Must See Movie...

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This flick got off to an extremely dull, draggy, boring start, and improved only very slightly, with a couple of bouts of heavy action & violence. I found the lead character, whom I refer to as Riddick-ulous, totally implausible and silly. I did like the machinery, the guns, and the nifty space scooters. One VERY major objection I have to this movie is the outrageously excessive use of the "F" word. No, it is NOT macho or cool to throw in an eff or an effing in almost every other sentence. I took two points off because of the obscenities. BAD writing! The female character Dahl was pretty cool. I'd liked to have seen her as the lead, instead of the rather odd "Diesel". Sorry, but I cannot recommend this flick. 2/10.

To be frank, I like this movie much better than Pitch Black. The reason is, that I find the characters much more interesting.I never liked the young Jones in Pitch Black. The new villain Santana and the older Jones are much more interesting. I even like Dahl. The other characters are the standard typical Mercs (with one exception, though also not interesting either -- every Riddick movie needs a religious man, it seams) ... nothing to remember here.The story, to be frank is basically a copy of Pitch Black with some different CGI. Maybe they thought, that if it worked once, let it do the job twice. The plot is simply rather dull and predictable from the beginning. Even the ending is very disappointing (I read somewhere, that the directors cut version shall give a little more ... but not much).Some plot holes are there also - for example two ships with top SciFi-equipment that shall detect any movement, but Riddick seams to be able to move without detection everywhere ... no hinting, why or how. Again Riddick is just without physical limits ... for me, a little to implausible, but who cares ...At least some cool lines and watchable interactions between the people -- I found it more interesting than Pitch Black.

A classic Vin Disel and a lonely planet teeming with strange predators challenge the will of bounty hunters and a forelorn battle commander. There is non-stop action from chase scenes to hand to hand combat. The alienated Riddick learns to domesticate the wild planet and master the terrain. Living alone and then suddenly finding threats from his dark past drive the ferocious Riddick into a desperate plight to escape and leave the opposition in the dust. Integrity, chivalry, and readiness are all subject to the strains of skirmishes. Riddick's time on the planet allows him to set traps just long enough for the irony of his desired apprehension to climax and convert some of his enemies into friends.

Riddick (2013): Dir: David Twohy / Cast: Vin Diesel, Jordi Molla, Matthew Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista: They should have named the title character Ridiculous for all the nonsense he has been through with three stupid films. We have a world of visual effects and creatures that wouldn't be any more believable than if they were shipped from Sesame Street complete with the letter "R." Vin Diesel once again portrays Riddick whom he played twice before and he seeks refuge from enemies out to take his head. Of course, he is sought after and a lot of pointless ass kicking follows with a lot of under developed characters meeting a nasty end when deadly creatures emerge at night. Riddick has special glasses and eye sight that allows him to see in the dark. Unfortunately for Diesel it doesn't prevent him from reading a terrible script that also includes his less than inspiring narration. Director David Twohy is skilled but has wasted time on three of these useless projects when his talent was accompanied with a better script with the underrated and suspenseful The Perfect Getaway. Besides Diesel the rest of the cast portray mainly faceless imbeciles with a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time when it comes to survival. Just like Pitch Black this manages to be every bit as pointless and stupid, and it carries on the whole theme of people doing stupid things that ultimately result in their mindless death. Perhaps the best way to deal with a film like this is to shove it deep into a trash compactor and hope that it eventually recycles into a better film. Or at least a sardine can. Score: 2 / 10
