Boring
Jan 06, 2009

This movie is pretty boring and I can't believe I was forced to see it with my dad in theaters. The story is poorly bad, the acting is decent, the direction is dumb and the visuals are fairly decent. Overall, I... Full review

Better Than Pitch Black?

I loved Pitch Black as it's one of my all time favorite movies. Chronicles was a good sequel to that, but I didn't like the ending. The Director's Cut of this is better as they've added 15 minutes of extra footage... Full review

I saw this movie in theaters and although I enjoyed the film I thought it was rather clunky in places, esp. when they were trying to explain the Necromonger faith, or rather the lack of explaining that irked me. However, in... Full review

Vin Diesel reprises his role of "Riddick", in this sequel to the film "Pitch Black". However this film really has nothing to do with that film when it comes to story. This is a much bigger, and action filled adventure story... Full review

This film was not nearly as good as the first. The story was pretty weak. The acting and visuals were really good and are the best things about this movie. The direction was only on the borderline of mediocre. This film... Full review

try and look at the two films as fairly different entities, 'Chronicles of Riddick' can be an enjoyable ride.....Acting is across the board fine with Newton being a particular standout and Diesel always proving to be charismatic via scowls and deadpans.....A fairly outstanding transfer, minted right from the digital master, detail and color is amazing with consistent CGI effects that still hold up.....After a cool 'race the sun' action sequence, the pressure is on for Riddick to live up to his destiny.... ...

they still did not make an awful film.....I´d be calling it a great film with a great action hero that brings back the fun in science fiction.....The Chronicles of Riddick" isn´t necessarily a bad film and I admit....Big explosions, incredible effects and grand battle sequences.....it has grown on me after repeated viewings to the point where I actually enjoy the film for its entertainment value..... ...

Some may call David Twohy's film pretentious But for me, give me a good story any day. Just don't expect a meaningful storyline or satisfying relationships between the characters. ... Full Review

The effects are nice on the big screen though. Instead we are left with a jumbled images and dialogue and we get a little lost. The Dish I kinda liked this flick. Vin Deisel threw around some funny one-liners. ... Full Review
