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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very EntertainingThis 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:  - riddickI received my order quickly. It always seems like I'm getting a gift, even though I pay for it. I mean there it is wrapped up in the mailing packaging. is it my movie. something else? surprise....It's my movie. better pop it in my hd dvd player. Also this place is one of the last places to find hd dvd movies. Thank you amazon!!! The movie by the way was in great condition. has extra footage to actually help you understand the movie better. very creative. I hope they continue the series. Rating:  - Impressive trash!!!Blood and Rain Blood for the Masses Chronicles Of Riddick Written and Directed by David Twohy Starring Vin Diesel Alexa Davalos Colm Feore Review by B.L.Morgan 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, ... Read More Rating:  - MediocrePitch 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. Rating: - The Chronicles of RiddickThis is one of my favorite movies, if you are a Vin Diesel fan you can't go wronge with The Chronicles of Riddick. The action and special effects are great.
