Review of The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) by Ahmed " — 03 Nov 2009
It is always tricky when you change the genre of the sequal,it will either get the fans of the original angry at this change or they will forget this genre thing and enjoy watching the characters they loved in the original, suppossing the sequal was nicely done for sure.
Here I got mixed feelings at the first half hour I was furious that the movie maker changed the genre from Sci Fi Horror(like in the first two Alien films) into action similar to xXx but Sci Fi wise(If you considered xXx not a Sci Fi movie).
As the movie progressed ,when I found the movie really worth my time, I forgot about the original,when of my favorites movies ever by the way, and started to enjoy. I donot know why this movie was a flop,maybe changing the genre thing, as it was a very good action SFX ride with Vin Diesel kicking the asses of different sorts of people.
Some action scenes were very stunning and breathtaking,very evil villains that you hope you can kill them youself(a very cheesy quote I know but neccessary to get you in the mood to watch Sci Fi which is an enjoyable cheesy thing itself) and Thandie Newton is always a sweet thing to look at after all; really Sci Fi fans cannot ask for more.
