Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Tweekums A militaristic cult, the Necromongers, is sweeping through a series of planets; the people of those planets are given a choice; convert or die. Riddick, having survived the events in 'Pitch Black' has been in hiding for the past five years but mercenaries have now caught up with him. He beats them and takes their ship and heads to New Mecca to find the man who employed them; the Imam he had saved. Here he meets Aereon, an Air Elemental, who tells him about the Necromongers. They soon arrive and take over the planet and Riddick kills one of their best men before being captured. Later their leader discovers that Riddick is a Furyan; a warrior race who have been prophesied to kill him so orders his death. He escapes and is promptly caught by the mercenaries who take him to the prison planet Cremetoria; a world where the daytime is over 700 degrees and the night time is well below freezing. Here he finds the girl he saved in 'Pitch Black' and once again starts to plan an escape… while the Necromongers are closing in on them.Having enjoyed 'Pitch Black', which I found genuinely scary I was optimistic that this would be pretty good too. Unfortunately while it isn't bad it is nowhere near as good. In many ways it feels like a film that just happens to feature the same protagonist rather than a sequel. The story is somewhat confused; it felt as though the creators came up with a variety of ideas they wanted to include then struggled to find a good way to justify their inclusion. The Necromongers weren't as threatening as they should have been; at no point did I feel Riddick was in any real danger. There special effects are fairly obvious CGI for the most part. There is some good action at times and I liked Alexa Davalos's performance as Kyra; it was better than some more well-known actors. Overall I'd say this is an okay main-in-neutral film; certainly not a must see unless you are s serious Vin Diesel fan.

steynbergt-56997 This is an excellent movie. From start to finish.A movie that, every time you watch it, you notice something that you did not see before, from background scenes and props to characters and how they react. All these little things you start to notice fits perfectly into the whole movie. Wow. Well done guys.Then off course the action is incredible.I love how a movie starts off in one place and by the time it ends, you are worlds away from were it started. The actors was excellently selected for the characters they portray.The only reason I give it 8 out of 10 is because Keira is no longer with us...

krycek19 Not that I like her, but for her to have a small supporting role in a Vin Diesel picture is just weird.As for the movie itself, it sucks serious ass. Vin Diesel is not even the problem here. He delivers a decent performance, in spite of the material.The fact that this crap get 10/10 from certain users, tells me, there are more pimpled 13 year old boys on IMDb, than there are adult users.Apart from the rating (Vin Diesel is thrown around and is taking a serious ass kicking and he only bleeds a little bit. When people are stabbed, there is no blood etc. But the awful CGI is the movies biggest problem.It's even worse than in the Star Wars prequels. Whether its a landscape or a spaceship, it looks completely fake. And that's not good enough even for a 10 year old movie. I can make more convincing effects with apps on my iPhone.And the spaceships look like giantbath-tubs and heaters. And the badguys wears armor, like medieval times with a futuristic twist. Actually they just look gay and they all speak like they're in a Shakespearian play.Avoid this!!

TVadic73 SPOILER ALERT---This movie is TERRIBLE. The acting, the script...TERRIBLE. The special effects..not so bad actually. I will admit that I've seen worse acting, but it was ME--as the elephant in my Second Grade school play. I was TERRIBLE. In my defense..my commitment was lacking...I wanted to be the Circus Strongman. I would love to interview Vin Diesel to ask what his excuse is for oozing bad acting all over this film, but i'm positive that I would find his performance as an interviewee unbelievable. The script made me weep for the trees that gave their lives to this project. A forest fire would've been a more honorable way to go. It was a mash up of incoherent rambling disguised as bad-ass one liners. They were bad, they were ass. They were definitely not bad-ass. The premise of the movie was not bad. The execution was....like watching an execution...if the victim was innocent and a bunny rabbit. I actually enjoyed the special effects though I suspect it was necessary after Vin diesel chewed the scenery out of every set piece. A waste of Colm Feore. One good apple cannot save the bunch. SPOILER ALERT--This movie is TERRIBLE.....and i've seen it at least a dozen times. I cannot look away. HELP!!!
