Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Bigger isn't always better, but for anyone who enjoyed Pitch Black, a nominal sequel like The Chronicles of Riddick should prove adequately entertaining. Writer-director David Twohy returns with expansive sets, detailed costumes, an army of CGI effects artists, and the star he helped launch--Vin Diesel--bearing his franchise burden quite nicely as he reprises his title role. The Furian renegade Riddick has another bounty on his head, but when he escapes from his mercenary captors, he's plunged into an epic-scale war waged by the Necromongers. A fascist master race led by Lord Marshal (Colm Feore), they're determined to conquer all enemies in their quest for the Underverse, the appeal of which is largely unexplained (since Twohy is presumably reserving details for subsequent 'chronicles'). With tissue-thin plotting, scant character development, and skimpy roles that waste the talents of Thandie Newton (as a Necromonger conspirator) and Judi Dench (as a wispy 'Elemental' priestess), Twohy's back in the B-movie territory he started in (with The Arrival), brought to vivid life on a vast digital landscape with the conceptual allure of a lavish graphic novel. But does Riddick have leadership skills on his resumé? To get an answer to that question, sci-fi fans will welcome another sequel. --Jeff Shannon

- Very Entertaining
This is the sequel to Pitch Black and wow, was it good.

My husband and I watched it together and we were both thoroughly entertained by the effects, the characters, and the storyline. Although there were some parts that I thought were just plain silly like (SPOILER) Riddick and Jack trying to prove who was the better killer (END SPOILER SECTION), overall it was a good movie. Not a deep, oscar-worthy movie, but good enough to watch and recommend to others.

Rating: 3 out of 5

When I saw the commercials for this film I thought, "Man, that movie looks so cool, I have got to see it!" I've been a fan of heroic science fiction since I was a kid. I grew up reading Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E. Howard, so I thought that Chronicles Of Riddick (hereafter referred to as C.O.R.) was made for guys like me. It might have been, and I did have some fun watching the movie. The problem was a lot of the fun I was having was laughing during what was supposed to be some of the most serious scenes.

C.O.R. takes place some years after another science fiction movie that Riddick (played by Vin Diesel) was in, named ... Read More

Rating:

- Mediocre
Pitch Black was great. It was edgy and had a tight narrative. Director's cut or theatrical cut: Chronicles of Riddick was bloated, slow, and just flat out mediocre. Not a bad movie but average all-round. I don't know if making a PG-13 movie was intended to bring in more of a broad audience, but it definitely lost out on the hard core sci-fi fans from Pitch Black.
