Review of The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) by Jason J — 25 Jul 2011
'The Chronicles of Riddick' is the sequel to 'Pitch Black' although it has very little in common with that first movie. Riddick is once again played by Vin Diesel. If you like science fiction and action I have to admit there is a good chance you will enjoy this movie.
It is not as good as 'Pitch Black', but the movie knows that and tries to make up for that with the special effects, art direction, costumes etc. In some ways it works. It is filled with action and when that happens you easily forget how bad a story actually is.
Vin Diesel is the right actor in a movie like this and most of the time he was great. Overall, while visually stimulating, this was sunk by a poor script with action sequences which just fell short for me.
