings...and the Panama Papers. ...the discovery of 11.5 million leaked documents from corporations, shell companies and billionaires and off shore banks where tens of trillions of dollars are stashed by them to avoid taxes. The movie is done in a sort of comical way, but is based on facts found in the Panama Papers exposed by a whistleblower...and what's depicted is all true. I'm not giving anything away as those things can be found in the description of the movie. It's a movie that everyone should see and try and understand the message.

The immediate string of 1 star reviews look like a conspiracy from people who auditioned for a part in the movie and didn't get it. The movie, not the best put together one, probably due to the budget, kept me entertained throughout the entire film. I think most of the 1 star voters did not watch the whole movie as it got more and more interesting as it went along...full of twists and hints of explanations. Every episode left you wanting to see the next one. And each one gave you a new perspective you didn't see coming. The entire concept of the movie was original and interesting, once you understood what it is, and you find out early.

To give a 1 star rating, means it's the worst movie possible. If you've watched more than ten movies in your life, you know there's many many much worse movies. To put a movie like this in that category is ridiculous.

It seems now days that if you simply didn't like a movie (or it had have a certain political agenda you don't like), it was only worth a 1 star no matter how many others liked it. (If they use words like 'liberal agenda', you know where they're coming from and their reviews are pretty much worthless) What happened to 3, 4 5, star ratings? When someone gives it a one star, it prompts people who enjoyed the movie to give it 10 stars to average the ratings out. That's not how it's supposed to work.
