One of the best space opera movies. It definitelly tops Star Wars prequels and sequels and also the whole Marvel crappyverse. We need some strong, badass male characters todays more than ever. Unfortunatelly movies like this are not made anymore.
lots pathos ,action and righteous winning
The more I watch this movie, the more I like it. It´s much more sophisticated than it seems. Vin Diesel is irresistible in this film!
It would be even better if it was more cruel and dark. The best part is that one on the prison planet Crematoria. Also the chemistry between Riddick and his rival, the merc Toombs, works great. The weird worlds are creative, reminding darker and more cynical Star Wars.
Vin Diesel can´t act? :D And how exactly should one play cynical, slightly psychopatic escaped convict? Diesel was born for this role! Riddick is equaly iconic character as Terminator played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. One certainly doesn´t need to have elastic face like Jim Carrey for this kind of role. Rather the opposite.
Big step in the different course than Pitch Black was. Very brave step. I like the fantasy stuff, beautifully hostile planets and insane Crematoria physical laws :D , Twisted Necromonger religion (they are like crossbreed of Nazis and the Empire from Star Wars) and the best part - funny teasing and insulting between Riddick and Toombs. I would love to see Toombs in some sequel(s) in the future. What puts one star away is the PG-13 rating. The movie could be darker, more violent and cooler if the rating was R. Kyra-the character obviously for teenagers- is annoying mentally broken stalker who pretends to be badass like Riddick but is just pathetic. She loves to play "who is the better killer" but fails to stab Lord Marshal to the sweet spot when standing behind his back and when he´s distracted with fighting Riddick. She´s angry at Riddick and blames him for her own mistakes. If she was really badass, strong mature person, she would accept she destroyed her life and apologize him. And the most disturbing part - she signed up with mercs to find Riddick. She didn´t care he might get killed because of her. She was so obsessed with him she rather put his life in danger than to let him live his life. It bothers me ´cause teenagers romanticize her obsession and see it as love. Fortunatelly Riddick still sees her as a child who needs protection, not as potential partner (and script on Twohy´s website confirms this for sure). She´s not equal to him in any way and it would be pathetic if he saw her as a suitable partner. It wasn´t IMHO neccessary to put Kyra in the movie at all. Riddick could just escape the prison with some other people and go to kill the Lord Marshal because he killed the most of his nation and tried to kill him as a baby. The self-fullfilling prophecy is good and Necro Purifier who in fact was the one who "dreamed of it" and indirectly caused the holocaust of his nation is touching and very good part o
It was awesome!!! His eyes were soooo cool! I wish I could get contacts like that.
Wierd switch from pitch black to chronicles and middle had some sick sick sick action fight scene but the ending was a let down, I doubt there might be a sequal
BEST MOVIE EVER....CAN"T WAIT FOR THE SECOND ONE ;)
Lots of good action
