Strong and Moving!

So much average

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The first must-see film of the year.

What can i say? badass character, plenty of content, a whole universe to explore. As a vin diesel movie this has got to be one of the best. No need to compare it to 'Pitch Black', Like Frasier in 'Cheers', Pitch black introduces the character and is a completely different movie in it's own right. (Although i do prefer chronicles)If you are looking for plenty of sci-fi, some cheesy lines, action and a pretty good watch, look no further you have found your movie. The only thing i wish was different was that the sequal 'Riddick' was more like the chronicles of riddick and continued to explore his universe rather than going back to a pitch black esque cinematic. Characters are meant to move forward and develop, not to go back a few steps because it was great the first time

This movie is really good, don't believe the Presstitute. You can see that the IMDb score is being manipulated. Each time i like a movie a lot, most of the time the latest review are really good. Some people are paid or programs software do negative review when the movie just get out and it's affecting their popularity and box office revenues. It's clear there's a manipulation in this side. Just do the test, A really good movie who get bad review get really good review after some weeks or months because real people give honest review.For the movie. It's great and it surprise me. When i'm watching a movie and i do not see the time passing by and i enjoy, it's mean it a good movie. I am really critic about movie, sometime i prefer older better movie than most of latest one.

This is what action movie is supposed to be. I lament how we undervalue a multi-layered story and Hollywood caters to the intellectually least of us when they make a lot of SiFi. If the characters don't have convincing motivations to fight you don't have a good story. I think the people who don't like this film can't appreciate all the factions and their motivations. I could understand every choice the major and minor characters made and that is amazing in any kind of story telling. It is the very reason people study Shakespeare. I have watched a lot of Science Fiction movies but very few have made me think about being in each characters shoes like The Chronicles of Riddick did.

Riddick (Vin Diesel) is still on the run from bounty hunters. He travels to Helion Prime to the source of the bounty and finds the Imam (Keith David) who he saved 5 years earlier in the movie 'Pitch Black'. His planet is under threat from invasion from a dark force spreading across the Universe. Aereon (Judi Dench) is an Elemental who is looking for Furyan warriors who can stand up to the Necromongers led by Lord Marshal (Colm Feore). The other survivor Jack had gone to look for Riddick and is now imprisoned on the roasting planet Crematoria. When the Necromongers attack the planet, Riddick escapes from the Necromongers and allows himself to be captured by bounty hunter Toombs (Nick Chinlund) He is sent to Crematoria where he reunites with Jack now called Kyra (Alexa Davalos). Riddick escapes with Kyra to the planet's sun ravaged surface. Lord Marshal sends Necromonger warrior Vakko (Karl Urban) and his wife Dame Vakko (Thandie Newton) to kill Riddick.I wish Rhiana Griffith could have returned but it's understandable to have a new Jack. She's a new age and basically a completely different character. The movie has a lot of big design. Some of it looks good. The problem is that the story is way too complicated. There are too many moving parts. The genius of the first movie is that the story is so simplistic. I wish it could use the same simplicity for this one. I really love the planet Crematoria. It would have been so much better to streamline the story to escape from Crematoria. All the stuff about Necromonger just mess things up. They could have set them up for a later movie. There's no need to pack so much into one movie.
