Chronicles of Riddick

Pros: Amazing SFX and fantastic musical score, a couple of good plot twists at the end...
Cons: ... the rest of the plot, all of the acting, everything else...

Pitch Black was a fine film, in fact I considered worthy of being placed at number in my Top Ten Science Fiction Films list. Sadly, The Chronicles of Riddick is nothing whatsoever like ...

Pros: Enjoyed watching "my man" Vin Diesel in action
Cons: Weak supporting cast.

This time I avoided the reviews written by the Hollywood critics and wanted to see The Chronicles of Riddick first hand so I could give it the once over, before being inundated with Tinsel town's slanderous spin on action hero’s. Like the ...

Pros: acting, score, Vin Diesel, the story, the action sequences
Cons: at 2 hours, it just wasn't long enough for me :)

The Chronicles of Riddick premiered last night, June 11th, 2004. The movie is actually a sequel to the 2000 success Pitch Black to give a quick background of the story, lets delve into what happened in Pitch Black. A transport ship carrying 40 ...

Pros: Good cast, awesome scenery and effects
Cons: Too much chaotic action, lack of character development

The Chronicles of Riddick stars Vin Diesel and is the sequel to Pitch Black. He also had a minor role in Saving Private Ryan, but Pitch Black is really the first theatre-released movie where he had a starring role. With this movie, Diesel returns to ...

Pros: Vin Diesel's charisma, the special effects, the subplot of a man who likes dogs.
Cons: The plot borrows from many others, and the acting is thin in spots.

I’m probably going to go against the grain of a lot of my fellow reviewers on this one, but I found The Chronicles of Riddick to be a very satisfying science fiction movie. I can understand why some folks won’t think it’s so ...

Pros: Middling to good acting, great special effects, plenty of action, good story, fun movie.
Cons: Derivative script, suspension of disbelief is so totally required.

SPOILER ALERT: This entire review is one big-a** spoiler. Not just for the Chronicles of Riddick either; I spoil like 30 movies you haven’t seen in the body of this review. In fact, I think I even reveal when and how you die somewhere ...

Pros: Vin Diesel. Great SF Plot. Great Action. Brilliant Graphics.
Cons: Possibly too much plot

They are an army unlike any other... crusading across the stars toward a place called UnderVerse, their promised land - a constellation of dark new worlds. Necromongers, they're called. And if they cannot convert you, they will kill you. Leading them, ...

Pros: -
Cons: -

I hate movie critics. I hate them at times with such intensity, that I’d like to see their heads on a stick. Bashing anything that Vin Diesel does has almost become the cool thing to do amongst critics. What do they want exactly? Is Vin supposed to ...

Pros: Vin Diesel's performance, and some other Pros.
Cons: Horribly paced, directed, acted, and edited.

Pitch Black, while not exactly being the most original film ever made, still turned out to be a very entertaining, fun and scary ride. The director, David Twohy, kept a sustained tense atmosphere throughout, and some of the sequences in that film ...

Pros: special effects
Cons: too much CGI, dialogue, screenplay, direction, concepts, character development

“The Chronicles of Riddick” is a soulless two-hour exercise of mind numbing special effects with no direction. Without a brain in its muscle-bound body, “Riddick” takes us on a long and promising journey much like its original film “Pitch Black,” only at ...

Pros: Vin Diesel, CGI, action
Cons: It's not rated R

I don’t go to the movie theatre unless I really, truly want to see a movie. Okay, that’s a crock. Or maybe it’s not. I like going to new movies because I like to see movies when I know that not tha many people have seen it yet. When I plan on going to ...

Pros: Thandie Newton
Cons: Pic's unswerving loyalty to Diesel; Judy Dench's talents wasted

Midway through sci-fi (d)opus THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK, our titular hero's galactic travels have landed him on a penal planet called Crematorium. Naturally it's only a matter of time (If not certainty) before Riddick (Vin Diesel) busts loose, but when ...

Pros: A fairly good action flick with some really wickedly good parts.
Cons: Not the vehicle to turn Riddick into a franchise.

The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) Directed by David Twohy In the movie P itch Black we met Riddick, the biggest bad@$$ on two legs. A convicted murderer on his way back to the slam, his ship crash-landed, on a ...

Pros: Action galore with special effects to match
Cons: Too much glitz and not enough plot

Hi there. Today was my birthday so my daughter and I decided, or rather I decided to take in a movie. There seems to be lots of interesting movies out right now but I'm a big Sci-Fi nut so Chronicles of Riddick it was. Now Riddick was not a great ...

Pros: Good special effects, acceptable plot development, just a fun movie.
Cons: The acting is sub-par. Some lack of realism. Bad character development.

The Premise. After Pitch Black ended, Riddick dropped off his passengers and apparently hung around for a short time. He then left them in an attempt to find solitude. About six years later this movie starts out with Riddick being chased by ...
