The Chronicles of Riddick
Death by tea cup
As I've said, my preferred of the Riddick films.
A radical departure from Pitch Black, but one that still works very well and is mostly carried on the shoulders of the Riddick character. There's other story lines besides his own...but come on, this movie is all about the awesomeness that is Richard B. Riddick
No more horror element to this film, its instead replaced by action and more action. Vin Diesel gets to play "Who's the Better Killer". Nuff said
Just like in Pitch Black, Diesel is bad*** as Riddick; he handles the serious and the comedy of the role well...which Vin Diesel is hilarious at comedy (besides the Pacifier
) because its strange to see this big, buff, stone faced guy making jokes
I like the story of the
[Show spoiler]Necromongers coming to take over worlds and Riddick being the only one who is capable of killing the Lord Marshall. But I like it because he is just such a skilled fighter 
, not because he has mystical Furian power as we are told in the Director's Cut 
This movie got a lot of crap for not living up to Pitch Black but I definitely don't agree with that obviously. It's got some good fighting, a chase sequence, a very cool main character, the most interesting weapon to kill someone with I've ever seen
and a good final fight. Good enough for me. I go in expecting a fun action movie and that's exactly what I get
Rating - 4.25/5
Can't wait for
Riddick in 2012.
