Expected more

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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.

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.

Pitch Black and the Chronicles of Riddick are very scary movie. This is scarier. AHHHHHHHHHHHH! This is one of scariest movie I have ever seen. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It also not 6.4. 6.4 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 6.4 is underrating. I give this movie. 10 out of 10 because it is one of the best movies ever. It is very scary. If it does not scary you no movie will. AHHHHHHHHHHHH! That is what you say when you see this movie. Ahhhhhhhhhh! This a great science fiction movie. See it.

Being a fan of this movie series, I had high hopes for this film. In the end they didn't quite crash and burn but... they didn't soar either.Technically, it was a decent film for this genre. The CGI was noticeable, but not really in-your-face, and there was the neat sequence at the beginning where there was hardly any spoken dialogue, as Riddick was at the time alone and just trying to survive in his new environment. Some gimmicks in the plot even caught me by surprise, like the final when the two way battle between Riddick and the mercenaries became a free for all as they all found themselves trying to survive the swarming local critters.In the end this movie suffers from nothing so much as the fact that it is pointless. Because what does it contribute to the ongoing plot of the series? That Riddick is no longer in control of the Necromongers, as he was in the end of the last film.Really, that's it.You could summarize it as: Necromongers betray Riddick and dump him on some hostile planet - Riddick fights some mercs - Riddick steals the merc ship and escapes.Really, you could have covered all that in a one-minute flashback scene. There was some attempt to tie the movie with the previous films by having one of the passing side characters question Riddick about the fate of another character that died way back in Pitch Black, but even that leads to nowhere, as in the end they amicably part ways, presumably to never meet again.So thanks for the action flick, but you didn't answer any of the questions you left open in the previous part. Hopefully someone decides to add a proper closure to the series before Vin Diesel is too old to pull off the role.

RIDDICK is the third of a trilogy of films starring Vin Diesel as blind warrior battling aliens in outer space. The first film was PITCH BLACK, an efficient low budget horror/thriller set on a dingy alien planet; the second was THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK, which was a somewhat overblown sci-fi fantasy; this third production is a combination of the two.We're back on a smaller scale here, with Vin Diesel stranded in an inhospitable landscape with only his alien 'dog' for company. The relationship between man and 'dog' is one of the highlights of the movie. Soon enough some bad guys enter the fray, a team of mercenaries including the hulking Dave Bautista, and plentiful action ensues.On a superficial level, this is entertaining stuff. There's rarely a slow moment and lots of action to make your mind off the familiarity of the storyline. Another plus is that the CGI effects, both landscapes and creatures, are very good indeed. I saw this film in high definition and it looked fantastic throughout. Diesel has always been good in these stoic parts too, so he doesn't disappoint either. If you're looking for depth, nuance, or intricacy, you're likely to be disappointed; if CGI action is all you care for, then you'll likely enjoy this one.
