This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
This flick got off to an extremely dull, draggy, boring start, and improved only very slightly, with a couple of bouts of heavy action & violence. I found the lead character, whom I refer to as Riddick-ulous, totally implausible and silly. I did like the machinery, the guns, and the nifty space scooters. One VERY major objection I have to this movie is the outrageously excessive use of the "F" word. No, it is NOT macho or cool to throw in an eff or an effing in almost every other sentence. I took two points off because of the obscenities. BAD writing! The female character Dahl was pretty cool. I'd liked to have seen her as the lead, instead of the rather odd "Diesel". Sorry, but I cannot recommend this flick. 2/10.
Obviously nowhere near as good as the original Pitch Black, but still a enjoyable movie.Good action sequences, lots of cheesy dialogue and Riddick being unrealistically tough and resourceful.Only spoiled somewhat by the poor ending - but all good fun otherwise.
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 .
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.
