Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Floated2 Riddick is the supposed sequel to The Chronicles of Riddick (2004), recurring writer-director David Twohy and star Vin Diesel get back to basics with Riddick, all but ignoring the events of Chronicles to make the film much more in the spirit of the original Riddick adventure, the low budget Pitch Black (2000). But maybe too much in that spirit, as the new movie at times plays almost like a remake of the earlier one.Similar to Pitch Black, Riddick tells a lean, self-contained story aside from a couple references to characters and events of the previous films — characters and events that. This third film of the franchise is quite easily better than Chronicles as it is due to its R-rating and it feels more authentic and less cartoonish. Though Chronicles was rated PG-13 it made the most from the box office. At times, this film feels quite off and boring and most of the scenes are the ones with Vin Diesel off screen, as they spend a lot of time in the second half building the side characters. Problem is, we mostly do not care for them. Riddick is a decent action film but nothing too special .

NateWatchesCoolMovies Being a huge fan of the two previous Riddick films, I was overjoyed to hear that Vin Diesel would be raiding his own couch for change to save up in order to make this R rated follow up, still helmed by David Twohy. It's reassuring that in a franchise with more than a few haters, Diesel has the passion and ambition for his character to go out of his way in bringing this to fans. Not to mention what a kick ass, gnarly little space yarn it turned out to be. Pitch Black was a claustrophobic horror fest set on a single harsh world, and The Chronicles Of Riddick opened up into a vast galactic space opera. This one reigns it in closer again (partly because of budget, I would imagine) and gets back to the roots established in Pitch Black. After defeating the Necromongers and becoming their King, Riddick is betrayed and sent into exile by the treacherous Lord Vaako (Karl Urban in a brief but memorable reprisal). Cast out into the stars with a ship running low on fuel, he finds himself marooned on a small, deadly planet that's more challenging than any other he has found himself on (and if you remember, he has been to some hellish little nooks in the past). This world is a dry, acrid rock where every form of wildlife seems to be incredibly lethal, and out to get him. The first half of the film is pure genius, and consists of Riddick playing Survivorman with his environment, battling aliens and elements and befriending a small hell-pup type doggo that grows up into a teeth and claw ridden killing machine that is at one point referred to as a 'dingo dango thing'. This is where it's at for the film, and as soon as the more generic second half arrives, the air gets a bit stale, but it's still heaps of fun. After mastering the terrain and ingeniously dispatching a snakelike alien that seems to have wandered right in from Wolfgang Petersen's Enemy Mine (practical effects POWER), he encounters trouble of the human variety, in the form of bounty hunters. Two teams of outlaws have arrived to claim him: the stern Boss Johns (Matt Nable) who has an old bone to pick with Riddick, and the psychotic A-hole Santana (Jordi Molla, who I think of as the Latin Gary Oldman). They bicker a whole bunch on who gets the prize, unknowingly being infiltrated and messed up by the guy before they've barely landed. Katee Sackhoff is nutso awesome as Dahl, a lesbo tough chick who legit has the line "I don't f*ck guys, but occasionally I f*uck them up." Soon there's more charming wildlife, this time in droves of shrieking reptilian predators who intend to see each of them, Riddick included, dead. This forces an amusingly unstable team-up from all forces to battle the uglies and escape this godforsaken place. It's giddy sci-fi pulp good times, and benefits from its hard R rating, something which the other two films never had on their side. Diesel was born to play Riddick, the growling teddy bear, and I hope he gets to continue wearing the goggles for more of these movies, indefinitely if possible. A hell of a great time.

Reidal80 Watched last night for a second time the blu ray of Riddick ,what an amazing movie, The first 40 minutes are so enjoyable remind me the movie : Enemy mine, in the deserted planet fighting for survival, nice effects, love also the different kind of aliens creatures, remember after pitch black and the chronicles how pp complain about the lack of monsters in the second film, and now they complained saying is like first one.Hello????? We the fans were pleased , and yes we like more of the same!!! Can't wait for the four film of the saga. Thanks Vin diesel and David Twohy ,we the fans know all the efforts you put to continue the saga for us!!!.

Son-of-WRA I'm usually very forgiving when it comes to sci-fi, but sometimes there's nothing to build that forgiveness upon. When a franchise returns to its roots, the film risks self-plagiarism and comes off as lazy and tapped out of ideas. This was simply a remake of "Pitch Black" and it fell limp as a dead fish. There was no flow to the story and the plot was simply a hole the entire production should have been buried in.When "The Chronicles of Riddick" was panned, I thought the critics were crazy. When they did so again for this film, I thought that I was going to like it. About fifteen minutes in I knew it was going to be a bore-fest. I highly DON'T recommend this movie.
